They’ve gotten to know our business so well and they’re truly interested in helping us. It’s like having our own I.T. Department in-house. Australia Wide I.T. takes a personal interest in our team, our business and where we’re going. They’re like family.
Other I.T. companies just didn’t seem to have the same depth of knowledge as these guys. Rather than blame the user (us) they go the extra mile, locate the problem and fix it – Every time!
Coral
My business has grown from 3 stores to 5 stores over the last 3 years; one of the unfortunate consequences of this has been the fact that our old server and network could not cope with the growth. After much deliberation we chose Australia Wide I.T. to not only arrange the supply and installation of our new network, but to also provide long term support. We have been very pleased with our decision and would happily recommend them.

Your work last week was amazing. You couldn’t have been more supportive or expert in your conduct. I am very grateful and am amazed at your generous invoicing of last week’s work. I can only repay you by recommending you to as many people as possible.
Thank you. It is refreshing to know that when a problem occurs, you are always there – with great service.

Our previous I.T. Service Provider was distant, hard to contact and not customer focused. With Australia Wide I.T. we now have great service with a human touch. Our calls are answered promptly and the team is always ready to help in any way.
The maintenance program put in place by AWIT offers us peace of mind that our entire system is correctly and closely monitored.
Monica
A very big thank you from me to all of the guys there….You make things so easy for us and are always available to help.
A massive shout out to the Nash though for fixing our printer – you nailed it Nash and not only changed MY life, but also helped to save some trees in the Amazon Forest!
Thanks to you all.
