Real feedback from organizations that rely on ANC Group for network security.

We contracted ANC Group to assist us with network upgrades and Windows 10 deployment. Our assigned engineer is adept and has done a terrific job of mentoring us through these changes. We are very grateful for our partnership with ANC Group and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them as a caring and competent IT support solution.

Barbara H.
Director of Technology - Simpsonville, SC

ANC Group has been with us since the beginning! Billy was our first contact and met with us before we even knew what we needed. ANC Group analyzed the situation, made recommendations, and then followed through with installation and great customer service. They have continued to be our go- to company for network equipment and managed services for three years now. We at Lakes and Bridges Charter School are very appreciative of ANC Group and especially Billy, Jody, and Nathan!

Office Manager - EPC Power

ANC Group has been our IT Support for years. I am always pleased to know that no matter what the problem may be, I can count on them get on it right away. I just sent an email to the helpdesk. In a matter of minutes, I will receive an acknowledgement of my email with a ticket number, an ETA on when I can expect a tech to contact me, and a link to view my ticket online, if I need to do so. Everything rolls right along perfectly. The techs are very knowledgeable and professional. I love that they will check with you before they remote in just to be sure that you’re available, or not in the middle of something important. In and out and you’re up and running. Can’t ask for better service. Always two thumbs up!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Shykil Chandler from ANC Group during a recent on-site visit at my workplace, and I can’t say enough about the level of professionalism he displayed. Shykil was extremely courteous, knowledgeable, and efficient in handling everything that needed attention. He took the time to ensure all issues were addressed thoroughly and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and values customer service. I highly recommend him and appreciate the excellent support he provided!

Thank you, Shykil and ANC team!

Patrick May of ANC Group resolve a complex calendar sync issue for our organization with speed and precision.No back-and-forth, no dropped threads, just puree professionalism and timeliness.

In my opinion as,  if you need a managed IT partner that actually performs under pressure, ANC Group is it.

We often have the pleasure of dealing with Michelle Gajdalo. You can tell that she is very busy, but she always responds quickly to answer our questions. There was a time when we were very concerned about an issue we had and didn’t know what to do. Michelle was able to resolve the problem in a way that was quite simple in hindsight. We had overlooked something right under our noses, and she immediately noticed it and brought it to our attention. Thank you, Michelle.

Speak Life

ANC Group has been great to work with (for several years now). Just this week they assisted with a request. Like always, the communication was quick and effective, culminating in the resolution I needed, so that I could get my work completed before deadline. I work in a fast-paced, often unpredictable environment, you probably do, too. They’re great at understanding that, and work well to accommodate those types of schedules when addressing support issues.
