Glenn Bernstein, Chief Operating Officer/Temporary Division at The Execu|Search Group, had this to say about ABD, “My firm’s partnership with ABD began nearly 17 years ago. As we’ve grown, so have they and so has our supportive partnership. The response from Terri, John and the entire ABD team has always been first rate. As a true service partner, ABD has worked with us to customize the Ultra-Staff and back office products to suit our growing business needs – and has rolled out some of our suggestions to all their users – which we entirely support. There will always be other systems out there with some new bell or whistle – but the consistent support and availability of ABD is unmatched. Congrats on 35 years and we look forward to continuing to build our businesses together.”

Adela Gonzalez, Chief Executive Officer at Future Force Personnel Services, commented, “ABD has been with Future Force since our inception 25 years ago.   They were instrumental in setting up our systems when we first opened our doors.   They have customized and helped us with our growing pains, and due to their knowledge and amazing staff, we have been able to supply our customers with their required needs.    Terri – you have built a solid organization, always looking out for your customers and their needs.  Being ahead of the curve always!  Congratulations on your 35th – we could not have done it without you.”
