Working with Affiliated has been a night and day difference from our past IT vendors. Their ability to proactively resolve issues - issues our past IT Firm couldn't or wouldn't resolve - has had an immediate impact on our business and employees. Right from the start, they listened, quickly understood our primary business needs, and tailored their services to meet those needs The most significant benefit is how they quickly and efficiently respond to our employee requests by identifying and solving problems to keep us productive. They have also done a fantastic job training our teams to protect our organization and get the most out of our software solutions. And for me, Affiliated has given me back a lot of my personal and professional time so I can focus on our core business. We are very happy that we made the change to Affiliated.

The biggest benefit to our company has been the speed, professionalism, and value of the services that the Affiliated team has provided. We need our systems up and available to keep us productive - we must deliver to our customers on time. Our employees have found Affiliated's Helpdesk easier to work with and more responsive than our previous providers. Knowing that when we contact the Helpdesk, we get a technical person on the phone to help immediately is a huge benefit. Getting problems solved quickly is important and has dramatically reduced our downtime. Our management team now spends its IT time deciding on recommended turnkey options, not trying to validate solutions - and then managing to get them installed correctly. As the company executive, I get fewer issues on my desk, which allows me to focus on growing our business and supporting our customers.
