“Our company vision went from dream to reality with Workstream Business System’s innovative guidance! The highly skilled team at Workstream took the time to understand our company’s wants, needs and processes to create a complex operating system to meet and exceed our expectations.
Our company’s efficiency and productivity has increased dramatically since we’ve implemented the new system – with the elimination of many manual tasks and increased company transparency. The new database has improved the function of our business at every level – from the individual employee to the management officials, and even allows for analytical tasks to plan for future business development. The customized search options, time tracking feature and ability to allocate tasks to other team members by the click of a button, are all components we can’t imagine doing without!
And, on top of a job well done, the customer service and attentiveness of the Workstream team made for an unbeatable experience.
Thank you Workstream Business Systems for transforming our work model from good to stellar!”

“We have been in business for nearly 20 years as a national online real estate platform and lead generator for local real estate agents and loan officers. In that time I have never come across anyone that comes close to Deena in regards to understanding a complex issue and distilling it to its most essential elements and providing solutions that are easily understood and actionable. I don’t recommend most companies as a rule which makes Deena the only one I would recommend to anyone in search of a better and faster way to achieve their goals”
“Let me start by saying, I don’t often make product recommendations. This is because my standards for systems we use within our business are very high. WorkStream and Deena Englander exceeded my expectations and I would recommend them to anyone looking to streamline their office operations.
Our Company was transitioning from a paper system to a paperless system that involved 15 employees working in the system daily. There were many moving parts, and a need to coordinate a smooth transition to the new system, and to educate staff on its use.
Deena sat down with us in consultation and learned the entire process and the part it played in our company operations.
She then proposed a database system to replace our paper system. Within a few weeks she delivered a prototype, and we were testing the database. I personally contacted Deena several times per day with requests for additional features and tweaks to the database, all of which were responded to in a timely fashion and to my satisfaction.
The end result has been exactly what we needed, and it is working smoothly. We are savings dozens of hours each week due to Deena’s database solution, and on the rare occasions that I require troubleshooting, she has been available to make changes or hop on my computer to diagnose the issue and quickly fix it.
As I said, I am not able to make this type of recommendation very often, but in this case, it is well-deserved.
I look forward to my next project with WorkStream.”
“If you’re feeling overwhelmed with trying to run an organization, I can’t recommend Deena enough. She’s been a great help with both the strategic and tactical levels of management. She has a knack for getting to the heart of the matter. She can help you not only improve how you manage your tasks but also give you insight into how to think about your approach as a whole. Best of all, no matter how stressed you might be feeling, a call with her calm, warm, and competent personality will leave you feeling freshly motivated, reminded you that you’ve got this.”

The Nonlinear Fund
“I was skeptical about whether a consultant could be helpful to us without their spending countless hours first trying to understand the nuances of our processes and job roles. Deena really impressed me with how quickly she got a handle on our work dynamics. She helped us map out visually where bottlenecks were choking our workflow and how we should apportion resources. She was able to propose changes to serve the bigger picture in a way that our employees so entrenched in the day-to-day couldn’t.”

“Deena really helped me realize that the way I was going about writing proposals was a time suck for my business. I was spending about 2-3 hours pouring myself into what I thought was a highly customized process that I couldn’t avoid. With her help, I’ve automated this process and drastically cut down the amount of time I spend on proposals while still crafting meaningful ones for my clients.”

Bring The Gym To Me
We operate a consulting business that is heavily driven by data and we are required to analyze the equivalent of hundreds of pages of information. The smartest move we made was to hire Deena. She has implemented a CRM that has been tailored in a way that allows to generate analysis reports in the blink of an eye, where before it would take us hours upon hours. She continue to work with us and helps us fine tune our workflow, and our office has been more efficient and has benefited greatly from Deena’s service!
