	Feedback
	“The feedback on the project has been very positive. The people that Russell Associates provided fit in very nicely with the environment. Our employees trusted them. Each group that came in that worked with representatives from Russell felt very comfortable with the product and very comfortable in sharing their knowledge with someone outside the company so it was a very successful project. I think we were very efficient with our time and very successful with the project."
