"MacroNet has been our go-to partner for infrastructure services. The highly-available data and voice network that they designed has been critical to the performance of our product for our clients. They are always responsive to our needs and know our business"

A SaaS leader focused on Fortune 100 Clients
"The team at MacroNet knows how to manage the carriers and how raise the level of support that we receive. Although the carrier account team members have changed multiple times, the MacroNet team is consistent and keeps our projects and account on track."

Financial Services Firm
"We have locations around the world and MacroNet sourced a variety of options for each location and worked with us to nail down a global WAN strategy. They also helped to identify the right SaaS solution for Telecom Expense Management, which has given us a great view into all wireline and wireless inventory."

Global Manufacturer
"MacroNet was highly recommended and so we invited them in for a discussion prior to moving forward with our colocation bid. It’s amazing how much visibility they have into the marketplace of suppliers for both data center and all other related services. They brought up many other areas of consideration that we might have otherwise overlooked and helped select the right options at super competitive price points."

Global Media Firm
"We wanted some unbiased third-party insight into what a long-term strategy might be for our critical data and voice services. The MacroNet team proved to be incredibly knowledgeable about our existing services, complex contract structure, and bills and worked with us to roll out a strategy that is proving to dramatically lower our costs and add a substantial amount of diversity."

Leading Health Care Provider
"We have locations around the world and MacroNet sourced a variety of options for each location and worked with us to nail down a global WAN strategy. They also helped to identify the right SaaS solution for Telecom Expense Management, which has given us a great view into all wireline and wireless inventory."

Global Manufacturer
"We knew we wanted to move to a cloud-based phone system and contact center, but MacroNet listened to our business strategy and opened our eyes to some great options. Today, we are much more nimble and have a much better interaction with our customers as a result of their recommendations."

Medical Device Company
"The move of the corporate office was a very big deal. The MacroNet team helped design a WAN solution that included builds for diverse private and public WAN links into the new site. The project was managed so that we were comfortable with the deployment schedule, so much so that we decided to get rid of the legacy phone system and roll out a company-wide UCaaS solution that was ready for day 1 in the new facility. MacroNet was a true extension of the team and made this happen."
