Case Study

"We were really struggling with our previous MSP, and we knew we needed to find someone who could provide a more reliable and efficient service. We were looking for a partner who could work with us to understand our unique needs and deliver tailored solutions that would help us achieve our business goals. Our old IT infrastructure was really starting to hold us back, and we knew we needed to make a change to keep up with the demands of our business."

 

Simon Richardson | IT Manager at SLE Worldwide and Pacific Underwriting Corporation

"The Missing Link has been able to provide us with a cost-effective cloud solution that meets our firm’s specific needs. We host our Citrix environment, which supports our specific mix of critical applications, on The Missing Link’s SmartCLOUD. This enables us to access our applications from anywhere, securely and reliably. It is critical that we have high uptime because staff simply can’t service our clients without the technology always available."
