Hear what our Utility Service Provider Franchisees are saying!

“Since joining forces with The Utility Company, we have augmented our consulting business with very complimentary managed IT services.  They have the ‘system’ to deliver high-quality, profitable fixed-fee services, while also looking to the future with their Virtual IT model.  My advice to any sales or technology professional wanting to actually build a business that they can one day sell is to take a look at Beyond Managed Services.”  Mark McIntyre – Toronto, Ontario.

Hear what our customers are saying!

“We signed on with The Utility Company after dismissing our IT support person, then giving up on our break-fix provider.  I like to say we went from ‘in-house’ to ‘out-house’ to the Utility model.  This was our last alternative…  I don’t know what else we could have tried but fortunately we’ve found our trusted business partner for ALL things technology.  The Utility Company really is more than a technology service provider – they become a strategic partner, helping guide an organization in using their EXISTING technology more effectively.”  Dan McDrummond – General Manager at JIT Manufacturing of Seattle, Washington
