To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Large Migration Done Right

We used CIO Technology Solutions in Tampa to split out Google Workspace into two companies. They handled a large email and user migration, domain migration, aliases, and DNS updates. They even came onsite to make sure scan-to-email worked.

The whole project was done in under a week with zero downtime. Their team was easy to reach and always picked up the phone when we called. Everything went smoothly, and I'd recommend them for managed IT or IT projects in Tampa.
