With our old system I was always thinking ‘Will I be able to get hold of this information?’; with CCH Central, I know I can. Changing software suppliers after such a long time can be a painful process but things are so much better now, so I’ve no regrets. In fact, I’d say it’s the best business decision I have made.”
