Our People Make the Difference
We’re proud of our relationships with our valued clients. Below is feedback we recently received.

“I am writing to you to express my appreciation to the project team members from Nexus. As you know, we contracted Nexus to help us in planning and migrating from a hosted POP3 environment to an in house, clustered, Exchange 2007 environment.

Your Technical Team member’s technical knowledge in Microsoft technologies and Exchange migration techniques in particular is one of the reasons why the project went so smoothly and felt like a "no-brainer" toward the end of the project. Our company is now experiencing the benefits of an updated email platform and enhanced productivity within our company.

Your Project Manager was right on top of all the detail work of this project. His efforts in establishing a baseline project plan, then executing, and managing to that plan were key to delivering an operational email platform with minimal downtime and/or issues. He was “in the trenches” with the whole team to make sure we stayed focused and performed our tasks on time.

Finally your Account Manager was willing to listen to our needs and requirements. He customized a workable package that suited our needs when other vendors only wanted to follow a cookie cutter project management methodology. As a result, we successfully moved our email platform to an in house solution and integrated into our IP Telephony solution.

Please relate my sincere thanks to everyone on the team for the successful completion of this project!”
