"The University of Reading signed up with ESC from its launch. Although we have general Windows systems management expertise in-house, we had tended to use consultants for specialised projects such as introducing and supporting Exchange, linking MS-SQL with IIS, etc. Our experience with consultants was varied, so we found the ESC's offering of annual support for the cost of a few days' consultancy very attractive. We have found their expertise to be comprehensive, their service responsive and professional. My very discriminating systems staff rate the ESC very highly and this is demonstrated by the way in which they now readily turn to ESC and adopt the approaches suggested."
