Client Spotlight
“We are pleased to have selected Orion as our Financial Management software system. During our decision making process, we put multiple vendors through the gauntlet in order to figure out which software would best serve our needs. In the end, the decision to choose Orion was a unanimous one. This came from not only our evaluation team, but from all the attorneys, paralegals and secretaries we invited to see the final demonstrations. Orion deserves tremendous credit for patiently answering question after question and meeting challenge after challenge. They know their system backwards and forwards and carefully listened to our questions while showing us how Orion would handle each question or situation.” – Ted Soto, Executive Director at Goodman Allen & Filetti PLLC
