Lovely people to deal with, customer service is second to none, nothing is too much trouble. Excellent system for requesting help I have waited no longer than 30 minutes for help. Would highly recommend.

I attended a Microsoft Teams demo recently and was impressed by the way the session was delivered. I particularly like being able to see the presenter's face which builds rapport and engagement. Also hearing about how Eitex use Teams was helpful. I have attended other Teams training in which it seemed that every way to do every thing was covered which is a bit mind blowing if the topic is new to you. Thanks guys!

Attended a Cyber Security presentation at Eitex by West Yorkshire Police,
Informative and "eye opening". There is always more you can do to protect your company and yourself. It just confirmed that you have to be constantly alert to threats.

I recently attended a Microsoft Teams workshop as its a tool I am keen to embrace in my new role and when an opportunity arose to see it in use by the professionals I got in contact and I am so glad I did.
It was conducted in a relaxed environment where you feel comfortable to ask questions/pitch scenarios of use and also have the ability to see how it used elsewhere I worked at Eitex nearly 10 years ago Eitex has always been keen to be at the forefront and embrace changes within the IT space and its nice to see that's still the case with Dean and his team. Highly recommended

Great session on Teams for Office365 users. Learnt lots of new ways that can discount the other platforms I am using (and paying for). Will be investigating and integrating into my business. Many thanks Dean.

Really knowledgeable around Teams and the whole of Office 365. I found the training and support beneficial even though I already had a knowledge around Teams. Dean answered any questions that I had in detail.

Eitex’s support is helpful and attentive and they try to break down technical jargon down to easily understandable English.

JS Recruitment is known for service excellence and professionalism. When selecting suppliers we choose only those who share our values and work to the same high standards. This is certainly true of Eitex. Eitex have supported JS Recruitment during a recent office move, provided expert advice on how best to protect and future proof our business and they continue to provide proactive IT support. We know Dean and the team at Eitex to be consultative, responsive and above all they deliver exceptional customer service. With this in mind, we would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Great seminar on Office 365 by Dean at Eitex today. It was really insightful, jargon free and has made me realise the software's full potential and how we can improve our infrastructure to make us more efficient. Lots to think about and implement!

We have worked with Eitex over the past couple of years, managing and supporting both our hardware infrastructure and Microsoft 365 environment. In that time we have always had great service and they have always gone that extra mile to get everything just right. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Just attended an Office365 Taster session and even as an experienced user I found that there are alot of other programmes which we do not currently use but would be of benefit to us. Session was easy to follow and very informative.

Your team and yourself have once again excelled, the service you provide I feel is second to none and it is incidents like what we have just incurred which really test a service like you provide and to say you have gone above and beyond is an understatement. From the first report I made, your response time and the haste in which you acted has undoubtedly saved us untold hassle let alone cost.

YORKSHIRE RUBBER LININGS LTD “Here at YRL we know loads about rubber but much less about IT! That’s where Eitex comes in. They too are good at what they do and they make sure we keep going and service our customers by maintaining our computer based systems. We have used Eitex since its inception and are proud to say we were their very first client. Concentrate on what you’re good at and leave the IT stuff to Eitex!”

Why use Microsoft Teams Rooms

AfPP (Association for Perioperative Practice) is a registered charity based in Harrogate North Yorkshire. The charity works with operating theatre practitioners and aims to enhance patient safety and the quality of care within the theatre environment in the NHS and the independent sector throughout the UK.
The growth of the Association has warranted IT infrastructure upgrades and greater processing power. Traditionally this would have been done with additional servers and hardware. AfPP however opted for the smarter approach and chose to move their physical servers into a virtual environment, plus spin-up new servers for the additional processing power required. The technology chosen was Microsoft Hyper-V.
In addition to the new virtual environment AfPP chose to move email servers to Microsoft Office 365 with Exchange Online. This removed 2 extra physical servers from the system.
The work has allowed AfPP to consolidate 9 servers down to just 2 physical servers, and allow a 99.9% uptime guarantee for email with Office 365. Furthermore, remote worker can access email and services without having to connect into AfPP’s system, improving security and resilience.
Visit the AfPP website here.
