GenCare

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of operations at AC Depuyd, Inc. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with GenCare?

We needed help with managed IT services. Our old server was almost nine years old when we got rid of it. There was a definite increase in speed. We also needed the increase so that we could use a bigger suite of software packages. Our old solution was getting bogged down by SQL. We went with a much more robust machine that could handle the SQL queries.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

For the server migration, GenCare came out to find out what our needs were. We gave them information about what we were trying to do with the server. The team then worked up a couple of different solutions for us. One was a physical server, and the other was a cloud server. We discussed the two options and talked it over with the owner. We decided to go with the physical server.

Once we made the decision, it was a matter of ordering the server and getting it started. GenCare came in to do the installation and all the data migration. It didn’t take long, and we didn’t see any downtime.

So far, GenCare has helped us with IT managed services, including Outlook 365 and Exchange server. The team has also set up our domain controller. GenCare has also assisted us with server migration. We’ve discussed cybersecurity in the past, and GenCare has helped us with that as well.

What is the team composition?

We mainly work with Mauricio and Jeff, alongside many other teammates from GenCare. 

How did you come to work with GenCare?

We chose them because they were highly recommended. They knew what they were doing. When we saw the quote, it made perfect sense.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent $200,000–$250,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in August 2014, and it’s ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

We’ve noticed a difference in speed. 

How did GenCare perform from a project management standpoint?

GenCare is great with communication. They break down the projects by line items. We know where every dollar is going. The team delivers on time and on budget. We email them, and they put it in their ticketing system.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Jeff has been great.

What did you find most impressive about them?

GenCare delivers what we expect. They’re extremely strong. They’ve helped other customers. We see it as a win-win because they can work with our software people. There’s a nice transfer of data, and we never skip a beat.

We like that GenCare doesn’t require us to sign a contract for the entire year. If something breaks, we call them, and they come out and fix it. We appreciate that they work with that kind of model.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I wish their monthly server management service were less expensive.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

If you’re looking to get your project done on time and on budget and want clear and concise communication, give GenCare a call. They’ve always pleased us with what they’ve done.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

GenCare helped us set up our Microsoft email structure and provided IT support since we didn’t have an in-house IT team.

The team ensured that the three software solutions were merged and connected correctly to run our daily operations.

What is the team composition?

We worked with a project manager, three teammates for Outlook integration, and two customer support specialists for troubleshooting.

How did you come to work with GenCare?

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of operations at Premier World Discovery, a tour operator based in Los Angeles that offers organized group travel worldwide.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with GenCare?

We needed help with IT tasks, maintenance, and structure in terms of upgrading and maintaining our systems. We also needed ongoing support.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Initially, we were re-evaluating some aspects of our IT infrastructure and exploring whether we could scale up GenCare’s support to our growing needs and business. We reached out to them to see what they could offer, and they provided us with information based on some qualifying questions. They also looked at some of the items we had previously worked with them on and provided a number of solutions for us to choose from.

Since then, GenCare has provided general recommendations on the best practices for using software and hardware. Most of the projects are handled remotely.

What is the team composition?

Our primary contact is Mauricio, who is our account manager. We’ve also met Jeff, who handles customer service, and Charles, who is the head of technical services on GenCare's end.

How did you come to work with GenCare?

They were recommended to me by someone who had previously helped us with related services.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with GenCare in the second half of 2022, and our engagement is ongoing. Our latest project started at the beginning of 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Since the beginning, GenCare has tried to understand our needs and tailored their approach to meet them. They don’t try to push something onto us that may or may not be a good fit. Instead, they work with us to find the best solution and cover all aspects of the project. They’ve exceeded my expectations in pretty much every interaction I’ve had with them since we started working with them.

How did GenCare perform from a project management standpoint?

GenCare is very transparent and straightforward with costs. They stay within the budget and deliver results. We’ve been impressed with their ability to prioritize and address urgent needs immediately. They also address lower-priority items in a reasonable timeframe without having to follow up. They’ve been very good at adapting to our needs and staying within the budget. They come up with proposals that meet our needs and fit our budget. They’re able to complete projects within a timeframe that works for us. They can adjust their work to our schedule and coordinate with us so that we don’t have to adjust to their timing.

They’re flexible enough to work with us when we have time to work on some of these projects. We use a web portal to update tickets and track progress on individual items. Other than that, we use Microsoft Teams and email.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Mauricio has done an excellent job trying to understand what we're looking for, working with his whole team to come up with a solution that fits our needs, and trying to ideate multiple options for us to choose from.

