“The vendor of our previous intranet announced it would reach end-of-life in twelve months. We selected Krish through an RFP process, and their team proved to be the experts we needed. They guided us through reviewing our existing intranet, educated our implementation team on the possibilities of SharePoint, and helped us build a solution that was delivered on time, within budget, and immediately embraced by the campus community.”, said a key stakeholder at Cincinnati State.
