What Real Clients Have To Say
I would like to take this opportunity to endorse the IT services of Crystal IT Solutions, who tendered for, and won the right to build and support the Goldlinq computer network.
GoldLinQ is responsible for the design, construction, operations and maintenance of the Gold Coast’s light rail system – the largest public/private infrastructure project the Gold Coast has seen. We are also responsible for maintaining up-to-date briefs with Government and other major stakeholders, and so, we have a critical reliance on our IT systems, in terms of functional reliability, uptime and data accessibility, from both inside the office and when on the road.
Crystal IT were responsible for building our entire IT network from day one, and continue to provide us with a fantastic level of ongoing support on a monthly basis. We know that we can call on them at any time and get the answer or solution we need, with a minimum of fuss, and for us, that is Gold!
A professional outfit who know their stuff and have the right attitude.

Harcourts Broadbeach Mermaid has been using the services of Crystal Integrated IT Solutions for many years. We have found their knowledge, service and care for us as a business to be outstanding.
When Covid hit and we needed to have staff work remotely, Crystal IT suggested we use SharePoint. This has been a gamechanger for us and by far the best IT solution we have implemented. Crystal IT explained the whole process very clearly and the implementation was very straightforward.
SharePoint allows everyone in the business to have access to the files they need wherever they are. It keeps everything in one place and makes the whole business more efficient.
Sharepoint is a much cheaper option than maintaining an onsite Server and the savings are significant. I would have no hesitation in recommending SharePoint and Crystal IT to anyone who is considering this type of solution.

Crystal IT have been a great find for our company, they are prompt and extremely professional, both rare commodities in business. One of the best things is that they explain what they are doing, why and in as much detail as I am capable of absorbing, how, which is fabulous because it teaches and also ensures that we are happy with what has been done and aids in understanding the necessity to have done it. They discuss the options, the expected outcomes and proposed future growth required to maintain optimal outcomes.

Crystal IT have been our IT support team for since 2000, and have grown with us from the time we were a small operation to the present, where we are Australia wide. Over that time, our IT needs have been ever changing and the Crystal team have been there to provide new solutions to cater to our growing demands and staff numbers. We have never had a major or minor system crash resulting in any downtime or lost data, and I attribute this to Crystal’s great maintenance of our systems. Most recently, they managed the whole project of migrating us to the cloud, and I have to say, that the entire experience was a painless one, which went off without a hitch. We now have a number of added features which we couldn’t achieve when we were based on-premises, and furthermore, our IT budget has seen a significant reduction in hardware expenditure and we will see the benefits for a long time to come. I have no hesitation in highly recommending their prompt and professional services.

Many thanks to Mark and Sarah at Crystal IT Solutions.
Our replacement PC and transfer of all programs/files was undertaken out of hours. All the programs and files are working correctly with much better and efficient use of memory and fully backed up to the cloud and portable drive.
In 10 years our business has never loss one day of functioning because of the quality of the systems installed and the maintenance provided by Crystal IT Solutions.
Mark also takes the time to explain everything he does and why which is a great attribute for the novice IT customer.

Mark, Sarah and the team at Crystal IT are our go-to people for all our IT needs. Mark evaluated our existing system when it was due for an update, provided a logical, cost-effective solution, and our IT has never run better. Since being under the care of Crystal, we’ve had absolutely minimal downtime which is critical to our business. We know we can always get an honest appraisal of a situation from them and will always be told if we don’t really need something – totally refreshing! We can’t recommend them highly enough, and in fact do refer many of our valued clients to them as we feel they’re a true business partner. We had tried the services of a number of IT providers in the past, and Crystal is so far superior to any other that we’ve never looked back. Reliable, honest, efficient – they’re the best out there.

Crystal IT was recommended to us as we were having continual problems with our IT. We have used them ever since and they are amazing. They sorted out all of our problems and we rarely have any issues. If we do, they are straight onto it and they fix it. They understand our systems and they have a wealth of knowledge about IT. I wouldn’t use anyone else. They are great people to deal with.

