    Confluent is very supportive during the entire process from learning about Confluent Cloud, through evaluation to post implementation support. Confluent supported and continues to support both business and technical requirements through the engagement and now ongoing relationship. They were supportive of our specific contractual and technical requirements. With the continued development of the product and the new features this provides a platform to continue to innovate in the future. Customer Advisory Boards and forums enable customers to voice their opinion and influence future direction. Post implementation the team is still engaged and involved to ensure we continue to derive value from the platform.
