IT Support Built Around Local Unions
At ComSolutions, we know that you want to lead a local union that serves its members well, keeps important records organized, and gives staff the tools they need to do their jobs, but technology problems can quickly get in the way of that responsibility.
This means that you need an IT partner who understands how important quick and reliable access to member records, dispatch or referral systems, communications, office technology, and day-to-day support can be to your operation. The most common problem you will face is not simply that something stops working, but that when it does, your staff may be unable to help members, access important information, or keep essential processes moving. This can leave you frustrated, concerned about delays, and wondering whether your current IT support truly understands what is at stake when your systems go down.
We believe you should not have to be an IT expert yourself to know whether your union’s technology is being properly supported. We understand how disruptive technology problems can be when your staff is trying to serve members, which is why we provide proactive monitoring and maintenance, cybersecurity protection, reliable backup and recovery, guaranteed rapid response times, and an experienced team that works to keep your systems available, secure, and working the way your organization needs them to.
