“As a rapidly growing business, there were many challenges we were facing with our IT infrastructure. We were also preparing to move to a much larger office that would require more hardware and a level of security that we have not had in the past and were in search of an IT services provider we could trust that could meet our needs. The team at Kavaliro Managed IT Services provided a one stop solution that could provide expert knowledge on new equipment needed and how to properly secure our IT infrastructure. In addition, they managed our entire IT transition to our corporate headquarters to include working with our service providers, installing the proper fiber optics/cabling, and setting up the access control at the appropriate security level we needed. This efficient, stress free management of our IT needs has exceeded what our expectations were. The Kavaliro Managed IT Services team has quickly become a part of the Knight Federal family and we could not be more pleased to have a trusted partnership with their organization.”
