One of the requirements of winning the coveted ACE Award is support from peers, clients, and partners. Winners were nominated by their peers in the industry and only the winner was announced in a blind judging.  Oombaga received many letters of support like this one from, Trudo Letchert at Galleon Resort:

“We are so happy to support your nomination at ARDA this year. Innovation is not your middle name, but your first! At Galleon, as you know, we have numerous transactions that our owners make from renting a slip in the marina to exchanging a week, or renting more time. Owners also need to book their time as well as pay maintenance fees. Your software has allowed many of these things to occur.  Now with Oombaga it’s all in one place, and it’s mobile too!”
