I had been with my previous IT provider for over seven years, so I was used to a certain way of doing things. But after meeting with the Strive team, it was clear just how much the technology-and my needs-had evolved. What stood out to me was how comprehensive their approach is. They took the time to explain not just what they were doing, but why it mattered-things I hadn't even considered, like backing up email already stored in the cloud. It's clear they're not just putting out fires-they're proactive. And by that, I don't just mean they stay ahead of problems, but that they actually help me understand what I might be missing before it becomes an issue. Even though I consider myself fairly tech-savvy, they pointed out gaps I hadn't thought about, and it was like, 'Aha! That makes sense.' As someone who handles sensitive financial data for clients, security is non-negotiable. I appreciate that they understand the needs of businesses like mine and take a security-first approach. It's a level of communication and foresight I didn't have with my previous provider, and it's made a big difference.
