Dear Richard,

I would like to take this opportunity to express our satisfaction with the quality of work, responsiveness and flexibility that Data Science Automation demonstrated in a recent project at our West Chester, Pennsylvania manufacturing facility. The project involved a co-development approach, where DSA provided programming services and systems integration expertise, while working side by side with one of our test engineers, both on and off-site. This key project allowed us to upgrade our obsolete DIS & PS/2 Microchannel based test systems, to state-of-the-are Windows NT 4.0 systems, indefinitely extending the life span of a significant amount of internal assets.

We had started this task almost 2 years ago on a part time basis, but simply did not have enough internal resources to complete the challenge of converting some 150 source code files from Microsoft Visual C 1.5 for DOS to the National Instruments LabWindows/CVI environment. Contracting this work to Data Science Automation freed up the resources and got the project completed professionally within a mutually acceptable timeframe.

DSA proved quite capable at adapting our input databases from Paradox 3.5 to Microsoft Access 97, modifying the National Instruments Test Executive to meet our needs, redesigning the user interface entirely, implementing the new hardware and even helping to debug our custom-built interface cards.

Now, with DSA's guidance, the new source code adheres to a single industry standard as well as our internal company standard, paving the way for increased test flexibility, smoother changes and program upgrades in the future. We are very satisfied with a job well done, and would certainly consider and recommend Data Science Automation again for future projects.

Best regards,

MEI
