Reduced development time by eliminating custom UI workarounds
Faster issue resolution with 24-hour support response times
Improved productivity across consulting engagements
Introduction
Clarity Associates is a California-based technical consulting firm founded in 2007. The company provides specialized software and technical consulting services to other businesses, supporting a wide range of development needs. Rick Berger, COO of Clarity Associates, oversees technology decisions and focuses on selecting reliable tools that enable efficient development, long-term sustainability, and dependable vendor support.
Problem Summary
Before adopting Syncfusion, Clarity Associates relied on generally available HTML controls and tools provided through Visual Studio, which frequently lacked the advanced features required for complex consulting projects. Many third-party controls required extensive workarounds and time-consuming custom code, often without delivering the desired results even after significant effort. These limitations slowed development, increased frustration, and made it difficult to consistently meet client expectations while maintaining efficient workflows.
“Whenever I send in a ticket on a weekday, I get my answer within 24 hours. Just as importantly, I always feel like the feedback I get from the support staff is dedicated to addressing my ticket specifically. I never get rote answers.”
– Rick Berger, COO, Clarity Associates.

Implementation

When challenges arose during development, Rick Berger relied heavily on Syncfusion’s support ticketing system. Support responses were consistently delivered within one business day and included targeted guidance, relevant code samples, and direct references to documentation or examples tailored to the exact problem. This approach allowed Clarity Associates to test and validate solutions quickly, minimizing downtime and maintaining project momentum.

The combination of feature-rich controls and dependable support reduced risk, simplified development, and allowed the firm to focus on delivering high-quality solutions to clients without concern over tool limitations or vendor instability.
