MetroEast retained SMB Technologies to perform an in-depth IT Audit of our digital community media organization. We were running outdated legacy systems and processes. The SMB team went above and beyond digging deeply into all aspects of our IT-related operations. A thorough report was produced with weighted problem areas and recommendations for improvement. SMB demonstrated a solid understanding of and appreciation for our community media organization's IT needs. We hired SMB as an Interim CIO to help us in the next phase and we continue to work with SMB to address key areas identified in the IT Audit report. We're very glad to be working with SMB to transform and advance our IT department in a way that will benefit our overall organization.

A strategic brand design agency approached SMB Technologies years ago to oversee its local network, server, and general IT infrastructure. The team continues to provide them with support to this day.
SMB Technologies has dramatically improved the client's server stability, capacity, and speed so far. The team responds quickly, providing a familiar and comfortable working environment for their partner.
The client submitted this review online.
BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the owner and Creative Director of a small boutique strategic brand design agency here in Portland Oregon.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
For what projects/services did your company hire SMB Technologies?
We have used SMB Technologies for years to oversee our local network, our server, and general IT infrastructure.
What were your goals for this project?
We have used SMB to set up a small Mac server, and then as we grew we upgraded to a much more robust server system, as well as fiber optic internet.
SOLUTION
How did you select SMB Technologies?
Originally they came recommended by our local Apple Store's Business Group.
Describe the project in detail.
Our in-house server environment, set up by a different IT team, was inadequate, and had fundamental flaws in its setup. We needed an Apple-centric consultant who understood Macs specifically and could set up a system that worked well for our needs.
What was the team composition?
Owner/accountant, and a couple of IT tech staff who visit our office if/when the need arises.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Our server's stability, capacity, and speed improved dramatically when it was first installed to replace the original, and then its capacity was far stronger when upgraded for our expansion.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
They are quick to respond, and articulate their thoughts and approach well.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
It's very nice to speak the language of Mac, rather than being relegated to some sort of B-team in an otherwise Windows-based environment.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Sometimes the thoroughness of follow-up could be improved.
