We love the system.” Michael Bernstein , Ph.D., Administrator, Psychological and Social Sciences Program, Penn State Abington My colleagues were very pleased with how the system operated in our first semester. It improved management of research enormously. It also allows us to collect data systematically on how much research we are doing for the first time. Thanks!” Kenneth Kallio , Ph.D, Department of Psychology, State University of New York at Geneseo Sona Systems has greatly improved the efficiency of our office, and your customer service is excellent!” Ruth Rorem , Department of Psychology, Biola University As a new lab manager, using Sona Systems has been vital in the success of my lab.

What more could we want!
