“I couldn’t be happier with Valence and what it has done to bring the enormous efficiencies to MBI that I envisioned years ago, while reducing the company’s dependence on RPG developers. And to top it all off, during these many years of using Valence the people at CNX have been, and continue to be, a real pleasure to work with. They respond quickly to my questions, and they have always been open to my suggestions for enhancing the capabilities of Valence; in fact, several of these suggestions have been added to new releases of the product.”
“These are the best people I have ever worked with when it comes to software vendors, and I’ve been doing IT in the IBM i space for 28 years. They’ve always come through for me, and they are always there to help should I need it. Plus, CNX has always been receptive to my suggestions for enhancing their products. In fact, there have been several times when I have said to them, ‘boy it would be nice if I was able to do such and such’ and then that feature appears in new releases of Valence. And they deliver a new release every few months, they don’t sit still at all.”
“We and our customers are highly experienced IBM i application developers, and the transition to developing Valence apps was extraordinarily smooth, delivering highly attractive modern UI apps with powerful functionality. Valence has the developer spectrum very cleverly covered offering Nitro App Builder producing good looking substantial business logic apps very quickly in response to changing business needs, then more advanced full UI control capabilities for power apps like Order Entry, etc. Since introducing our major clients to Valence we’ve developed hundreds of apps and haven’t looked back, very much appreciating CNX’s highly supportive team who responds quickly to all our queries and needs.”
“Our developers like Valence best because they saw that it’s a very open framework. It has the latest technology in the back end. It’s a business framework, really.”
“We’re selling to a company that sells to the homeowner, and we make a lot of marketing funds available to our customers who are not the homeowners. They’re required to submit receipts, pictures of their displays, and everything that they did if they want to make claims on those funds. CNX wrote an app that allows customers to see their available funds, what they have left, any pending claims — all that type of stuff — and then submit a claim.”
“I’ve been very happy with everything, very happy with the application and their continuous improvement of it. I’ve been happy with the guys we deal with. They do a lot of consulting work for us, writing applications, and I’ve had a really good experience with those interactions. We’ve attended training from CNX and were really happy with that too. The usability of our systems is much improved, and we’re seeing real time savings, especially with our new purchase order workflow application.”
“Their quality is outstanding. When you put in Valence, that’s the best installer. Once you run their install, that thing is ready to go. It’s absolutely brilliant, and they include sample apps. When I was first learning, they had so many example apps out there with source code. I could go look at an app they had as samples, go look at the code and how it worked, and that’s what really got me down the road.”
“The connection to the back end, to the IBM i, has been rock solid since I started using this. I’ve never had a problem with that, so I’ve been super impressed with that. I’ve looked at the code for the service programs to understand what they did, and I was really impressed. Very much so. The technical aspect of the company is rock solid.”
“I’m very satisfied with the product. And if I needed to choose again, I think I would make the same choice. It’s fast, it works like a charm, and we can customize almost everything. And the guys are very willing – if there’s some customization you want and it’s not there, they investigate it, and sometimes they even add it to the base product. We’re working pretty closely with them, and that’s a big plus.”
“CNX really makes it easy to do business with them. When we need something, they find a way to help us. They’re very resourceful and crazy smart, experts at using technology to deliver a solid final product. The fact that Valence is low code/no code makes it so much simpler for our legacy programmers to build web applications quickly without deep web knowledge. We’ve created hundreds of apps with it, and it’s rock solid. It works for customers as small as five users to over 200, and it works well in all those environments.”
“I can speak my business language, say ‘this is what I need,’ and they just do it. I never have to learn their lingo, they make it happen. They’ve helped us automate so many things that have made us better and more efficient. For us, it’s 100% about automation and efficiency, and CNX has delivered on that every time.”
“CNX are excellent at what they do, as someone who was taught to tell the truth from a young age I feel like I deal with people who share that same value. They are the best partner I have ever had the privilege of working with in my extensive career, always innovating, adding new features like Nitro App Builder to help make the transition to web dev more accessible by taking away the complexity of coding web apps. For the outlay Valence gives huge value for money and we get to work with great people, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them. “
