What Our Clients
Are Saying
“It's been a great blessing to have UniverseIT handle all our IT needs. Their technical know-how coupled with their excellent customer service is unparalleled.”
Kenneth Omoruyi

“UniverseIT guided the implementation of our Student Information System. We had tried to implement a different SIS on our own with poor results. UniverseIT were truly expert guides. They are what you expect from an IT resource, competent and responsive. But more than that, they are genuinely good folks who care about their customers. They let us know from the beginning that they were there to help us with any of our IT concerns and they have! I would highly recommend them and give them six stars if I could.”
Bob Stephens

“We have worked on several projects over the last 3yrs with the team at UniverseIT. Working in marketing, we often need to collaborate with the IT teams to make sure things work together the way they are supposed to. The UniverseIT team has been the most knowledgeable IT team I have worked with. I recommend them to all my clients that need IT/ Business Intelligence solution in place for their business that really work.”
Scott Cole

“UniverseIT did a great job in getting our back office infrastructure up and running and allowed us to focus on our core priorities. When we needed engineering help that wasn’t in there area of expertise, they referred us to a partner that turned out to be an ideal fit. It’s unique to see a company help in this way. They are responsive, supportive and understand how to help you manage your IT cost. Highly recommend them!”

“I initially contacted UniverseIT over two years ago to get an idea on the type of services they offer. From that time to a few months ago, I have contacted Joe and met with him on many occasions to get his feedback on my startup company's needs and services that his company provides. What I gather from these meetings is that he is truly looking out for the best interest of my business and IT needs. Furthermore, his staffs are great to work with. These are the reasons why I sign up with Universal IT a few months ago as my IT partner moving forward with my startup business.”
