I had the wonderful experience of working with Sharad Suthar and his team for about 10 years while being the property manager for a 40+ retail store and business office shopping center. It was such an outstanding experience from start to finish. Sharad’s commitment to excellence in every aspect of his work from developing and maintaining our shopping center’s computer system to providing invaluable ongoing support with his remarkable attention to detail. One of the most impressive aspects of his service is his availability and dedication, always ready to help. His proactive approach and personalized attention made a huge difference in keeping our operations seamless and efficient. I truly appreciate Suthar’s expertise and commitment to solutions tailored to the needs of our shopping center. He is highly professional, knowledgeable and always responsive. I would not have been able to manage the center without his expertise and commitment.

We’ve used Stratify IT for our art studio business for 20 years, and it’s been a wonderful choice. Sharad and Lena have helped us with all our hardware and software needs, advised us, guided us, and have been available to capably troubleshoot any and all questions and issues as they arise. They’re customer-focused and very responsive, and I recommend them very highly.

Stratify IT transformed our non-profit's technology over eight years. They set up an effective email system, secure remote access, and HIPAA-compliant database protection for our sensitive client health data. Their team fixed both major and subtle tech issues, optimized our equipment to last longer, and implemented reliable backups. With over 100 staff serving the Inwood-Washington Heights community, we valued their responsive service and understanding of non-profit needs. More than just tech support, they became true partners in our community mission.

In 2020, we engaged Strategic Response Systems (SRS) to address team collaboration and data security challenges, enabling us to concentrate on our construction projects. SRS efficiently resolved these concerns, ensuring seamless operations and minimizing disruptions to our productivity. Their continuous user training and responsive technical support empowered our team and increased our productivity. We wholeheartedly endorse SRS, as they surpassed our expectations by providing peace of mind, streamlined collaboration, and enhanced data security. SRS has undeniably become our trusted IT partner.

I was employed as a Network Manager at DesignWorks Jewelry Group (later became a part of Tache Jewelry), a well-established diamond company that required hardware, software, and network upgrades starting from 2004. To assist in this project, we interviewed a few prospective consultants. SRS stood out from the rest with their collaborative and innovative spirit and forward-thinking ideologies. SRS became our partner in this project as we worked together to implement new firewalls, switches, and network cabling. We set up imaging and deployed new workstations loaded with updated OS and applications to all employees. We installed a new Exchange email system, external DNS, and VPN access into the company. SRS's skilled technological expertise allowed for quick project completion. Even after the project was completed, SRS provided ongoing support to ensure our success. SRS became our go-to for all network-related tasks and projects going forward. One of those additional projects was to build a remote office network from the ground up in Manhattan's Diamond District. SRS assisted in configuring the network and a P2P internet connection between our offices. The company was grateful and very satisfied with the services that SRS provided. I recommend SRS for all phases of network system implementation, support, security, and consultation.

For nearly a decade, SRS managed our systems at Chado Raph Rucci.

SRS connected our factory to our SoHo headquarters, established disaster recovery and business continuity plans, and promptly addressed issues, even on weekends and holidays. With SRS, our systems stayed secure, providing peace of mind. Their transparent fixed-rate pricing ensured predictability. We highly recommend SRS for their exceptional past service and commitment to clients.

We founded Royalty Solutions Corp in 2009 and had already been working with Strategic Response Systems for many years with our first company. They got us up and running with the latest technologies and systems and helped us migrate to the data center environment, even working with the software vendors to help us make a seamless transition. Even more remarkable is that we have had no security breaches across our three companies in 20 years of service. Support requests were handled on time and gave us the confidence that we would be able to get in touch with them anytime, either via email, text message, or phone. With Strategic Response Systems serving as both our MSP and Cloud Service provider, it ensured that we would get quick response times and allowed us to focus on our core business and doing what we do best.

Memory Lane Music Group has worked with Strategic Response Systems for over 20 years, when they first responded to an IT emergency call. We ended up hiring them as our Managed Service Provider and eventually as our Cloud Services Provider, and they helped us grow through the launch of two additional companies. Strategic Response Systems provided us with all the advantages of an in-house IT team without the payroll expense. They have always provided us with support within minutes of an urgent phone call, regardless of the time of day or night. We don’t get a support ticket; we get a call-back. It feels like they are part of the company because of how invested they are in our operations running smoothly. They migrated all our in-house data to the cloud without any downtime. Also, when we moved offices twice in the past 20 years, it was done without an interruption of services or my team’s productivity.

Seth Perlman

In 2006 Perlman & Perlman reached out to Strategic Response Systems to help them meet the needs of this new era with updates to its IT infrastructure and implementing a strategic cloud solution. The over-arching goal of the project was to remove all IT-related worries from business, so that the business could focus on its core priorities to serve customers effectively and grow. Working with Strategic Response Systems helped transform our company and branch offices into a true 21st century enterprise that now embraces technology for the security, reliability, productivity gains and ease of use that SRS’s Infrastructure-as-a Service offers, Perlman continued. It took patience on both sides to be sure, but the gains we have realized as a company and the training our staff has received have proven invaluable.
