Hard working "dudes" who always provide the best of service. I've worked with ESS for years for my Microsoft Business Standard products and assistance and will work with no other. It's great to deal with a company and talk with a live person . This company is simply "top drawer".

Was very helpful when it came to finding a solution for me and providing me with an expedited quote (even had a new customer discount!) After purchasing I had a few questions and Abhi was there to help me figure it out. Truly a wonderful experience.

Ordered Windows 10 for my outdated pc. The order was easy and fast! however I could not use the download as my pc was too old and would not support it. I was promptly given a refund! Great Customer Service. I Will definitely use them again and recommend them!

The ESS team was easy to work with and responded quickly to questions we had in both the planning and implementation phases of our migration to Office 365. I asked many questions during the process and both the sales rep and system engineer were always happy to answer with any information they could provide. In addition to a smooth migration, ESS was available for questions and minor issues that occurred post migration-in other words, they stood behind the work they performed.

They helped us migrate MS CRM 4.0 to MS CRM 365. It was rocky at first but as the project went along things got better. All of the data was migrated to our requirements and I am very happy with the end result. The project was finished in November and they check up every now and then as well to make sure all is good. I plan on using them again for some possible development needs. Thank you for the hard work!

We have worked with Abhi at Enterprises Software Solutions a number of times over the years and we've had nothing but great experiences with his service and the products we've purchased from him.

ESS was extremely helpful in providing guidance on how to transition my Microsoft Office License from one computer to another. Without their assistance I would not have been able to do so. The guidance provided by Microsoft was very poor.

Aude was very helpful. I purchased Microsoft Office but had a lot of trouble trying to access excel and word. Thankfully Aude called and assisted me with the whole process. I am ever so grateful to him and give him the highest marks. Thank you very much!!
