What Our Customers Say

It has been a real pleasure working with Imaginative Software over the past year for a programme of work within the NHS focusing on workforce for children and young people’s emotional wellbeing and mental health.

The team’s passion, flexibility and desire for high standards of work have been inspirational.

Chris was a critical asset in implementing remote software upgrades to our network of clients without the need for involving third-party localised technicians.

This enabled our clients to continue normal working practices without disruption, whilst saving us substantial time and unnecessary expense.

Chris Williams is a huge asset to Cube. He is a knowledgeable and reliable central point for all our IT needs. He possesses an innovative and speedy approach to problem solving, efficiently producing solutions to the sort of problems that have defeated others.
