“The transition to RPM PHP was virtually seamless. RPM PHP ran side by side with Zend during the transition. Thanks to a utility provided by Seiden Group, we knew exactly which extensions we needed before we even began. Seiden Group quickly built an additional extension for us, long before our goal to go live!”
