Great people at all levels of the company! We have used First Column IT as our IT provider for years.

Recently, I worked side by side with many of the technicians to install a new LIS as part of our laboratory expansion and renovation project. They are knowledgeable, accommodating and always available. I appreciate their rapid response, excellent technical support and helpful recommendations for new products our lab needed.

It was a challenge for us to coordinate all phases of the laboratory project (which included cabling, wiring, network upgrade and hardware installation) while maintaining regular business operations, but First Column made it easy and seamless. They go above and beyond to offer the most efficient and affordable solution to any issue we encounter.

I would highly recommend First Column IT for your technology needs.

As an ISO 9001 certified company, we have several legal requirements for data protection. A breach would cost us significant losses, not to mention bad PR and legal fees. For this reason, we trust First Column IT to safeguard and monitor our network. They ensure we cover every requirement of the ISO 9001 certification, giving peace of mind, and allowing us to focus on running the business and taking care of our clients.

First column IT will do what they promise, for this reason I have brought them with me when I changed companies. I can depend on them to listen to what we need, adapt to any situation, and give valuable recommendations.

However, we continue to receive the same quality service.

First column IT has a committed and well sized team of staff and technicians who communicate effectively and are available to get issues solved quickly. Outsourcing well is better than paralyzing IT issues occurring.

I like the Managed Services Agreement because it is hassle free. There is no need to worry about the number of service calls put in, having one monthly fee is great!

Unlike previous experiences at other IT firms where I would be bounced around or must wait for my service tech, I feel that everyone at First Column IT can help me. You might find an IT firm that can handle the needs the same way, but it would be hard to find the type of personalized customer service First Column IT provides. Everyone is friendly, helpful and attentive.  Great customer service!

No matter who we talk to, the ball the gets rolling and the issue worked on until it’s completed. A ticket can also be placed via email and tracked which really lets you know what progress is being made. First Column IT is a great choice, as no one could be disappointed with their service.

We are an accounting firm and must be proactive about client confidentiality. In this respect, First Column IT has shown integrity above reproach as they manage our systems. I appreciate your candor in providing a best-case recommendation. These solutions are well communicated allowing the client to understand implications of the suggested IT solution tailored to their budget and requirements.

The convenient email ticketing system allows for quick and easy requests for support.  Most tickets are resolved within the same business day and there is no worry about ‘by the hour’ billing for something that is tangled up!

The courtesy and respect shown by the officers of your company, the First Column technicians, your office staff and dispatcher are just amazing! I can’t say enough good about your firm; work quality has been first-class.
