Why? What have they done? Pray tell us so that we can be better informed....

Accessing their website is a tad slow.

Just incredibly arrogant, think they know it all, and shout you down instead of listening!

Actually, yes!! I've had them on the phone too!

Extract from SystemForce's website,

"System Force I.T has the ability to view and control a clients machine"

They've only just discovered MSN Messenger then!

EE sold us under-specified & overpriced kit back in 2002. And actually tried to stuff second-hand switches in our cabs that had Open University stickers all over them.....

.....will never have them back inside this building again.

Yeah their site is a bit of a mish-mash of stuff isn't it? Doesn't inspire me in any way shape or form.

I was contacted by system force a few weeks ago.

Basically they phoned to TELL me I had to open ports on our firewall for Connexions staff, whose systems they support. A more professional company would have politely ASKED me if I was prepared to do this for them.

Their arrogance and rudeness was unrivalled. They just think they know best. Some bloke called, Jez offered to "talk me though it, bit by bit" which was somewhat patronising!!

I've blocked their domain name from our email system and refuse to deal with them directly.

On their web design page they list software they use...

My favourites are Dream Weaver and Coral Draw

What is "Advacne Server Setup"?

Client Side Technology includes AJAX. Are they into cleaning PCs?
