The first thing we noticed about infoCORE was that they really seemed to care. It was something quite strange to find from an IT company and very refreshing too. They now look after all our servers, desktops, Pastel software and everything in-between for one fixed fee. I love not having to spend my time under a desk trouble shooting IT problems in my business, and for the first time I know my IT budget. I just wish I had moved to infoCORE long ago.
