What Clients Say About vCIO Services

Real business owners trust vCIO expertise for honest guidance, efficiency, and savings.

“As the CEO of a public relations firm, I want to spend as little time as possible thinking about IT so we can focus more on the areas we excel in and better serve our clients. Working with Nortec has allowed us to do just that.”

Annie Pace Scranton
Pace Public Relations

“Going with the wrong managed IT services team put a damper on our operations, holding us back from success, and making challenges for our small team that simply didn’t need to exist. IT, after all, is central to our business’s work. Nortec was able to help us because they took the time to understand the challenges we were facing and how these problems were affecting our day-to-day operations.”

Healthcare Law Firm in Washington D.C.

“Nortec consistently provides a prompt, professional response to all our IT issues. They are reliable and friendly to work with and I highly recommend them for your businesses IT needs.”

Kathy Cain, Caliber Construction
Controller

“All I did was send a short, detailed email to the Help folks at Nortec… within a few minutes, my issue (a Sharepoint problem) was being fixed and I was able to view its completion in Teams. I’ve spent more time writing this review than I took explaining and getting my issue resolved. (It’s not my first interaction with Nortec; it’s the same result and feeling each time, however.) I know the rest of my company is pleased, too.

Judy Bolton
Mindbank Consulting Group

“My experience with Nortec has been nothing but good! From the beginning getting into the Microsoft O365 world and the ongoing changes that come with it, the ups and downs, they have been there for us..

Bob Drumm, I.T. Manager
Brookville Equipment Corp.

“The team at Nortec is always very quick to respond which is very helpful when you don’t have time to wait a long time. They seem to understand that a computer problem usually hampers your ability to work. The techs are always very helpful and knowledgeable and can usually fix your problem very quickly. Great team!!!
