"The cystic fibrosis unit at Great Ormond Street hospital provides comprehensive specialist care to approximately 200 children with cystic fibrosis. Our association with Advent IT began in 1995 with the development of a clinical & research database, to store patient data, query / report and produce clinical letters and reports. Since then two major upgrades have been undertaken to further develop and tailor the database to our specific requirements. As well as upgrading the database, the team at Advent IT have always provided us with support and technical help, responding to our queries in a timely manner and with the utmost sensitivity and professionalism. It has been a pleasure to work with Ian and the team at Advent IT and we look forward to this continuing for many more years."

- S. Ammani Prasad FCSP, Research Physiotherapist, Great Ormond Street Hospital, UK

"The whole team at Advent IT has been fantastic to work with on developing the web-based National Health Promotion in Hospitals Audit (NHPHA). They are always very professional and friendly, providing excellent guidance on how the solution can best be developed within our limited budget. We, and participants in the audit, are very pleased with how well the NHPHA data entry system works. We look forward to continued work with Ian, Leo and Matt on further development of the NHPHA."

- Dr Charlotte Haynes, Research & Projects Lead/Management Fellow, National Health Promotion in Hospitals Audit, UK

"The NHSC is a health research unit based in the University of Birmingham. We had a vital business requirement to upgrade our databases to cope to the increased volume and complexity of our work.. Advent IT were recommended to us and they haven’t let us down, developing and tailoring an information system that meets our needs. Advent IT have been professional and extremely helpful throughout and I look to forward to continuing to work with Ian and his team in the future."

"Our unit provides an internationally renowned genetic screening service for retinoblastoma at Barts and The London NHS Trust. We needed software to enable us to record our patient information and to audit our sensitive service data, in this very specialist field of molecular genetics. Advent IT provided us with the software system we neeeded to store our patient data, query and report in a secure and trackable environment. They had no difficulty in interpreting our complex needs and provided us with a database with excellent menus and searching tools in a very user friendly interface. We found them so helpful and responsive that we have asked them to develop further modules for our database."

- Dr Zerrin Onadim, Head of Retinoblastoma Genetic Screening Unit, Barts and The London NHS Trust

"There are several comments that are regularly heard in conversations regarding Ian and Advent-It. They are, but are not limited to, Trustworthy, Honest (to a fault), Good Value, Genuine, and Professional. Ian is one of those rare people who crosses the boundaries between being a technically brilliant Software Developer and all-round IT guy, and yet is extremely professional and level headed in front of a customer. He is very easy to get on with, and I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Advent-IT to any company."

- Glenn Smith, Software Developer, Northgate Information Solutions

"Advent IT was commissioned for a high profile and complex project. Their performance was exemplary and the project would not have been a success without their considerable contribution. I look forward to working with Advent IT again."

- Lee Sims, IT Community Leader, AEA Technology

"In my dealings with Ian on complex projects during the last 3 years, I have found him to be an excellent developer who is able to communicate both orally and in the written word, clear explanations of his work. He works with courtesy and professionalism and develops quality software which is reliable and fit for purpose and most importantly, delivered on time and to budget. I look forward to the opportunity of working with him again and I eagerly commend him and Advent IT to other project managers."

- Agrippina Cutuli, IT Project Manager, Knowledge Transfer Partnerships

"Ian took the time to learn about our business and how we implement projects which was a breath of fresh air, as this enabled Advent IT to create a reporting system that was tailored to what we were looking for in the way of an immediate solution but one that could also be scaled up as we grew."

- Damon Lightley, Chief Operating Officer, Site Visibility
