Who Do You Trust With Your Technology?

The value that we get from PACE is immeasurable. I’d like to thank Duarte, our Business Advisor, for his help in providing guidance. Before PACE we never had a plan and had to prod our old company for advice or try and figure it out ourselves, and we are not IT people. I feel like I understand what’s going on with our IT now and am seeing the benefit to proactively managing our IT vs just fixing things when they go wrong.

We’ve been with PACE for just 6 months now. We were very hesitant to change worried how a transition would go and that they didn’t know our business or some of the intricacies of our systems. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The transition was seamless and done in a very organized fashion. We’ve already seen performance improvements based on some of the work carried out on our monthly visits and solved problems that were bothering us for years. So glad we made this change!

As one of the oldest and largest immigration law firms in Canada, we take pride in helping families and employees relocate to Canada to enjoy the opportunities shared by all Canadians. We had experienced tremendous growth so much so that the firm’s infrastructure no longer could support its business adequately. This need for infrastructure including IT processes, coupled with our dissatisfaction with our current “Break Fix” IT provider resulted in us seeking out an alternative. Pace came to us highly recommended and ultimately won the business mostly due to the process driven business model and client service orientation.

They have a team of experienced professionals that are able to deal with any problem we give them. We were recently infected with the Cryptolocker virus through an email which then encrypted files on our network. Pace’s antivirus system detected this new variant of the virus on our network and was able to remove it. Pace was then able to recover all affected files. The entire process from detection to recovery took less than 2 hours.

The potential damage that could have ensued, had the virus not been stopped, it had the potential to encrypt and lock us out of a large portion of the files on our network. What PACE did and had in place to protect/prevent/stop the attack resulted in us being able to carry on like nothing had happened. The disruption was very minimal and everything was back to normal within a few hours.
