Our non-profit organization, Broadway Grand Rapids, has worked with Shoreline for years and as technology continues to evolve and change, they have been there to guide us. From advanced security implementation to our successful cloud migration project, they have proactively advised us and walked us through it all. It's not just the big projects that they excel at! STS has been our wholistic IT partner keeping us running on a day to day basis as well. Their fast and friendly team always answers and responds quickly to our needs no matter how big or small. No matter your size or experience level, they are the ideal IT partner, and I can't recommend them enough.

I have worked with STS for many years. I can strongly recommend their team for your IT needs. Service is top notch, especially when a problem develops. When doing projects for us, we discuss before starting, they openly communicate with us during to keep us informed and finish the project quickly as possible. Each year, we review where we are currently at, the age of our equipment, projected needs for the next year, technology advances and security upgrades needed to protect our company.

STS has been managing our companies' equipment and network for a few years now. We couldn't be happier with their service. Fast and timely responses, efficient problem solving via remote access, and seamless transitions with little to no downtime during upgrades or additions to the network. Definitely give STS a chance if you're in the market for an IT company to help manage all your computer and network needs!

We have only been using Shoreline for a few months now, we switched over to them from another local tech company. The difference in company's is not comparable. If we put a ticket into shoreline they respond within 24 hours, it is usually the same day. Shoreline has amazing customer support; they remote into our computers and are very quick to solve our issues. If for some reason they cannot solve it just by remoting in we had Terri stop in within an hour to help us. We are very grateful for Shoreline, and we are very thankful for your team!

Mark and his team are excellent at what they do. They helped us with a large server upgrade and the transition was very easy on my staff with very little work interruption. I highly recommend Shoreline Technology Solutions.

We are a small office in Holland and have been using Shoreline for over 5 years. We have found them to offer proactive service and IT suggestions. The service is consistently fast and friendly. Because of solutions implemented by Shoreline we've had reliable remote access which has allowed us to be more flexible in our work. The hardware Shoreline installed has been quality and long-lasting. It is clear in all they do that Shoreline takes IT security seriously and we feel well protected by the systems they've put in place. Overall, we have been very pleased with the great relationship we've built with Shoreline and consider them a true partner in functioning at our best.

Shoreline Technology Solutions has been our IT specialists since 2016 and they took us from a very antiquated system to something that works for our busy lives at Harbor Humane Society. We have over 5 years of great support with Shoreline. They are extremely fast and typically address our concerns within the same day. They offer proactive services and suggestions. They are helping us with our long term IT security goals as well as continuing to maintain and update our equipment and systems as needed. We highly recommend Shoreline Technology Solutions to meet your business needs!

Shoreline Technology had been with us for 7 plus years. They have done a great job of moving us to a reliable system environment, moving us to new platforms, responding to our urgent requests and providing us with counsel on system development. They manage all of our devices, wireless and system server, and all of our user devices. They always respond to our needs quickly and we value having them as a trusted valued added partner. With lots of sensitive and confidential information on our servers, its great to know we have a partner who is looking out for our best interests and the interests of the church. We would not want to be with any other IT provider. We were and it was not a pleasant relationship. I would recommend to any company looking to have a value added partners, look no further Shoreline Technology is the answer.

Basic IT break-fix issues are unpredictable and sometimes maddening - especially if they're left to accumulate over time. A dependable and competent resource for IT is very important for us and has been surprisingly hard to find, but that’s exactly what we have now after signing up with Shoreline. They're responsive, professional and efficient (and nice to be around!). Our productivity has increased and downtime has virtually disappeared.

I'm an IT professional that supports a large company (23 locations) by myself. There are times, especially when it comes to Server work, that I need someone that I can call for assistance. I have worked with Shoreline for about 6 years now and they are GREAT! Very professional, quick to respond and very reasonably priced. Because I work in the industry, I have dealt with many companies like Shoreline and I can honestly say that they are a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for someone to support your technology, look no further because these guys are the best!

Mark and his team at Shoreline Tech have supported our company for over 8 years. They are very responsive to any calls for support and can always find a solution to our communication issues. They continue to support our older server and have already laid plans for the upgrade due in 2023. As our machines age and technology advances, communication becomes more difficult between our workstations and the machine controls. They remotely repair our system when necessary so that we can maintain our production schedule. I highly recommend the team at Shoreline and have no desire to search for another IT service. Their service and knowledge are top notch.

We hired Shoreline Technology Solutions (STS) in January 2021 to be our managed IT provider and migrate our current IT environment onto a brand new, cloud-based system utilizing Microsoft 365. Our situation was challenging and unique, but Mark and his team didn’t hesitate to take on the challenge. During the planning stages, STS was very proactive in making recommendations for items we never considered. They helped us plan and think through all stages of the migration process. We couldn’t have asked for a more seamless and easy transition. Downtime was minimal and any end-user issues were met with friendly, efficient service. Now that we’re through the migration, our organization is happily working under the new system with great efficiency. We look forward to a long-standing relationship with STS as our IT service provider.

So grateful for the STS help at a crazy time right before the election. The internet outage at the office meant that I couldn’t issue ballots to people who were stopping in all day long to vote early. Kyle not only helped me set up my computer to work off my phone’s hotspot, but he came back later to network the new laptops together for the election day festivities—something that I just didn’t have time for.

We have very much enjoyed our relationship with STS. Their people know the IT industry and develop IT solution that meet our need. We find their pricing to be very competitive, great value. Their staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They are responsive to our needs. Appreciate remote access during these COVID times. I highly recommend STS you won't be disappointed.

Appenx Inc

October 13, 2020

Appenx Inc. started using Shoreline Technology about a year ago. We had a patchwork of old computer systems in place (with many failures) prior to their involvement and were in the beginning stages of implementing a new all encompassing business system. We needed help with a new server and workstations that were more dependable, setting up more modern email, working with our legacy business system provider and backups to ensure our data is secure. We interviewed many local IT companies that all had positive attributes but felt Mark and his team had the expertise, honest feedback and reasonable pricing to fit our needs. The Shoreline team has done a great job with our goals above and helping us keep some of our older systems going (which has really helped spread out some of the costs), implementing new systems and communicating with our other IT related vendors to keep things running smoothly and let us focus on our business rather than our computers. I would highly recommend Shoreline Tech!

Ok Tire has been using Shoreline for over 15 years. We recommend them to anyone looking for an IT service that responds promptly when you contact them and their Equipment is high quality at a good value. Our server they built just keeps on going...Mark meets with us on a regular basis to go over what our plans are so they can stay on top of our IT needs. They are a great bunch of guys!

I can't say enough good things about Shoreline Technology Solutions. They have been great to work with and are always responsive to our requests. They were life saving when we had to move all of our employees from working in the office to working remotely. They had us up and running within a day. They also helped us purchase new wireless hardware, new computers and upgrade our computer software. We are glad to have them as our IT professionals!
