Tim Tomlinson, IT Officer
Client Quote:
“I was impressed with the solutions and recommendations that Advanced Network Solutions made. ANS took a proactive approach in evaluating the cost of the existing network and the managed services they were providing. They recommended terminal servers and thin clients to consolidate the network, reducing cost in managing desktops and hardware. We have been able to manage our growth with incredible savings in maintenance and hardware replacement. Our network is more streamlined and I am able to roll out upgrades with ease. We have had terminal servers and thin clients for over 4 years and have saved over $27,000 per year in hardware costs alone. ANS introduced a wonderful solution, the security and maintenance service is excellent! They are always able to fix any issue in a prompt and efficient manner.”
