Any hosting provider can boast about the speed of their server or the size of their pipe, but the real value for us is that when something goes wrong, we have a partner who has the technical know how to work out where the problem lies and have it fixed with minimum interruption.
Were a Domino-based site and we havent come across anyone who knows that platform better than IC Consulting.
Sim said users of ITJourno.com.au and MediaConnect.com.au have already expressed appreciation for what is now a much more reliable and speedier service.
