“Since we started working with itSynergy, we’ve benefited from a larger team of US-based service professionals who are consistently responsive and genuinely helpful. As they got to know our environment, they identified a number of setup issues where our tech stack wasn’t properly aligned across the team, gaps in our prior MSA had not identified or addressed. Getting them resolved quickly has left us far more confident in the robustness of our technology, the strength of our cybersecurity protection, and the day-to-day service team we rely on.”
