Surpassing $1.8 billion in assets, this strategic management company’s CEO, Michael Bar was in the market for a company that could oversee this successful company’s growing technology needs. His objective was to hire an IT company with the same drive for excellence as their own, one who could keep his technology running efficiently, securely, and smoothly.
Michael first met Beits Livneh, President of Gallop Technology Group (GTG), through a mutual acquaintance. He had another company in mind for the same services, but after consulting with Beits, he chose to work with GTG. He liked the fact that Beits was knowledgeable about what IT services were necessary for a business of this size and represented himself well.
Michael says, “I saw that he was dedicated and worked all hours. It was helpful that he speaks Hebrew. But even before he provided IT services, he would check up on us to make sure our needs were met.”
With no one providing IT services before GTG took over, Michael knew he needed to find someone and has been very happy with all the issues GTG has solved along the way. Since they started working together in September of 2018, Michael says what he likes most about working with them is, that “GTG is available every time we call with an issue and almost always provide a solution the same day. Not to mention, they come here every two weeks just to check everything out and answer any questions we have.”
