Testimonials
Honest feedback from our clients
What has made this collaboration with BBD such a success is the relentless dedication and maturity both sets of employees have shown in growing and fostering this relationship alongside good decision-making from senior leadership. Throughout the project, there has been candid communication and collaboration, ensuring a streamlined process, tight vision, and rapid delivery in everything from development to customer experience and project governance.
There is no way to sum up the working relationship we’ve developed with BBD over the past two years in a couple sentences. All I can say is that BBD delivered. Since integrating and customising a client servicing platform for us, BBD has enabled a complete paradigm shift in terms of workflow and efficiency for Metfriendly and without their framework and technical abilities, none of the success we’ve seen since would have been possible.
BBD has been a long-term partner with the bank, and during that time they have provided both excellent resources as well as excellent products. They are always professional and are incredibly proficient in the technology stacks. They come up with creative and efficient solutions and are overall an asset to our team.
It’s a privilege to work with a team of intuitive UX specialists that design as the customer, and not just for the customer. Their experience, intuition and considered approach ensures every single click, tap and drop down is simple and seamless.
This was a very thorough and useful investigation. While we knew it would be good – it still exceeded our expectations.
A number of years ago, when our platform was at the conceptual stage, we happened to be participating in an FCA Technical Sprint where participants were matched at random. We ended up with a BBD team member on our workstream and they turned out some spectacular work in a very short space of time. We thought to ourselves if the rest of BBD is as good as that then they’d make a great partner. The rest is history.
It has been a pleasure working with BBD as a strategic partner. They are a team of highly competent, professional technical resources with a combination of technical development and strategic skills, and have shown a great level of familiarity and skill with AWS build and run capabilities.
BBD is highly skilled in the tricky and integrated landscapes of software development, infrastructure, cloud architecture, pipeline definition, CICD optimisation (between on-prem and Cloud Native). BBD provides excellent personnel and advice to their clients.
They have always shown a strong understanding of the AWS / cloud solutions, and worked with Cell C to expose us to potential opportunities. The individual team members we work with have all provided excellent service and were willing to go beyond what was expected.
Very professional and easy to work with. Understands well how we work and has been quick to respond.
