HEAr from our clients
I am the CFO for a company that was originally family-owned, and subsequently sold to Private Equity. When I arrived, our hardware was predominantly outdated. We were experiencing server errors, using computers from the dinosaur age, and we had little to no digital security.
When interviewing different managed service providers, I instantly knew that Windward was the right fit. Within weeks, Kelly and Collin had enhanced the security profiles for all of our equipment. They were able to transition all data from a failing server over to a new one—without business interruption—and they instantly adjusted a variety of items in our IT environment to help us operate more robustly.
Whenever we open a ticket, they answer promptly and always fix the issue, taking a root cause approach (rather than just patching things). I’ve probably had 50% of our staff approach me with gratitude for bringing Windward in. We now know we have a true IT partner, in every since of the word. Collin, Kelly and the entire Windward team are simply phenomenal.
“I have been working with Windward Networks for over four years. They are responsive, proactive, and are constantly keeping our best interests in mind. I never have to worry about any of our IT needs with them looking out for us. I would recommend Windward to anyone!”
“Omni has been working with Windward for over 15 years. Our experience with them has been superb. They are very professional, get the work done timely and are fun to have around. The guys respond very quickly no matter what time or day and address problems very effectively”.
“Our firm has been a client of Windward Networks for over a decade. Kelly and his team are fantastic to work with. They are knowledgeable, reliable and always provide great service. I have extreme confidence in Windward and would recommend them to anyone searching for a consultant who can take care of all of their IT needs”.
“Windward Networks, Kelly, Collin and Tony, are great to work with. They are always available via email and/or phone, reliable, knowledgeable and friendly, too! If they are not able to be onsite within a short time of a call, they will remote in or talk you through the problem. We have no hesitation in recommending them for IT services”.
“Windward Networks has provided outstanding service to our company for the last 15 years. As a CPA firm client data security is a top priority so it is imperative that we have an IT group we can depend on. We have complete trust in Windward Networks to keep our network secure and running smoothly. Kelly and his team always respond to our calls promptly and when necessary have been on-site within minutes. I would highly recommend Windward Networks to any business.”
“Windward saved us! They were willing to jump right in to tackle a network outage and get us back to safety again. They are easy to contact and easy to understand when dealing with network issues.”
We have used the Windward team since Hazel’s opened. They provide consistently great response times to critical issues and, more importantly, think pro-actively to head off potential problems before they become critical. Thank you Windward!”
“I’m so thankful we have Windward Networks keeping our network secure. Collin, is truly one of the best techs we’ve ever dealt with. He’s so responsive (no matter when I’ve contacted him), fast and knowledgeable. What a excellent company to work with! Highly recommend!”
“As the property manager at a multi-family complex, it’s important that we have IT services that are reliable and available. Windward Networks has handled installation and troubleshooting for us, and are always incredibly responsive. I couldn’t be happier with their excellent customer care, assistance, speed, and courteous manner. If you require IT services of any kind, I would highly recommend Windward Networks.”
Windward Networks (Collin, Quinn, and the entire team) are extremely responsive, thorough, and professional and I would highly recommend them for any of your IT needs.
