Greg Mailand CEOKeeping our Data and Network Secure
The MacGuys+ ensure our employees have access to the information they need while making sure our Data and Network are Secure. Over the course of the last few years, we've had to move twice. The MacGuys+ were there to coordinate with our other contractors and provided personal service and recommendations above and beyond their role as our IT support team.
We are very pleased with their services and would highly recommend them.
The MacGuys+ are a Perfect Solution
Having The MacGuys+ as a partner gives me immense peace of mind to know that when there's a Mac issue, I don't have to derail whatever I'm working on and spend hours searching the web for solutions. The MacGuys+ are dialed into all things Mac, and either know the answer, or can find it much quicker than me. The MacGuys+ also are more proactive about identifying and solving IT issues than other IT firms I've worked with, proactively minimizing problems.
As an IT department with other responsibilities, having local experts in IT who are extremely knowledgeable about Apple Technology is a killer tool to have in your back pocket.
Another big benefit of outsourcing Mac IT support to the MacGuys+ is that my Mac users don't feel like second-class citizens. I've always felt nagging guilt that I didn't know enough about Macs to support their machines adequately, but I also have to be realistic about how many things I can be an expert in. The MacGuys+ has the Mac side of things covered. Everybody wins 🙂

I recommend The MacGuys+ for their professionalism and ability to provide our company with much more than basic IT support, they have provided us tools and ideas to help with our business growth that goes far beyond any IT support we’ve had. They are our trusted IT and business partner.
