"We found that TransFuse could be easily integrated into our current and future product offerings as well as our previously installed customer systems," said Brad Rhodes, vice president and director of technologies of Hamilton and Sullivan. "Because TransFuse works with so many different types of platforms and technologies, we will save a great deal of time and resources during the development and deployment of our products."