It has been a most reassuring experience dealing with people who are quick to respond, professional in their approach and experts in their field of endeavour.

We have had Crystal IT looking after the IT network and computer systems of the centre, for many years and have found their level of service, their responsiveness and their attention to detail, nothing short of exemplary. We have never had an issue which their staff could not resolve within a short space of time, and the staff are always very polite, professional and on-time.

Hospital Television Rentals engaged Crystal IT to undertake the support and management of our Gold Coast, Head Office IT infrastructure nearly 12 months ago (December 2011) and we have been absolutely delighted with the service we have received from everyone at Crystal IT since then. Not only have they become a valued and reliable service provider to us but Mark and his team have become trusted and very much appreciated advisers to myself and our Company as we move forward with our national IT reforms and the introduction of new technologies. I would like to extend my personal thanks to Mark and all at Crystal IT for the service we have received and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering an IT support company.

As an SME, operating over several sites and relying heavily on computers and the information they generate for all aspects of our business, data security and reliable backup are fundamental. We initially signed up with Crystal IT many years ago, purely to provide us with an off-site backup. The costs are negligible, particularly in the light of the risks against which they insure. While we only signed up for an off-site backup service, we have been surprised how we have used the service. Not only has it ‘saved us ‘on one occasion by enabling us to be up and running pretty much straight away after a crash, but it has given us remote access to last night’s backup to access files we were not able to access any other way, immediate restoration of files accidentally deleted and also served as a ‘virtual server’, storing data during a longer-term outage. Mark, Sarah and their team provide a prompt and professional service, assisting us with other issues at times unrelated to the service we purchase. We sleep better at night knowing that Crystal IT are working away taking care of the day’s data, preserving and securing it for us.

The Team at Crystal IT are just the best! They really know their stuff and nothing was too much trouble. Their manager, Mark, is a great communicator. He clearly and carefully explained where we were with our system and offered us options on the best way to fix our issues. Best of all, not only did everything go to plan but the bill was exactly as quoted! I will definitely be using Mark and the Crystal IT team from now on.

“Crystal IT have supported Exodas Pty Ltd from Building Servers to everyday minor phone support. They took time to understand our issues, gained a thorough understanding of our set-up, our plans for growth and our needs going forward. They have a friendly, professional and business focused approach and no job is to big or to small. They also spotted opportunities for us to take advantage of our existing IT systems and gain efficiencies with little or no additional investment. Exodas needed an IT company that could take phone calls and assist with problems almost immediately, Crystal IT have performed above and beyond our expectations. Without Crystal IT Exodas would not have the IT systems it currently has, nor the day to day IT expertise that we require to run a busy Transport Company.”

He also has a fond of insight and opinion regarding great places to visit, great places to eat and great wines.

William Powell - Managing Director
The efficient management of information and communications in a timely manner has been a requirement of business as long as there has been business!
What has changed in recent years is the volume of information to be processed and the expectation for instant communication – and still all to be done in a timely manner.
Crystal IT, through the Google Applications of Drive, Mail & Calendar has taken the speed and processing of our business information & communications to a new level, equal to and exceeding the expectations of the industry we operate in. Their expertise, determination and willingness to accommodate our individual requirements, are the qualities for which we have no hesitation in recommending to prospective clients.
With information and communication, it’s a classic “sink or swim” situation, don’t drown in the burden of modern expectation-learn to swim!!!

We have been using Crystal IT for more than four years. If you want an IT company who cares about your production schedule, who cares whether your staff can do the job you pay them to without interruption, and who turn up on time when they say they will, call Crystal IT. If you want someone who will muck you around, take too long and charge like a wounded bull call someone else. Plain and simple. They arrive. They fix. They leave. Its amazing and very cost effective. Technicians are friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to be there helping you. I do feel bad when Paul comes in in his business shirt and has to crawl around on our workshop floor (sorry Paul) but he never flinches, he just gets on with the job. Thank you Paul and Sarah for supporting us.
