BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

TPH Global Solutions is designs and produces retail packaging and displays throughout the USA and China.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire GO Technology Group?

GO Technology Group serves as our IT help desk, network managers and all things cyber security.

SOLUTION

How did you select GO Technology Group and what were the deciding factors?

John Marta was referred to us through a mutual contact. We were in the process of replacing our inhouse resources with John's group. The expertise of John and his team matched up perfectly with our needs which made the decision to move forward easy.

Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package.

We started with updating our hardware and software systemwide. We have since migrated to help desk type requests as needed.

How many resources from the GO Technology Group team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We have worked with 4-5 different tech's over the course of our engagement. Each has made a positive contribution to the relationship.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We had an situation where our team was having trouble accessing our network drives and archive folders. John happened to be onsite and quickly determined our network was under the early stages of a ransom attack.

He quickly isolated the network from the external feeds, located the corrupt files and was able to clean up the issue and restore from back up within an hour. John then educated everyone involved on how this happened and what to look out for in the future. That was 3 years ago with no issues since.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Go Technology is very responsive. They respond to all of our users requests virtually in real time. They are pleasant to work with and very effective in resolving our issues.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

They seamlessly worked their way into our company and gained the acceptance of our very insular group. They're easy to work with and very effective at problem-solving.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

None

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am an owner of a wildlife management company that specializes in bird control serving WI, IL, and IN.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire GO Technology Group?

Our Company moved to a new location in 2015. There was a need to upgrade our Server and update to newer technologies overall which the current IT vendor could no longer support.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Go Technologies was referred to us by a trusted individual who understood our needs and capacity. We needed a vendor who was responsive, competitively priced and provided clear explanations of the work they would be doing.

Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package.

The Go Technologies Team made sure our IT infrastructure was set up when we moved in without interruption from purchasing new equipment, transferring of older desktops/laptops to those individuals that had lesser needs and communicating with Internet provider for coordinating everyone's efforts.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Our main contact when we started was the Owner, John Marta, along with 2 other IT support members for the installation and transfer. We are still working with the same people as well as the owner to this day as he is very "hand's on" and takes care of his clients 24/7/365!

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Everything was done that was needed promptly, efficiently and within budget! They have managed our Network ever since without any issues. They make suggestions when needed that has saved money overall. Go Technologies truly have their client's needs in mind at all times!

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

When w have a IT request we send and e-mail to their support team in which they literally have gotten back to us within minutes of the request about the problem ...even on off hours and weekends!

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Personalized attention and consistency of the support staff! Your IT company must be the most trusted vendor that you have to keep your company in operation. I wouldn't even consider any other IT company than Go Technologies!

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Nothing at all!

President

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire GO Technology Group?

We hired GO Technology to address computer and network issues that were negatively affecting productivity. We also wanted to protect ourselves against ransomware, phishing and other attacks and find new ways to get more out of our technology, be more productive, and add more value to our clients (e.g. through streamlined and automated reporting).

SOLUTION

How did you select GO Technology Group and what were the deciding factors?

I became aware of GO Technology Group through our business coach and management consultant, who also uses their services. I was immediately impressed with GO's ability to quickly understand our business overall, technology landscape and issues, and recommend solutions that both made sense and are cost-effective.

Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package.

The GO Technology team assessed all computer hardware, operating systems, software, network, and phone system we were using. They upgraded all of our computers, troubleshot isolated issues, added cybersecurity protection to our network, got us up and running on Microsoft 365, Outlook and Teams, and have advised us since on maintaining all of the above.

How many resources from the GO Technology Group team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Their CEO, John Marta, was our main point of contact to diagnose our situation and make recommendations, then he oversaw his team to implement their technology plan for us.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We no longer have nagging/chronic technology problems and have avoided ransomware/phishing attacks. We are more productive in our everyday work because our operating systems and software are up-to-date and we replaced software that wasn't working as well as we needed it to be. And we know that GO Technology Group is there for us at a moment's notice whenever we need them.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Very good - all of the above couldn't have been done otherwise.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

GO Technology Group works as a technology partner with our best interest always in mind. They are very personable, are able to explain complex technology matters in a way we can understand, are patient, and never try to sell us something we don't need.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Not that I can thank of.
