"I would recommend CMS to any business.  I find the support we receive from CMS very professional. We have been linked with the company for many years and they have always been so helpful and understanding with our issues.”

“CMS engineers/telephone operatives have patience when they are describing solutions to us and they also arrange visits when required. All members of the team will go the extra mile to assist with IT issues.”

“The move to the CMS data centre went very well. It solved the hardware refresh problem and has enabled us to relocate at will without disrupting IT services to our UK, US and Malaysian businesses. Interestingly, because of the time difference, CMS also provides Malaysia with 24*7*365 support.”

“CMS delivered a proposal covering all these requirements, both from a commercial and timeline perspective. The project was delivered on time within challenging time constraints; whilst there were challenges along the way, CMS dealt with these and went beyond their remit, demonstrating a true ownership of the project.”

“The primary remit for CMS was to release key Emerson & Renwick personnel from daily fire-fighting of IT issues. This has been achieved due to the quality and accessibility of the CMS remote service desk.”

"I decided that CMS Group would best suit our company after meeting three potential IT Support companies. This was mainly due to Oliver’s knowledge and his ability to listen to our company IT support needs and confirm that he was able to ensure all requests could be dealt with by CMS and in a professional manner. I have on many occasions called CMS for help and guidance in the short time that we have been customers and been more than happy with their immediate attention and resolution."

“great onboarding with us, I was extremely impressed by Oliver and Ryan's hands on attitude early days. They helped make the transition from the incumbent very good. They established an early communication plan to help ease staff in to the new routine, supported by strong documentation and this helped a positive buy in from staff around the business. I also like how Oliver personally contacted all GMs to go through their processes and how they work.

They're a very eager bunch and happy to take on whatever tasks, including the boring stuff like updates and precautionary checks giving back valuable time to IT. They’re also happy to work alongside us for process improvement”

“IT is an enabling tool that allows us run our business as efficiently as possible. By switching to the CMS Cloud Service we've sidestepped many of the day-to-day hardware and software management issues that don’t add any real value to the business. Instead, we've got a dynamic and flexible IT infrastructure that is both resilient and more suited to the demands of a rapidly growing Trumeter Technologies.”

“Having realised our IT System was no longer fit for purpose as our Business grew, we spoke to several Companies about replacing it. We were sufficiently impressed with the CMS Group to place our order with them.

ongoing business. All work was carried out in a professional manner and we are more than happy to recommend CMS Group to anyone looking to upgrade or replace their IT Systems.”

“We’ve been working with CMS Group for over 3 years now. We initially started out by asking them to provide an ‘Annual Leave Cover’ contract which they gladly did. This has since escalated into a ‘3rd Line System Support’ contract, a ‘Cisco Switch Breakdown & configuration’ support contract, and an ‘Out of Hours’ support contract. We have an excellent working relationship with the CMS Group staff who offer a personal touch and take full ownership of our problems to their resolution.”

“I thought I should drop you a line to say how impressed I am with the team of engineers that are assisting us with the rollout … without a shadow of a doubt, had we engaged ‘standard’ engineers we would have struggled to complete this project within the time constraints put upon us … As a company, you have obviously decided that recruitment based on a ‘can do’ attitude is as important as the IT skills of a particular engineer and for this, you should be commended”