What did you find most impressive about them?

In today’s business world, especially when it comes to managed services and IT, providers often try to force a certain level of service or convince clients to buy something they believe is the best fit for those customers. However, GenCare tries to understand how they can help us meet our needs and tailor a solution that aligns with what we need.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on. They’re doing an excellent job of understanding what we need and delivering those things.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Spend time connecting with them and really delve into what you need. Give them the information so they can work on a solution that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.

What is the team composition?

We work with an account manager and an individual who monitors the help desk. Overall, we interact with about four teammates from GenCare.

How did you come to work with GenCare?

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a technology analyst at RELAC, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the pension benefits of retired Los Angeles County employees.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with GenCare?

We had a very old local server file system and engaged GenCare to modernize and relocate our operations into the cloud.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

GenCare has facilitated the migration of thousands of files to SharePoint and organized them into committee-specific SharePoint sites. The team has also confirmed all files were moved properly and helped us create security groups for our users in Microsoft 365. Additionally, GenCare has purchased licenses for Microsoft 365 and installed an upgraded firewall and WiFi system, installing a UniFi access point and SonicWall firewall. GenCare provides on-site and remote services.

What is the team composition?

I've been mainly in contact with Jimmy, who has taken on the bulk of the work for the SharePoint migration. We also work with Annant and Veronica.

How did you come to work with GenCare?

We met GenCare through a referral. One of our directors had an existing relationship with the team and suggested we have a consultation. We chose GenCare because of their track record with nonprofit organizations of our size, their responsiveness, the comprehensive quality of the scope of work, and their extensive planning.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent between $10,000–$50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with GenCare in June 2024, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We don’t have metrics yet, but GenCare has migrated thousands of files. 

How did GenCare perform from a project management standpoint?

GenCare has come in under hours and slightly under budget. GenCare is responsive, and we have weekly meetings via Microsoft Teams to update the progress of the project. The team has laid out a schedule and stuck to it, being very communicative every step of the way. Any holdups on the schedule are on our side. GenCare is very understanding when there are holdups on our end, and I've never felt we fall behind due to GenCare.
Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

I want to shout out Jimmy for being exceedingly helpful and responsive during a complex project. He's available at any time. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

GenCare's quick response time and comprehensive troubleshooting during times of stress are impressive.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything specifically GenCare can improve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Trust GenCare's process and try to adhere to the timeline they provide. It can be internally difficult for an organization to go through all of the SharePoint mappings, but it’s good to stay on schedule. Ensure that every member of your team is ready for all the steps and walk them through the schedule GenCare provides so that you can ensure that the entire project stays on track.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the assistant infrastructure supervisor at a manufacturing company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with GenCare?

We needed help with a migration from an on-premises software system to Microsoft 365.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

GenCare performed a technical analysis and helped us migrate our system to Microsoft 365. We headed the project internally, and GenCare provided guidance and support. GenCare also helped us accomplish any tasks we didn't know how to complete to migrate to the cloud. The team worked remotely.

What is the team composition?

We worked with two teammates: a senior systems engineer and Jonathan (Senior Account Manager).

How did you come to work with GenCare?

We found them on Google. We chose GenCare because their price point was good, and they had the technical expertise to provide solutions quickly.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent about $30,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from January–June 2023. The project is complete, but we’re still their client because they provided us with the licensing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

After moving to the cloud, we saw a reduction in downtime of our email infrastructure services, which went down to zero because everything is now managed by Microsoft.

How did GenCare perform from a project management standpoint?

They delivered on time and within budget and communicated every change to us. We communicated via phone calls and emails. Since we managed our own project, we had our own internal process.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Jonathan guided us through the licensing questions and what we needed. He was instrumental in getting the licensing. We still use him to pick his brain on what kind of licensing we need going forward, the benefits of those licenses, and how we can break those licenses into different categories.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I didn’t see any weaknesses during the project.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Understand what you need and do your homework. Know the project length and budget.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a controller for an HVAC company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with GenCare?

A previous provider helped us to switch to a cloud-based server, but we started having issues with them. They didn’t seem to care about their customer service, so we wanted to switch. We were looking for more transparency in our billing and a better help desk service, one that would be responsive and help us solve our users’ problems.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

GenCare provides help desk services; they host cloud-based servers and help us with our virtual desktops. They were already familiar with our environment because they helped our previous service provider switch to the cloud, so there wasn’t a lot of previous documentation.

