Client Feedback - Ekberg Stucco, Inc. Ekberg Stucco Inc., a Christian owned and operated stucco business initially required a website redesign to enhance their image to potential customers and businesses alike.

This system would track all aspect of their business, allowing them a centralized tool for all their business needs, saving them time and money. Q:  How did you come about working with Strategic Data Alliance Consulting, Inc.? A:  "Strategic Data Alliance Consulting was recommended to us by one of our Vice Presidents who went to church with its owner, Shawn Thompson." Q:  Tell us about your experience with Strategic Data Alliance Consulting, Inc. A:  "We had the privilege to work directly with SDAC’s owner. What pleased and reassured us initially was how quickly Shawn became versed with the construction industry and how diligent he was in making sure that his vision for our company was exactly the same as our own vision. This continues today to be the very basis of our mutual alliance." Q:  Why did you choose Strategic Data Alliance Consulting, Inc. to assist you in your development needs? A:  "From the time of our initial meeting, we were all very impressed with SDAC. Shawn was honest, realistic and straight forward; there was no ‘salesmanship’ involved. Much of our time was spent with Shaw asking comprehensive questions about our industry, our company’s place in the industry and the specific direction we wanted to take our company. I had my staff speak to 3 other companies whom SDAC had completed work for. Each of the companies were diverse in nature, operated in totally different industries and all 3 praised SDAC’s consulting alliances they each possessed." Q:  How did the experience go? A:  "Our experience with SDAC has far exceeded our original expectations. Being in the construction industry, and in every sense of the word “techno-phoebes”, our initial feelings about working closely with a turn-key IT Company were both uninviting and terrifying to say the least. Those feelings however, were very short lived. Immediately we were made an intricate and indispensable part of the entire process. They took ‘our’ words and ideas and transformed them into an impressive, highly sophisticated, automated, working system that has placed us light years beyond our competition. This has been a wonderful experience for our entire staff and company." Q:  Based on the nature of your work required, were they able to satisfy your needs? A:  "Companies in the construction industry, large and small, have remained fragmented and archaic for 50 years. We knew there was a better way to efficiently conduct business and significantly cut operating costs at the same time. We gave SDAC, what we thought to be, an impossible task. We asked them to create a database that would tie every detail of our day-to-day business together into one, fully automated system; and they delivered that and more." Q:  What feature or features about the personnel and/or the service provided to you like most, and least? A:  "We were treated as if we were the most important client they ever had. Without fail, day or night, they were always there for us. They kept every promise and fulfilled every commitment. In fact, we credit the efficiency and sophistication of our database to them constantly challenging us to 'Think out of the box'." Q:  Would you recommend Strategic Data Alliance Consulting, Inc. to others, and do you plan to work with them in future endeavors? A:  "Our database is completely changing the way we conduct every aspect of our business. SDAC has been an absolute joy and pleasure to work with. As our company continues to grow and change, Strategic Data Alliance Consulting will remain an integral part of it for years to come." Q:  Any final words for others? A:  "We highly recommend Shawn Thompson’s Strategic Data Alliance Consulting to anyone who wants to be part of the 21st century." Daniel A. Ekberg President/Owner Ekberg Stucco, Inc.
