"The Gray team overcame the challenges that our site (and the weather) presented, and as our requirements evolved, managed smoothly through the numerous changes to the project. I sincerely believe the project would not have been ready for production without your commitment and dedication to helping Mercedes-Benz achieve our delivery goals."
