Client Testimonials

SCS has helped hundreds of clients solve business problems and meet strategic objectives since our inception in 1997. Working alongside our clients has allowed us to build valued relationships that have endured long after the engagement is over.

Here's what our clients are saying:

“We have worked with SCS on two projects. Team SCS’ methods for defining an application that met our users’ requirements were a key factor in choosing SCS. In both projects, the results have exceeded expectations, and with detailed weekly invoicing, I always know where my project budget stands.”

Clint Andera

Information Systems Director, Northern Star Council

“Our work with SCS enabled us to consolidate admissions data from three different systems and connect that data with information from yet another set of three different career placement systems. The ability to bring all that data together, look at trends, compare performance year-to-year and perform adhoc investigations enables us to make fact-based decisions to improve performance in the future.”

Jason Reusch

Captain, Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management

“We are so happy to have SCS as our network maintenance and support provider. We have partnered with SCS since the beginning of 2010. As a small business, we don’t have our own IT staff. However, we have come to think of our SCS consultant as one of our own. If we have a problem or emergency, he is there almost instantly to help find solutions. They have gone above and beyond in working with us—from helping research and test new software products to making recommendations about how we can operate more efficiently and achieve our goals in a cost-effective manner. SCS has been there for us, contributing greatly to our growth and success.”

Jenny Smith

“SCS employees are focused. In both short- and long-term engagements they listen and perform with proven technology solutions. We most certainly consider SCS and their consultants as strategic partners in our success and growth.”

Former CIO

Ryan Companies

“The expertise provided by SCS allowed us to efficiently handle the large volume of data required for our reporting needs. This solution has increased client satisfaction and given us a competitive edge.”

Steven Johnson

CTO/VP of Product Development, SearchAmerica

“In the midst of completing a major change to our data capture, a key programmer on the project encountered a serious health issue, requiring us to seek immediate help to keep our Health Billing Systems operational. Fortunately, the SCS team was able to partner with us to get us through this three-week crisis. Thanks again to SCS and your team for working with us during this critical time.”

Allen Tank

CEO, Health Billing Systems, Inc.

“SCS has been our IT development partner since 2007. Team SCS brings the highest quality developers and project managers to the process. The quality solutions developed by SCS have become core applications for our operations.”

Clint Andera

Information Systems Director, Northern Star Council, BSA

“Having used SCS twice, I continue to be pleased with the people and expertise they bring to the table. They comfortably worked to meet the challenging delivery demands of our BI project, including two-week release cycles. With their no-nonsense sales approach, they successfully match our needs with their skills. Bottom line, SCS has set expectations and is hitting their marks.”

John Bredesen

Director, Information Technology, Minco Products

“We partnered with SCS to help us assess our current situation, then recommend short- and long-term priorities for both infrastructure and staffing. We have made great strides in shoring up our IT services over the last few months. Much of that can be attributed to the excellent guidance and customer service that SCS provided. SCS has really demonstrated a commitment to our success and we thank them.”

Mark Sonneborn

VP of IT, Minnesota Continuum Care Association

“Thanks to SCS, we have a dynamic data migration tool for our ERP to help us migrate from Oracle to SQL Server. Our data migration challenge is significant with more than 10,000 tables, ~2TB data volumes and data definition changes. The tool SCS developed to automatically create SSIS packages to migrate individual tables and the control program they created to allow us to control the number of parallel executions have both proven to work out great. We are one step closer to a successful ERP upgrade.”

Ken Jensen

VP of IT, Nilfisk-Advance

“We were having multiple performance issues with the nightly load of data into our warehouse and did not have resources available on staff to address this. SCS helped us improve error handling resulting in reduced errors and disruptions. They were also instrumental in helping to plan and execute an upgrade to SQL 2014. The senior technical resource they provided was top notch and our resources had the chance to learn from him. While SCS was working on those projects we had a couple major disruptions impacting our data warehouse. They did not hesitate to jump in and help us, even on weekends, to resolve the issue and restore service as quickly as possible. All this in addition to the services they were already providing us. Restaurant Technologies values our relationship with SCS as they have become one of our trusted partners.”

Sara Prigge

IT Service Desk Manager, Restaurant Technologies

“Thank you to the Superior Consulting Services team for the excellent service and assistance on our most recent projects. The last two projects we have worked on with Superior have been an outstanding experience from thought-to-delivery. As you celebrate your 20^th anniversary it has been a privilege for the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board to have been the first SCS customer in April 1997 and a continuous customer for the past 20 years.”

Adam Larson

Director of IT Services, Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board

“Superior Consulting Services quickly understood our needs and was extremely attentive and responsive throughout the process. Open communication between our teams led to a successful outcome. The end solution SCS developed works very well and has been very helpful during system upgrades. Benefits include peace of mind and complete cloning of the data environment enabling reporting at all times.”

