Excellent to work with in every way. Proactively identified solutions to the problem in the initial design and the recommended solutions. Work has top-notch. Results delivered on time. Communication was excellent.

Real pleasure consulting with Kenexai to set up our company's entire data warehouse and dashboards on AWS. I will definitely be reaching out to them for future work to be done. Our project was effective and 100% achieved what I planned to do in the beginning, in a shorter time frame and with less effort than I expected.

CCR Data perform complex data migrations, we needed and extra pair of hands to restore an Oracle database and transfer the data to a Microsoft SQL database ready for our migration analysts to do their stuff. Nitesh was able to make available at short notice one of their team who was able to see the project through from start to finish. We would not hesitate in recommending or using Kenexai again and would be happy to outsource bigger projects to them in the future.

I have used RA on numerous occasions over the past 2 years, specifically with Nitesh Solanki for the delivery on PDI ETL jobs. I am very happy with him and the high level of quality work he has provided. He seems to be available all the time and works extremely hard to deliver high quality solutions.
