“RPI brought in senior people that our folks related to and were able to work with easily. Their folks have been approachable, they listen to us, and they have been responsive to our questions – and when we see things we want to do a little differently, they have listened and figured out how to make it happen. “

They brought in expertise to provide solutions to business problems, thought leadership for our long term strategic planning, and they help us make sure we are implementing new initiatives in an order that doesn’t create problems in the future. RPI has been a God-send. “
