November 2003

What our customers are saying...

"We looked at a variety of defect-tracking and issue-management software before settling on Visual Intercept. It wouldn't be enough to only say that we've never regretted that decision- any time I think about it I'm thankful we chose VI. We went from tracking defects on paper forms to using VI, and the difference was like trading in a pogo stick for a Ferrari."
