Smith and Wise - it's all in our days work
Unlike many other companies in Ireland in the online sector, we have never believed in gimmicky company names which mean nothing, or forcing clients to always use email to communicate with us. Nor have we started hate campaigns against other companies, as many have done in recent recessionary times.
We have always stood for what is right in the endless abyss of aimless IT companies. We have always stood for the rights of our clients, both in our dealings and their dealings with the big bad world in which we all live. We believe in quality of service, fair terms for both clients, suppliers, employees and partners.
We believe in never letting the standard drop, and always delivering the best quality service that our clients can honestly afford."
Corporate Objectives - September 2009
What We Offer
We offer many services, each far superior service in comparison to the majority of our competitors, in which our clients can save money on suppliers and have more time to focus on what is important to them. Within the scope of our website development, hosting and domains, servers, online public relations, online legal affairs and online marketing departments, our teams of professionals, from a variety of industries and our partnering firms all offer a higher standard of service than previously available in Ireland. Our directors personally look over each clients project and manage it at every stage with an eye for detail coming from years of experience. This has meant that projects can be delivered from start to finish without any major issues which require client intervention. The best way to understand how we are better is to follow the simple example we presented our first client with!
Before:
You + Supplier
+ Other Supplier + Other Supplier + Solicitor
= Lots of emails, lots of phone calls and lots of money!
With Smith and Wise:
You + Smith and Wise (and third party suppliers and legal executives)
= Project gets delivered on time, without technical issues!
The Details
Now you would think that using this method will cost you extra, suppliers will get a bigger cut and Smith and Wise will charge a management fee. However, it really doesn't work like this. The simple fact is, online professionals, IT buffs and public relations companies very rarely like answering phonecalls or explaining tedious details. In a recent survey, we found that many IT companies would be willing to cut their costs by upto 50% if they never had to deal with customer queries or complaints. When all these savings are added up, complete with our agreements with legal and advertising sector companies, you end up saving quite a favourable amount. Just take a look at these examples below*:
