Don't Take Our Word for It — Take Theirs
"I started working with the team in 2011 when we needed wireless throughout our building. After they set us up, we gained the flexibility to use wireless devices on the warehouse floor for inventory control. Now they manage my entire business network and provide the advice I need to move my technology forward. I didn't want a person here devoted to IT — I wanted to outsource it, and having IT Support RI is perfect."
"The one that stands out most is a security incident. I found out at 4:00 on a Friday morning, and within hours a team from IT Support RI was on-site helping me figure out what happened and how to fix it — within 36 hours we were back up and running, and people in the industry can't believe how quickly we recovered. With systems as complex as ours, it's impossible to have one person who specializes in everything, and IT Support RI covers all those gaps. I don't have to worry about technology running correctly, and I highly recommend them for all your technical needs."
