Networking Happy Hour

“We just recently brought on Brightworks Group as our IT consultant and partner. They are always timely, professional, positive, and willing to do the work to come up with a solution to any of your IT problems.”

“I love working with Brightworks. Their responsiveness, knowledge, and commitment to their customers are an asset for any business, and I wholeheartedly recommend working with them.”

“The BWG team is helpful at a moment’s notice when needed. In this time where technology is one of the most crucial parts of any business, especially with remote working requirements, it’s important to have a support crew that can get you through issues that may arise. BWG has been a trusted partner for many years, and we are glad they are on board.”

“After working with Doug Miller and his team at BWG for a number of years, putting out fires and keeping the trains running on time, we asked Doug if there was a better way. At that time, early 2019, Doug was exploring cloud-based solutions for engineering firms that he thought might just solve many of our issues for a price we could afford. As it turns out, it was a timely discussion.
Over the course of the rest of 2019, we were introduced to Doug’s business partners at Avatara. Long story short, we made the switch from an on-premises IT solution to a cloud-based solution in early December 2019. This involved moving terabytes of data, all of our software, new laptops for access to virtual workstations in the cloud, and upgrades of our switches, routers, and access points in our half-dozen offices.

We made the switch over a weekend and then worked with both BWG and Avatara over the course of the next three months, customizing our new system. That wasn’t easy, but we were changing just about everything related to IT, and everyone pulled in the same direction. And the absolute dumb luck good news was that we were ready when the pandemic hit us all hard in mid-March. And by ready, I mean our employees were able to work from home using their internet connections and perform CADD virtually without missing a beat!

My thanks go to Doug, who had the foresight to propose such a solution, his team at BWG, our internal team working alongside BWG, as well as our new partners at Avatara. Well done to all.”

“My experience with IT consulting/support providers has historically been characterized by unpredictable fees, high turnover in the technicians that provide support, and a general lack of understanding of our business and its culture using technology.
The Brightworks business model is clearly different from other IT service providers, and they claimed to solve those common issues in their pitch to us. Since I began working with them several years ago, I can confidently say they have executed on that business model and provided a high level of service with a consistent team of individuals who have also spent time getting to know our business and how we use technology. Doug and his team are not only highly experienced and clearly understand the latest technology that supports our business, but are also personable and effective in translating technical jargon into concepts a non-technical business user can understand.

I would highly recommend Brightworks to any company looking for a partner they can trust to manage their information technology.”

“We had lost faith in IT companies as a whole, but finding ourselves in the position to find another one, we received a recommendation to contact Brightworks. Brightworks comes to the table with this new concept that really helped us think about how we use technology in new ways. We enjoy working with Brightworks because they care about our success as a whole, not just the IT piece.”

“After having many experiences with various IT firms, we have been lucky to find a partner like Brightworks to enhance our team. They are very quick to respond to any IT need we have – big or small – and do so willingly and enthusiastically at any time of day. But most importantly, they have been a trusted leader when it comes to understanding how technology can best support our growth. They are an absolute pleasure to do business with. Our organization could not operate as efficiently or effectively without the support of everyone at Brightworks, and we are grateful for their partnership! ”

“Brightworks consistently delivers a high level of technical expertise and customer service, so we can focus on our core business. Brightworks is committed to efficiently resolving IT incidents, but more importantly, they help us eliminate the root cause.”

“I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the comprehensive and thorough service provided by Brightworks Group. From providing high-level strategic guidance to providing day-to-day support to my team, Brightworks excels at proactively crafting and implementing solutions that keep us focused on our business, and not IT issues. My vCIO, account manager, on-site technicians, and help desk experts all take the time to clearly explain the risks and benefits of each decision. I look forward to continuing to grow with Brightworks Group.”
