To Whom It May Concern:

FareStart is a non-profit company with a goal to empower and provide opportunity to individuals that are homeless and disadvantaged through culinary job training. To learn more about FareStart, please visit our web site at www.farestart.org.

We selected the Dynamics GP system in 2004. FareStart had outgrown their financial system and needed a software application that could handle complexity and growth. We moved from Tectura to The Resource Group in May of 2008. We selected The Resource Group because they were focused on providing clients strategic, responsive and superior service. It was also an added benefit to us that TRG had a Seattle-area focus that provided clients direct and in-person support with minimal travel expenses.

The actual service provided by The Resource Group has been beyond our expectations. We have worked with several of the technical staff who all encompass an excellent understanding of the Dynamics GP system including application capabilities, in-depth technical knowledge and best business practices. The TRG culture must include a strong commitment to treating their staff with respect and dignity. Every single individual we've encountered in our interactions with TRG has a passion for providing excellent service and a heartfelt investment in our success.

Sincerely,
