  8. Partners Hi Bradley -- I’m Software Development Manager at Bath Spa University in the UK. I wanted to share our experience of Orchard with you as we’ve been using it since Christmas and are just about to release our first production system. We decided to take the risk of using an unreleased version of your code as we’ve been so impressed with the functionality and quality of the code written. We already use MVC and were easily able to integrate our code modules.Orchard has revolutionised the way we develop and empowers our support staff to make their own changes. Thanks to you and your team for an excellent product, can’t wait to see how it develops in the future. I’ll let you know how our student accommodation system pans out when we go live in May Regards Keith Dancey Bath Spa University PRINCE2 Practitioner ISEB Certified Business Analyst
