to customer need. Customers where having difficulty completing
the process of downloading, extracting, and installing software
and drivers, so the Automatic Driver Download enhancement
allowed the installation to be automatically started after
the download was complete. This nearly doubled the user success
rate of printer driver installations and added service that
exceeded anything ever seen on competitor web sites, as well
as the Internet in general.

“Catalyst delivers timely work that is intuitive and effective; we don't have to catch every single potential issue, as they often bring potential problems and solutions to us without our having to ask. Catalyst is flexible enough to deliver the requested scope of work on our projects even among changing requirements. They provide first rate customer service, which we have found lacking in other software development companies and their communication skills are top notch. They understand the real world, how our business operates within the real world and can speak towards the big picture and not just technology; we actually understand what they're saying when they talk to us. Overall, Catalyst is an absolute pleasure to work with; over the years they have raised our expectations of what programmers can do.
