From The Client: Transform Venue Limited

Great Relationship

We’ve been supporting our good friends Jabez, Michelle and their amazing team at
Transform
for over 7 years. They even organised our director’s ski-themed wedding reception… in Dorset, in the middle of May. Quite an achievement.

IT Goals

The primary goals for
Transform
have always been a highly reliable email service, with beautifully branded HTML email signatures. They use Dropbox for file sharing and collaboration along with 3D tools like Sketchup. Over the years, we have helped with a wide spectrum of services including malware protection, calendar sharing and management solutions, SSD hardware upgrades, backups, macOS update management and a whole range of other general day-to-day assistance.

Delivering Value

As Jabez says below, our IT support for event managers delivers value by saving time and avoiding stressful issues. This is especially important in the creative sector: we’re here to help you keep focus on your vision for your client, not the day-to-day IT issues.

I contacted Purple computing in 2013 when we started Transform, as we felt we needed a Mac specialist to set up our hub and troubleshoot when any problems arrived.

In the years we have worked with them, they have been incredibly reactive and solved any problem in a timely and efficient manner. Their technicians are polite, knowledgable, diligent and very thorough.

The money we have very spent on Purple’s support has been easily recouped in saved work hours.
