I have always found the client reporting provided by Advance by Embark to be second to none. This has also been echoed by some of my clients who use this platform, which is interesting as I have never had positive feedback from clients regarding reporting on other platforms we use. I have always been impressed with the first class service and support provide to me, in particular from my Business Account Manager – Scott Clarke, and my Platform Adoption Consultant James Taylor
