“KlearSky not only provides technical expertise to assist in implementing complex applications, but equally important they have the kind of “people skills” that can calm troubled waters. When implementing complex projects, sometimes the most important quality a consultant brings to the table is a quiet sense of confident assurance. That’s what KlearSky provides. They are easy to work with. They deliver what they promise.”

“I was very impressed and pleased with the work that KlearSky did in guiding us as a member of a consortium for our Tessitura integration, and also individually for website integration management. Ivan and his team made what was a large and potentially stressful project manageable, easy to understand, and most importantly successful. Kudos to KlearSky for great work!”

“KlearSky helped organize and guide us through a complete conversion of our patron management system--which at first appeared to be quite a daunting task for us. KlearSky's guidance helped keep the conversion project on track, and helped minimize "false starts" and "backtracking" that might otherwise have occurred without their experience."

"KlearSky consultants brought a number of strengths to the table for our Tessitura implementation: they have strong project management skills, deep knowledge of the Tessitura application, and they are easy to work with. Plus, they were diligent about keeping within our budget for both the implementation and their services—which is imperative for a small company such as ours."

“KlearSky provided excellent consulting work for The Cleveland Orchestra. Their combination of superb project management skills and understanding of the Tessitura application enabled us to meet our goals. Replacing our separate ticketing and development systems with Tessitura is no easy task especially in the very tight timeframe we required. We are very happy with KlearSky and highly recommend them to anyone wishing to implement Tessitura in their organization.”
