Testimonials

“I worked with Bojan at a time when Pexim were taking the concepts of IBM's Information Framework for Banking and turning them into real BI products to take to market. The true testament to Bojan's effectiveness in managing this process was the speed in which these products were developed and their successful take up within and beyond Pexim's banking client base. Bojan's innate understanding of what really matters to his clients, and his ability to translate this in to real world BI solutions is an invaluable quality, which he demonstrated continually throughout the period I worked with him. Furthermore, Bojan is an extremely personable fellow and I very much enjoyed working with him during this period.”
