We pride ourselves on customer service. Here's what some of our customers have to say about us …

 

Testimonial 1 - Plumbs Ltd- www.plumbs.co.uk

"We needed to migrate our servers from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003 without any disruption or downtime. Not an easy task when you consider we have over 150 users. Andy Procter, IT Consultant at A & N, guided us through the complexities of a swing migration. The project was a success on every level; on time, on budget & done without any systems downtime. I would recommend A & N to any business looking for assistance with their servers or network."

The firm's proactive programme of client communication is central to its' client service commitment, delivering relevant & valuable news, stories, offers & general advice targeted to an extensive client base. This client base is managed via the firm's CRM systems, based on Act for Windows software. The system was designed & implemented by A & N Systems in early 2007 & incremental enhancements have also been made by A & N.

I joined the late 2006, & realised immediately we needed help to develop a CRM system. Andy Procter understood our goals & translated them into a system that I could without extensive training or IT knowledge. Today, I have aeasy-t-use system that is customised for our business development purposes, yet offers me the flexibility to make further enhancements to our business changes. I rely totally on A & N for their expertise in Act for Windows & I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs advice & support in using Act for Windows."

Testimonial 6 - ECM Ltd www.ecm-uk.com

"A & N have been helping us with our IT since the mid nineties. Over the years thay have supplied us with; networking, servers, PC's, broadband products, printers & software. As our business has grown, A & N have always managed to help us implement the right IT.

In addition to providing next day cover on all our on-site equipment, A & N manage our network from their helpdesk ensuring that our antivirus is up-to-date, checking our backups & managing our Windows updates.

More recently we have needed home-working. Taking work home on laptops & disks was becoming difficult - we needed a much better solution. A & N devised & implemented a "proper" home-working solution for us. Our home-workers can now "remote desktop" to their office PC's & work as if they were sat in the office. This is done entirely securely using broadband/internet technologies."
