Bio
Dr Stuart N.
I've had the privilege of working with Alex when (as CIO) I asked him to help on one of my projects to migrate our company's global coms to the Lync platform, and I cannot speak highly enough of his competency and professionalism. Someone with outstanding business focus and excellent communication skills, Alex has the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels in organizations through his impeccable knowledge of the market and deep understanding of Microsoft's Lync and UC communications solutions. Alex impressed me with his ability to rapidly assess situations and implement the necessary measures to transform even the most challenging scenarios into opportunities to solve our business needs. I can wholeheartedly recommend Alex to any organization in need of a successful, dynamic, insightful and results-driven leader.

I have been using VIA for my business telephone system since 2013 and I cannot recommend this company enough because the service provided has brought a very smart and bespoke solution to my communication needs and it’s a no brainer when already using Office 365. The main reason why I wish to recommend Alex and Via is the flexibility of the system that allows you to develop and adapt to how your business is growing, even change or add location with ease. Which you don’t get with a fixed line, all this without reducing the quality of the telephone line. (it’s a must conversation at least)
