Tech Soft 3D Case Study
“From that initial conversation, iTek were invited to submit a proposal for the IT support for Tech Soft 3D across their North American and European sites. At the time, iTek had only been up and running for about 12 months, so this was a massive opportunity for us.”

Castle Park School Case Study
“IT in schools has come a long way since my day!” jokes iTek Computer Solutions MD Ben Mitchinson, “Back then it was overhead projectors using acetate sheets and bulky TVs that weighed a tonne being wheeled-in to the classroom so that we could watch some science programme on the VHS video player.”
