Client Testimonials

ICG has helped us update our technology, and better utilize our business systems, specifically our storage, VMware, Horizon software, and architecture. It’s nice to have such a knowledgeable group on our side.
Jeff Hazelwood - CTO, Beach Company
Fourth Shift was unstable and all supporting systems were as well. We were down several times a week thus negatively affecting our manufacturing facility. I contracted with ICG to perform a health check of our systems and then for Fourth Shift Managed services. Now, we have a stable and efficient ERP system that meets our business growth and FDA regulatory requirements. We truly value ICG’s partnership.
Bob Hinz - VP Operations, Medica Corp.
Our Fourth Shift ERP was unstable and not providing what the business needed. The system was not performing and management was concerned that it was not a move-forward platform for the business. ICG worked with us to determine our issues from the IT systems to the processes on the shop floor. They standardized and stabilized our IT and Fourth Shift systems and now the system can be what we need to move the business forward.
Scott Craddick - CFO, Jetta Corporation
After decades of operating our business on software custom-written in-house, ICG was there to help us research suitable ERP software products available and choose the best fit to meet our future needs. The support provided during the transition to Infor Visual has been steady and responsive as we adapt our manufacturing processes. After several years of IT support, we knew we could count on ICG’s experience to help us take on this big project.
