Customer Service!
I think the biggest thing is customer service, whenever we contact CD Technology, we always get a live person. Any computer issues we have are always fixed in a timely manner. CD Technology is better than our previous IT company because you are able to get a live person on the first call, no waiting and rarely no call-backs. I would recommend them because of the response time, no waiting and same day service if needed to come on site
