Fredrik Malmberg “BEGOMA SPEDITION AB”“Very Professional”

Michael Keane “USRES”“I find that Diatom employees are very

professional and very hardworking. They are always able to provide a technical solution to

any issues that should arise.”

Katherine Wu “USRES”“I have been working with Diatom now for several years on all our major projects, and have found them to be very professional,

knowledgeable, and timely. The communication has been exceptional, with the team quickly grasping our requirements, even

when our requirements are extremely complicated or require a great deal of industry

knowledge. I would highly recommend Diatom, as they have been a key player in the

success of all our projects.”

Shawn Ostheimer “TAC”“We enjoy our relationship with Diatom. They

have great expertise in the technology, but more importantly they understand business

and how to leverage technology to make business more successful.”

Crystal Nguyen “Usres QA Engineer”“It's always a pleasure to work with the

developers at Diatom. Whenever I have a question or issue that needs to be resolved, they always respond in a timely manner and are very professional as well as easy to work

with; which was always comforting from a QA perspective.”

Satya Kalidindi “RealtyTrac”“Diatom resources have so much back ground knowledge about Realtytrac projects and they

are very knowledgeable and hardworking. They are very reliable with respect to timelines and tasks on hand. At the same note, there is

always room for improvement.”
