Second Star Technologies came highly recommended. We've been using their services going on 2+ years and couldn't be happier. Customer service, updates, troubleshooting and everything else tied in to IT service expectations have met and more.
I have been doing business with Brandon for over 15 years and have always found Second Star to be professional and more importantly proactive. The second star team is always available to solve any problems that arise with up to date remote technology.
Given my utter lack of computer literacy and know-how, I have been fortunate to have Brandon and Second Star provide me with both hardware and software solutions to my various computer needs, both at home and office for the past few years; he has been a reliable life-saver.
I have been working with Second Star Technologies for about four years now. They are very hands on and hard working when it comes to their clients. Other than the good customer service, I really like that they talk in terms that are easy to understand when using new/existing software we need for our sales driven business. I have recommended Second Star Technologies to many other businesses.
