We’ve been happy with Backstage as well. We used them with our old system and are gearing up to have them do RDA conversion and authority control now that we’re in Evergreen.

I used Backstage a few years ago for an authorities cleanup, I can confirm that they do good work -- I was very pleased with their results & thoroughness. They've done several other Evergreen systems so they're comfortable with its ins-and-outs.
