Overall it's very good. Previously we have sourced most, if not all, of our security products via Bytes. I have always found them to be highly personable, with great knowledge in the security space especially when sourcing something new. I like being able to sit down with someone in a relaxed atmosphere and have a conversation that doesn't pressure me into buying a product. The Bytes team manage to do this effortlessly, and show genuine interest in what we do as a company and what we are trying to achieve.
Gavin Neville, Information Security Associate at Brewin Dolphin
Jim Titmuss, Group IT & Business Systems Director at ASCO

ASCO used a number of software partners before moving to Bytes. The difference we see is that Bytes bring a range of knowledge, skills and experience across a broad spectrum of both software and services. This has allowed ASCO to move forward quickly as an organisation and adopt new technology with less risk. A good example of this has been the transition of our servers and storage to Microsoft Azure. This has been supported by several services from Bytes to speed up the process, reduce risk and manage the costs. We look forward to a long relationship with Bytes.
Jim Titmuss, Group IT & Business Systems Director at ASCO
Nathan Burke, Product Director at Intelligence22

Thanks to Bytes AWS, this project has been a huge success. We entered the process not knowing how to approach this sort of task. Bytes AWS created a detailed scope of work and this level of accuracy helped the decision-making process massively – it supplied a clear breakdown of costs and hours against tasks. Working alongside the Bytes team has strengthened our team, with weekly video calls and screen shares helping enhance our own knowledge of AWS solutions. I am very confident that without Bytes AWS, we would not have the high standard of infrastructure that we have today.
Nathan Burke, Product Director at Intelligence22
Jonathan Hillyer, Group Head of IT, Nenplas

When the requirement for a new secure web browsing solution in the business arose, I approached Bytes after being let down by another supplier. Poppy immediately engaged with us, facilitating all of the various contacts that we had with both the Bytes’ internal teams and the chosen vendor. She made herself available at all times, chairing any Teams meetings that were held and gently driving the project along, managing all of the paperwork and other requirements from both sides. Bytes assisted us in choosing the most suitable vendor for our project based on our stated needs and are managing the process of moving towards our goal.
Jonathan Hillyer, Group Head of IT, Nenplas
Matthew Treavis, Head of ICT at Oxford University

Thanks to Bytes, we were able to support the Oxford Covid-19 Government Response tracker with a secure, stable and flexible cloud hosting platform which helped our developers to quickly build a working site and API. Data from this project is being used by international media and research groups to analyse government responses to the pandemic and choosing a cloud platform allowed us to scale services to meet this international interest. It has gone live with meaningful data in a matter of weeks and has helped our researchers and students quickly go from data collection to meaningful research outputs. We couldn’t have built this so quickly without a cloud platform and your expertise.
