Don't take our word for it, hear what our clients have to say:

“Avrem is best IT service [we have] ever had working for us. Previous IT services just slowly stop getting the job done. [We have] made a lot of changes and Avrem keeps up with the ever changing situations that are necessary to keep my customers happy. Would recommend them to anybody that wants to keep their business moving forward.”

Ted
Owner, manufacturing company

“Just wanted to send a quick “thank you” for all the work you have done. It’s such a peace of mind to have our IT in very capable hands. Really appreciate it!”

Carrol
Employee, accounting firm

“Can't thank Avrem Technologies enough! Installed a new computer system [and] network for my business! Very talented and highly skilled team. I sleep better at night knowing my system is very secure. I highly recommend their services!”

Bob
Owner, pest control company

“Robert and his team of IT specialist are not only professional, but are very well versed in the world of IT and will never sway you in the wrong direction. Having worked with Robert on numerous occasions, I trust only Avrem to handle any and all issues I may have. They have my complete trust, and explain things well to those of us no tech savvy.”

Julie
Office Manager, pest control company

“Avrem Technologies and Robert are nothing short of spectacular! When my computer went down and I needed a prompt fix they were there to assist immediately. Robert and his staff were very professional and promptly responded to all of my questions. They even spent the time to explain what was happening and why, and I felt they went above and beyond - as they say “dumbing it down a notch” - as this was not an area of my expertise. I have recommended Avrem to everyone I know for their computer and IT needs. A fantastic company and team!”

Brian
Financial Advisor, investment firm

“Avrem has been working with us for approximately three years. In this time, they have made great improvements in our electronic health records system, communication, and HIPPA compliance. We have struggled in the past with software programs and inter facility communication because of programs and process’ being implemented and no one to trouble shoot or ask questions. They have implemented a process of streamlining these areas. Problems are addressed on a much faster basis than before due to their availability after hours. I feel the company’s HIPPA Compliance has also made great improvements because of the monitoring systems they have put in place through a tighter scrutiny on company emails and internet service outages. Lastly, I can’t say enough about the staff! Everyone has always been friendly and super helpful when we call. Even if they have already addressed an issue repeatedly. ”

Judy
Administrator, healthcare company

When I reach out to them they are cordial and never make you feel like I have no idea what I’m doing, even though I don’t. The team is well educated and always willing to be of assistance 24/7 and educating. What a great move we have made using this company!”

Karen
Business Office Manager, healthcare company

“Our company has worked with Avrem Technologies for the past 11 years. All along, Avrem has been prompt with solving issues, speedy when problems arise and courteous in dealing with all our staff.

Avrem provides us with a more cost effective way to handle all our IT, internet and phone system needs. ”