Son Stegmaier

Associate Director Business Intelligence & Reporting

“Working with SCS has been a pleasure. Our consultant is a technical genius, and I haven’t yet come up with an idea that he can’t implement. He can assess project viability and timelines immediately, and help clients weigh their options. Best of all, he is adept at translating technical information into “plain English” so that end user clients can understand any challenges they may encounter or decisions they need to make. Within a month, SCS helped me get a handle on a project that I wasn’t sure was even possible. I’d work with them again in a heartbeat.”

Elizabeth A. Varro

Membership Manager, Science Museum of Minnesota

“SCS helped jump start our data warehouse and reporting initiative by working with our team to install and configure Microsoft SQL Reporting Services. By providing reporting and data mining tools to the end user, we were able to extend the life on applications that do not provide robust internal reporting functionality.”

Jennifer Fall

CIO, Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare

“SCS has been a big help to us. As a medical device company, we need to plan and execute quickly and correctly, especially in IT. SCS provided our IT department with excellent people to help with a particular technology introduction. They wrote and tested code, wrote documentation, implemented procedures and trained our staff—and we all had fun doing it. Technically sharp, enjoyable to work with and dependable, SCS’ consultants were an important part of that project’s success. We will absolutely use them again.”

Former IT Manager

Minnetronix, Inc.

“I have used SCS through three distinct businesses over the last seven years on various-sized projects. I have found their resources to be of high caliber, very focused and dedicated to my needs, pragmatic in their solution approach, and very knowledgeable in their craft. They are excellent people that focus on my problem at hand.”

Former Application Development Manager

UCare Minnesota

“Recently I required some expert assistance to address computer (database) issues caused by a remote network connection with a major client. On the surface, it appeared to be a simple fix but after spending numerous hours trying to rectify the issue myself and after contacting a local firm to assist, the problems remained. I was referred to SCS and what a nice customer experience—all my issues were addressed and corrected but more importantly, it was their consultant’s demeanor that stood out. It’s far too easy to complain when things are not done or addressed properly but for some reason, difficult to complement someone when just the opposite takes place. I would be remiss not to thank SCS for their help resolving my issue. I strongly endorse SCS and their team.”

Tim Loden

Managing Member, TL Advantage, LLC

“We have worked with SCS for over 10 years. They have been instrumental in allowing us to access vital information from disparate systems in a meaningful way. Without SCS’s assistance, several projects would have either taken longer or not have been done at all.”

Chris Waterbury

IT Director, MacPhail Center for Music

“SCS has been our guiding light in our efforts to establish and grow a Business Intelligence platform. We knew we wanted to utilize a MS-SQL solution for BI and we found that SCS has actually written the book for this environment. Their resources have taught us what we need to know to maintain and grow the platform with minimal outside assistance. They do a great job in making sure their customer owns the solution.”

Tim Hau

CIO, CURT Manufacturing LLC

“We engaged SCS with a project need for a DBA to validate and optimize our database foundation in support of our custom developed .NET application. We had a tight timeframe and even tighter budget, so we were delighted to have a great SCS BI consultant assigned to our project. He was able to learn our complex business model and work his magic under budget, exceeding my expectations in regards to on-time, on-target delivery.”

Deb

Business Analyst

“We partnered with SCS to better understand key metrics and relationships, which enables us to be more effective stewards of the donors’ gift. This partnership helps advance our mission to save lives and offer hope and healing through excellence in organ and tissue donation.”

Peter D. Farstad

Chief Administrative Officer, LifeSource

“Superior Consulting has been indispensable in helping us conduct database development in Tessitura. They have helped us with report writing and report conversions, done SQL scripting for data cleansing and transformation, created custom business intelligence and data warehousing, and designed Tessitura customizations for member and donor benefit tracking and fulfillment. In addition, they have conducted server setup and configuration for a high availability cluster for SQL server and a SharePoint server environment. They know how to combine their IT expertise with our business needs and help us come to the best possible solution for the problem at hand. It has been a pleasure working with them.”

Joel Miles

Director of IT, Science Museum of Minnesota

“I wanted to get back to you to thank you for having your consultant call me last Tuesday. It was exactly what I needed to help me navigate to where I needed to be to fix the issue. The SCS consultant filled the bill and we were back on track relatively quickly.

So THANK YOU for making that happen so quickly and for all the great people you have over at SCS.

SCS – one in a million!”

David Seffren

Vice President Information Technology, Dental Services Group

“Hartfiel initially engaged Superior (SCS) seven years ago to administer and further develop our database. Given the quality of the work performed, we continued and expanded our relationship with SCS to several key ongoing applications and data & analytics projects.They are professional, timely in their responses, and flexible when unexpected issues surface. We expect that we will continue to collaborate with them on future project needs.”
