Two days after we installed our new phone system from NetAccess – I knew we had made the right decision. Some of our managers are old school and we encountered quite a bit of initial resistance from them. Within a week they were bragging about how much this would improve customer service; like it was their idea. When I say NetAccess did an excellent job, I mean it.
