Technicians are Friendly and Knowledgeable
InnerPC brought us from an old small office server to a fully functioning web based platform that let's us access all of our programs and e-mail with just a few clicks (an extra click for two-factor verification). Their technicians are friendly and knowledgeable and answer our calls right away. Whatever needs to be done gets done without delay and you're back up and running. When I needed a new personal PC they stepped in and helped migrate my slow, lumbering 10-year old (or more, I forget) PC into a super-fast up-to-date mini PC (I had never seen one before and now I love it).

They Are A 10 Out Of 10 For The Wow Factor!!!
Inner PC is a very professional, supportive, and involved. The team will always follow up on the issues and concerns you have at your company, whether through emails, phone calls,/or video meetings. Their flexibility and work ethic make the work setup (especially if you are working remotely) a lot easier and more pleasant. When we had issues with SharePoint, they set up a company-wide meeting to train us on how to use the program. Now that we know what we are doing, we have not had a single issue with SharePoint. What IT company gives individual training? All I can say is they are a 10 out of 10 as far as the WOW factor.
