BASDA is our \u2018go to\u2019 for all things UK business software compliance and our membership ensures we can remain confident we are providing the best service possible to our clients. The events are insightful and we value our interactions and the BASDA expertise shared.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#f5f5f5″ background_position=”top_left” custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_testimonial author=”Kevin Misselbrook” company_name=”Access UK” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Keeping ahead of legislation and it\u2019s interpretation is a significant challenge for all software vendors. BASDA enables us to have influence on legislation as it emerges, with engagement at the highest level. We also have the benefit of being able to work collectively with other BASDA members on interpretation of regulation \u2013 which saves us many days per year.<\/p>\n
