“PKP’s response from the support team and training sessions to help us troubleshoot and learn how to make the most of our OJS install have been such a breath of fresh air for my team! We are a small operation and have recently brought on new team members, so the efficiency and clarity of PKP’s service and support have been invaluable.”
