Bryley recognized as a regional top IT Services Provider

and how it could matter to you

In Worcester Business Journal’s annual Book of Lists Bryley was ranked seventh largest among Central Massachusetts IT Services Providers. It gratifies us to see Bryley’s name listed near the top. And sincere thanks to the clients that have entrusted their IT support to Bryley. But is there any reason that the size of an IT operation should matter to you and your organization?

Doesn’t personal service suffer when a business gets larger?

It’s probably more common than not that as a business expands, problems, projects and clients fall through the cracks. Which of us hasn’t witnessed this all the way to the point of businesses making it nearly impossible to get through to an actual person?

But this is the beauty in having CEO Garin Livingstone being a systems guy motivated by a desire to help. When Garin assumed the role of president four years ago he prioritized documentation so that, as he said, we get to the issues faster. And we’re not putting out the same fires again and again. And most important, good documentation gets us to actually listen to what’s going on with clients faster. So even if a client’s issue ends up being handled by a few people on the tech team, getting help should feel pretty smooth.

As Senior Field Tech Rylie Fuller said, it’s also a collaborative feeling at Bryley: getting briefed by Garin, Kristin or Michelle, the techs asking each other questions, the documentation process so we can each get up to speed fast when a call comes in.

Well this is fine from people on the inside, but what do clients report about the service experience?

Here are a few recent client comments about Bryley’s help:

• From a property developer with a Windows login issue: never disappointed when I ask for help!
• From the operations manager at an energy consultancy: fabulous as always. I mean, I feel like I repeat myself every time … because the quality of work/support is the same every time.
• From a Central Mass manufacturer: Michelle has always been easy to work with. She’s pleasant, knowledgeable and resolves the issue quickly.

How do my urgent IT needs get addressed with so many clients?

Because Bryley, begun in 1987, is systems-based with a larger, intentional staff, Bryley:

• has a demonstrated and refined-over-years methodology to handle escalation
• has more experienced staff that understand IT prioritization
• has multiple senior techs on staff in case of emergencies
• has the ability to shift resources from other projects as required
• is not scrambling to find someone with the right expertise. Bryley has experts in many tech areas on staff.

The bottom line is that we’ve seen and handled a lot before. We won’t be learning IT or how to handle IT emergencies at your expense, which gets us to –

The value of employee retention

Although a couple employees have recently retired after more than twenty years at Bryley, the average tenure at Bryley is almost ten years. Having consistently enough work and the attendant stability, and having a variety of engaging projects has helped keep the staff together.

And even with Bryley’s operational systems in place, why might longevity matter to you? IT veterans have witnessed the evolution of tech – from mainframes to chatbots. Good chance they’ve seen a similar situation before and know what will work or not. Their experience means durable network architecture and the wisdom to avoid solutions that sound good, but are just hype.

Not to say that the IT industry doesn’t also require fresh perspectives and current methodologies (for several techs over the years, Bryley has been their first job out of school).

Bryley’s stability has let us bring you a multi-generational team of both accumulated expertise and cutting-edge approaches – we hope the best of both worlds.

Again, thank you to the clients who have made Bryley’s longevity and success possible.