We’ve switched licenses and cloud-based services to GenCare and established the help desk. The team services our virtual desktop and helps us remotely; they don’t provide any services to our physical hardware at any of our locations.

What is the team composition?

We’ve dealt with 4–5 teammates.

How did you come to work with GenCare?

We found them in connection to our previous service provider. We reached out to GenCare because we already had good experiences with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with them in July 2023, and our relationship is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

They’ve been great. We’re saving about $10,000 a month with their services.

How did GenCare perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management is excellent. One of our biggest issues with our previous provider was their responsiveness. GenCare is responsive; they call us quickly and are always super polite.

Our users can submit tickets via email or call in and get help from the help desk. Additionally, we can access a portal to see the total tickets for all of our users.

Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?

Charles (Director) is accommodating and responsive.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They check all of our boxes.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, we haven’t had complaints.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be clear about what you’re expecting. The more you direct them, the better results you’ll get from them.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a director at an acting development studio.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenges were you trying to address with GenCare?

We needed help solving our email server issues and integrating all of our platforms, taking our more than 15 types of users into account. They also offered general support.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

GenCare provided remote IT services. Their services included transferring us to Microsoft 365 and ironing out all of our email server issues.

What was the team composition? 

We worked with three members of GenCare’s team, including IT support specialists and an account manager.

How did you come to work with GenCare?

I found GenCare via Google and chose them because we read their reviews, and they seemed like a team that could adapt to our needs and budget capabilities.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $2,000 with them on this project.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from March–May 2023. Still, we plan on partnering with them for cybersecurity and antivirus installation.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Thanks to GenCare, our emailing system started working, which was very important for us. In addition, they connected us with a third-party provider to help us with server management for our website. Overall, they delivered on our expectations and their promises.

How did GenCare perform from a project management standpoint?

GenCare met all of our deadlines and stayed within budget. Moreover, communication was strong because they were transparent with what they could do. Regarding tools, we used Microsoft Teams.

What did you find most impressive about them?

GenCare’s main strength was their ability to utilize resources across their organization. They had a specific team member assigned to every task, which made everything very clear about the process, distinguishing them from other providers.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I didn’t think there was anything they could improve on.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I recommend learning about their different packages and working with them, especially if you’re a small business.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am an executive at an educational services nonprofit organization. Our foundation evaluates the credentials of applicants with non-US credentials who wish to work or study further in the US.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with GenCare?

Our business operations largely rely on technology, so our need for technology is crucial. We recently switched to GenCare because our previous service provider wasn’t providing us with the service we needed. Additionally, we needed to upgrade certain of our technology features.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

GenCare provides our foundation with managed IT services, which include system maintenance and technology updates. Initially, we had a few meetings, and they were in charge of doing the integration and the whole switch from our previous service provider. Their team provides us with both on-site and remote support.

What is the team composition?

I work with around 5–6 teammates from GenCare, including their customer support technicians, a main customer service liaison, and two teammates in charge of the entire migration and integration.

How did you come to work with GenCare?

They were recommended by a colleague to us. We interviewed various service providers, and we found GenCare’s prices not only to be competitive but, more importantly, they also understood the nature of our business and our business needs very well.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $6,000 for the service integration plus a monthly maintenance fee.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our relationship with GenCare is fairly new; we’ve been working with them since February 2023.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

GenCare has provided far superior customer service to all our staff than our previous service provider. I haven’t received any complaints from staff regarding their service. This is meaningful.
Moreover, GenCare’s level of knowledge, support, care, and expertise is superior. They are responsive and follow up immediately and get problems resolved without having to refer them to other engineers or technicians, so issues also get resolved more quickly.

How did GenCare perform from a project management standpoint?

Initially, I expected a more painful process of switching service providers, but it has been seamless to date. GenCare has not only stuck to the timeline and budget, but they have completed the integration much sooner than they originally anticipated.

In addition to that, GenCare’s communication is excellent. They have kept us informed every step of the way. Their team is extremely responsive to our calls and email queries. Whenever we call for customer support, we don’t have to hold on for more than two minutes. In addition to phone and email, we communicate via Zoom.

What did you find most impressive about them?

GenCare’s main strengths are their knowledge, support, expertise, and responsiveness. Additionally, the customer service liaison assigned to our account has been a great asset.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing GenCare could improve on. Although we’re still in the early stages of our engagement, we are very happy with their work thus far.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Communicate your exact needs.
