Don’t Take Our Word For It. Hear What Our Customers Say
StratusPointIT was selected as our IT Service Provider offering a secure, cost effective and simple solution to our complex IT needs. The 100% cloud based solution we chose is a perfect fit for our entire team. It provides safe and fast access to all company data and email regardless of location. As a financial firm we are required to adhere to strict compliance rules and regulations with a focus on data/email archiving, protection and retention. StratusPointIT provided us a solution that met all those requirements and offered the peace of mind!
We engaged StratusPointIT to help us ensure our Amazon Web Service deployment was always available and properly protected. The StratusPointIT team helped us understand and overcome the risks, and showed us best practices and cost savings that we took advantage of. We are happy with the result.
We outsourced the business of running our network to StratusPointIT. The wide variety of expertise they bring to our company not only in running the existing network but in the telecom area, planning for growth and budgeting has been a tremendous asset. Our company is no longer reacting to adverse network issues; instead we are in a proactive mode of operations. I’m very pleased with our decision to outsource to StratusPointIT.
We chose StratusPointIT in October 2010 as our outsourced information technology provider. We were looking for a company that would serve as a true business partner with us as we continue to grow our business. In addition to replacing our front office system we moved our headquarters location last year. The team at StratusPointIT served as a tremendous resource as we selected a new internet service provider, new phone system provider and moved our servers to a new location. They have provided consistently good support and have become a trusted advisor.
StratusPointIT took over managing our IT and migrated our insurance firm to the ITAnyWhere Cloud platform. This has enabled us save money by not having to maintain on-premise hardware, and allowed my agents to work easily from anywhere. As a senior executive at the organization, StratusPointIT removed the IT headaches completely, and allowed me and my team to focus on my business. I would recommend ITAnyWhere Cloud to other firms in my industry.
If you are pondering on should I hire or outsource my IT department look no further than StratusPointIT. Here is a company that will keep your business technology running smoothly and continues to bring new opportunities to your business. We are extremely satisfied with StratusPointIT and all their employees, this has been the best decision and direction our company has gone, I only wish we did it years ago. They are very professional, responsive and give you everything you need to improve your business.
StratusPointIT was able to offer SCS Energy an extremely cost-effective and functional set of solutions to our rapidly changing Information Technology needs. We have been extremely pleased with the implementation process for our ITAnyWhere Cloud and Egnyte systems and look forward to continuing our long-standing successful working relationship with StratusPointIT.
Since switching to StratusPointIT outsourcing services about 2 years ago, my team was able to realize the expertise and agility of a true outsourced partner to accomplish our projects faster and get the right level of support when needed.
The decision to outsource our helpdesk and network management with StratusPointIT has been one of the largest technology victories for us. Having the team supporting our 200 users and coast to coast operation has allowed me to sleep better at night. Their assistance in opening two new regional offices as well as completing our nationwide MPLS network made the projects easy. Other than the network and server management, which is huge, having our own full time help desk resource on site at our main office as well as their ability to get hands on help into our remote locations from New Hampshire to Alaska has been key to providing the support our uses have needed.
The time had finally come for our accounting firm to overhaul our operating system & network. Though a seemingly daunting task to us, StratusPointIT seamlessly integrated our current software with the new system with minimal down time. Couple this with knowledgeable & responsive support makes StratusPointIT the right choice for us.
StratusPointIT did a great job helping us relocate near Boston. Our staff was up in running this morning without a hitch. Farkhad was a pleasure to work with and smoothly handled any of our many requests during the start-up. Liam planned the relocation project very well. The entire StratusPointIT team did a great job!
As a start-up, StratusPointIT was instrumental in getting our cloud IT infrastructure implemented and operational within a very short time frame. This allowed us to conduct business and generate revenue much faster than if we tried to do this in-house. It is a cost effective solution that does not sacrifice service or support in any way. The support is actually much better then what I had previously experienced working at large corporations. The knowledgeable staff consistently turns around service calls faster than we are all accustomed to. I am very happy with our decision to use StratusPointIT as our technology partner.
StratusPointIT’s team recently assisted us with a successful migration to a new cloud platform. They ensured a smooth, stress-free transition by efficiently ironing out any kinks we encountered as they arose. The team was organized and well managed, comprised of dedicated, accountable IT professionals. StratusPointIT is deserving of my sincerest compliments and gratitude for the great work accomplished in transitioning us to our new cloud platform.
StratusPointIT did a great job supporting our organization through an email migration to Office 365. Their team is highly dedicated and helpful. They are detail-oriented, reliable, and responsive to individual questions– no matter how big or small. We were very satisfied with the quality of their customer service and strongly recommend them!
