We had been with a competitor since our listing in 2016, and felt apprehensive about switching. However, the Automic team took care of everything, and required no involvement from us.

They handled everything diligently over a weekend, providing us with comprehensive documentation and information to update our shareholders and stakeholders. We were thrilled by the effortless nature of the entire process.
