A3 CONNECT, INC.
IRMO, SC

Since the beginning, it has been our goal to increase the profitability and productivity of our clients through the application of smart technology. From our headquarters in Columbia and additional offices in Greenville and Charleston, South Carolina, as well as Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina, Atlanta, Georgia, and soon Chattanooga, Tennessee, we have served over 2,500 clients across the Southeast. A3's comprehensive service and innovative solutions have been internationally recognized.  Still involved with the company today as a chairman, Joe named his son, Brian Thomas, as A3's President and Chief Executive Officer in 2012. His role with the team began as Vice President of Sales starting in 2006, and Brian continues to grow the company in his new position, always making sure to keep the company vision in mind. Under Brian's leadership, A3 was recognized in April of 2017 as one of America’s fastest growing systems integrators for the fifth consecutive year. A3 Communications has built a reputation on quality service and products for over 25 years and continues to be a leading systems integrator for the Southeast. We're committed to using "best of breed" technology as the criteria for the products we offer, and provide a single source solution for the region's technology needs. A3 Communications has been one of the easiest service providers to work with. We have worked on so many projects with A3, especially this summer. Within a two month time period, A3 did 10 years of work for our district. As soon as the migration project was complete, we immediately started another district-wide project to upgrade surveillance cameras and access control at the schools. Without A3, we couldn’t have done this work. The physical security installation looks excellent. We had our walkthrough on that part this afternoon. Only one physical install issue was identified, and Ryan addressed it immediately. It was one inside camera too close to a fire extinguisher sign; we called and found out it had to be 18 inches away to not obstruct the view of the fire extinguisher sign. Ryan has already relocated that camera so we are in compliance. I’ve walked in unannounced throughout the project and always found your guys working diligently. School admin who were in and around the building for a good portion of the install have also commented to me on the level of professionalism observed during the install. Communication at every level has been great. The guys on site have been right on time consistently; when alternate timing needed to be arranged it was communicated timely and effectively. I will still be working with Darrin to finish out some system configuration and a few other things that are already in the works. Thank you guys for the quality work to this point; it is greatly appreciated. A3 Communications always does a great job of offering innovative solutions. I know that we can rely on them for all of our technology needs. Their local support and competitive pricing are hard to beat. I highly recommend this company. A3 has provided us with excellent support services Our goal was to find a vendor that we could depend on for quick support with a large knowledge base of different products. We have a small technology department and need the expertise A3 technicians provide. We felt A3 offered a high quality of service at a cost efficient price. A3 has provided us with excellent support services. I can pick up the phone and call anytime to ask questions or for help. We are immensely grateful to A3 for working with us and providing such fantastic internet! I could not be any happier with how helpful and professional the A3 staff was last year and continues to be this year. I will forever praise A3 to anyone who asks me about IT solutions! I want to take a moment to praise A3 Communications for their work on a recent project for McCormick County Schools. Chad Hendrix, Project Manager and Vice President of Engineering, provided an outstanding and professional job from start to finish. Thank you to all who were involved for your help, time and effort to get this project on track. A3 has helped me tremendously with the questions I have had. Thank you. I truly appreciate all your training and patience with helping me learn the new global system. I'm writing with regard to the installation and configuration of the data network in the newly expanded Charleston County Detention Center. Comprised of two Cisco 6500 series core chassis and three 4500 series floor switches, two wireless controllers and almost 100 wireless access points, this project has been one of the most ambitious network installations in our history. Given that network installations are typically handled in-house we were somewhat reluctant to contract out this work. However, our experience with A3 has been nothing but positive. Adam Arthur has been great to work with. The team was quick to grasp the operational constraints and security requirements of our detention center and in short order were making suggestions on how we could make improvements to our network design. In every case they were helpful and professional. As the technology project manager for the detention center expansion, with direct responsibility for five contractors and coordinating responsibility with numerous others, I learned early on that I could trust A3 to live up to their promises. I hope that we have the opportunity to work together in the future. There are so many projects and endeavourers we have accomplished together. Thank you so much for the kind cooperation, outstanding service and friendly advice that you consistently provide us. It is always a true pleasure to work with you.
