I had the pleasure of working with Bent during our Routemaster project delivery to Trafikanten. Bent acted as a professional Project Manager and was instrumental in the success of the overall project. A perfect partner for a technology provider to discuss complex, development issues with.

Bent is the most process oriented person I have met. Bent is also a Internett Visionary that predicts technologies a few years ahead of others and he lives and breathes for these technologies knowing them inside out. Recommended.
