We need fast response, dependability, structure and expertise

“ LJM Partners, Ltd. was founded in 1998 is a registered Commodity Trading Advisor and Commodity Pool Operator. LJM’s affiliate, LJM Funds Management, Ltd. was launched in 2012. Our firm has seen rapid growth over the last few years and with that, our demands and needs in IT have also grown. When looking for an IT group we sought after a company that could provide fast response, dependability, structure and expertise. Andromeda was introduced to us through our Chief Risk Officer who took it upon himself to find a third party IT provider for our firm. Andromeda’s services stood out to us with their dedicated point of contact for each account, helpdesk access/response times and the fact that they worked well with both Macs and PCs. I love the fact that when I call, I have one person I can speak with for all of my needs. On top of this, the technicians and engineers have been exceptional. They are always polite, helpful and provide quality work. We’ve put Andromeda through the test over and over with a variety of projects, including: an office expansion, enhanced data security projects, inventory tracking, an Office 365 migration, as well as, network projects and WiFi upgrades. Needless to say, the organization and attention to detail has helped these tasks run as seamlessly as possible. Our Account Team has even helped me create and implement an employee onboarding process, allowing us to be technically up and running from day one with new employees. I simply call Matt (our Account Coordinator) and let him know someone is joining our firm. He and the Andromeda team handle the rest and I can focus on all of our other internal tasks. Knowing that Andromeda takes care of the firm’s IT needs allows us more time for other tasks which is invaluable. ”

Connectivity and response time are critical to us

“Andromeda has handled our IT for a little over a year now. Working in commodity brokerage, we exchange data at all hours across global markets so it is incredibly important that we are up and running 24/7. When we made the decision to start looking for a new IT group, we knew we needed a team who could grow with us and respond to our fast paced needs. I felt like we were outgrowing our previous vendor. They took too long to get back to us on issues, didn’t really understand our market and it didn’t seem as though they were proactively guiding us. We interviewed a few IT firms but Andromeda stood out. I liked that they provided an action plan for us, gave me a single point of contact and that they were organized. Over the last year the attention to detail and planning Andromeda’s tech team puts into play have really impressed me. Our first big project was a server room upgrade and reorganization. This went off seamlessly. I’ve noticed fewer hardware issues which has directly increased productivity. We also implemented a new data backup & recovery solution. That was huge for us because not only is it required from a regulatory standpoint but because if we lost any ongoing or historical data it would be disastrous for us. Connectivity and response time are critical to us. The helpdesk is always responsive and knowledgeable. If we can’t get through immediately they get back to us right away and are always on the ball. Overall I am very happy with the service we get from Andromeda. It is great to work with a team that understands our needs as well as the demands of our industry.”

It is invaluable to have one vendor handling all of our technology needs.

“The first project Andromeda handled for our firm was implementing a new phone system in 2010. They handled our wiring, installed the system and fully trained our staff. Since then, our relationship has grown and we’ve entrusted Andromeda with all of our IT, phone and security needs. In 2016 we moved to our new building and Andromeda was able to make that transition as smooth and simple as possible. It is invaluable to have one vendor handling all of our technology needs. We’re lawyers, we aren’t IT pros. We need to focus all of our energy on our clients. Andromeda gives us that ability. They remove our discomfort and the ’unknown’ by breaking big decisions down into pieces we can understand. They understand our business, they guide us in the right directions and help us provide exceptional service to our clients. We would happily recommend Andromeda for all technology needs to any of our peers.”

They’re responsive and most importantly, they’re honest.

“We’ve been with Andromeda for over 15 years. They have the knowledge and expertise required to keep up with the demands of our three offices. They’ve been able to link our offices together seamlessly utilizing every technology we depend on. At the increasing speed with which we are required to respond to clients, accessibility is a must. Andromeda helps us stay on top of our day-to-day utilizing the advancements of technology–cell phones, iPads and remote access. They’re responsive and most importantly, they’re honest. I believe that they are very reasonable, and I think that they do a very good job.”

Prompt, knowledgeable and incredibly responsive

“In 2016 we decided it was time to find a new IT vendor, as our previous vendor did not communicate or deliver on promises. Andromeda had already been servicing our phone system for years so it made perfect sense to explore their IT services as well. If I can have one vendor handle multiple technologies in the office, I won’t pass up that opportunity! Andromeda has handled all of our IT for over a year now and their team is fantastic. The helpdesk is prompt, knowledgeable and incredibly responsive. Working in the distribution industry, I cannot afford downtime. Customers send in orders 24/7 and employees fill them around the clock. Andromeda’s technicians respond to and resolve our issues very quickly at all hours and even go the extra mile to improve our day to day functionality. Just last week we had a technician on site to do some work on our employee mobile phones and he noticed we could improve our wireless signal and speed with an equipment update. That type of guidance is truly priceless. I can trust that when a ticket or a project begins, it is in good hands. Additionally, having a dedicated account coordinator, who is my first point of contact and superior with follow through, ensures that my questions and/or issues will be resolved timely. Since switching to Andromeda, I can hand off technical tasks and focus on our business.  I’d recommend Andromeda to any business or professional looking for a technology partner and vendor.  ”

The truth is our expertise is Law; Andromeda’s is IT.

“Back in 2003 our office was dealing with an IT firm that we no longer believed in. We heard about Andromeda through a family friend and frankly, have not looked back since. They are dependable, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Having a partner that works with the multiple technologies and software applications our industry demands is key to keeping pace with our peers. Their ability to handle issues remotely keeps our productivity high and allows us to get back to work quickly. Their staff is professional and incredibly easy to work with. The truth is our expertise is Law; Andromeda’s is IT. Relying on Andromeda for all our IT needs is like having an older brother that knows how to fix anything!”
