Bricker & Eckler
“I have worked with Parallel Technologies for 20 years. When Bricker & Eckler needed to replace its aged phone system, Parallel Technologies provided the expertise and advice we needed to implement a much better solution, greatly improving the efficiency of our attorneys and staff in responding to client needs over the telephone. Their service, support and training are second to none. Most recently, Parallel assisted with a complex office move involving relocating one office and opening an additional location both within a thirty day window. The project was well planned, well supported and implementation was seamless. I know I can always count on Parallel to provide state-of-the-art insights into telephony and great service. They are a wonderful partner for our business.”

With Parallel’s help, we’ve begun to implement solutions that will drive enhanced technological capabilities for the organization while delivering very significant cost savings.”
