    Installation/Configuration a breeze! Need to learn new APIs.

    May 31, 2017
    IBM's on-premise support personnel were able to assist our developers in quickly implementing their product. There were new APIs that were unfamiliar to the developers and IBM helped them through generating new code and turning it as needed. We did not need any help installing/configuring the actual product... it was simple!
