Jodi Bennett

Louis and his team go full out to give you exceptional service. When I first engaged louis at the end of last year. He went above and beyond to find a solution for me. We were struggling being a small business to find a service that would fit our needs. Being from an IT background i had to let go the reigns, so I could focus on my business. Louis and his team allowed me to do so. Good work Catalyst, throughly recommend any business that are going to the next stage of their growth.

Peter Morris

Cataylst has been taking care of our medium sized business with outstanding customer service for a while now. The type of customer service where everyone is happy to talk, explain things to those learning, can deal with changing priorities, explain options rather than trying to upsell everything, schedules pickup's/drop offs quickly and fast remote fixes. This level of customer service & attitude is so rare these days.

Sensational support and service. Called with and urgent inquiry at 7 am on a Sunday morning and by that afternoon they were on the job. Louis was at my office installing a new server until 2 am the next morning.
