Why did you want to work with eVantage Technology?

When we initially engaged eVantage Technology, their niche was asset management. Sam, one of the co-founders, has a background on the sell side, so he had an understanding of what our needs were and we were therefore very comfortable in trusting eVantage Technology with our business. Soo Meng, the other co-founder, has experience working with IT, which provided me with the extra assurance that they would be able to meet our requirements.

How has eVantage Technology helped your business?

eVantage Technology was right there from the start. Our business started in February of 2011, and I contacted eVantage Technology in January to help us with our IT needs. They helped us source our computers, set up our office, set up our phones and they’ve provided support ever since. I can’t imagine going through the process without them.

Describe your experience working with eVantage Technology.

It’s a relationship we have had for three years now and it has been very positive. We have been very comfortable in trusting eVantage Technology with our business. From an IT standpoint we have simple needs and requirements and therefore are not very heavily IT dependent – at least until something does not work! Also, every once and awhile we will have an unusual IT request and I’ll pick up the phone and call eVantage Technology. They always find a solution to the problem.
