During my interactions with WavEC Team, I found them to be independent thinkers that considered not only near term issues but also longer term strategic concerns that placed our overall approach in an appropriate context.
Francisco Garcia (Wedge, Spain)
We had a very pleasant, cooperative contact fromthe beginning until the end of the project. WavEC wasprofessional, well organised and pro-active. The turn-out of the project was beyond expectations. We certainly look forward to continue our cooperation in the future.
