CIO, Venture Capital Firm
“Our server was dying. We needed to upgrade Microsoft Dynamics GP (formerly Great Plains). Rapid turnaround was essential to minimize downtime. And our IT department was stretched so thin that we couldn’t realistically or reasonably expect them to take on the project. The timing was just so critical, not simply because we couldn’t afford any significant downtime, but also because if the server died before we replaced it, we would have been in serious trouble. So we turned to Altico Advisors and they did the job. The server migration and software upgrade were virtually painless. Plus we can now reap the added benefits of the newest version of Dynamics GP (formerly Great Plains). We’re a happy Altico client.”
