We highly recommend IT21st to any business
We were introduced to IT 21st right before covid while our company was working full time in an office building. IT 21st worked with us to migrate all of our systems which were on-premises at the time into an azure cloud set up. The transition was smooth and efficient, and enabled our company to quickly transition to an at-home work environment. Today, we still use the same set-up and have ease of use in a secure environment that is much more flexible than our prior set-up. They respond quickly whenever we need assistance, ensuring minimal downtime. We highly recommend IT21st to any business looking for a secure cloud set up and top-tier IT support.
