We Serve a Wide Variety of Industries
Across most industries, IT remains a common thread. At DataStew, our experience stretches across many sectors, each with its unique challenges and nuances. DataStew thrives on customizing and bringing scalable solutions to your company's needs. DataStew is your Dallas IT Company for Security Systems and Managed Services.
Datastew has been an outstanding partner in our IT infrastructure projects and helped us keep up with the ever-changing cyber security environment. Datastew was able to deliver a customized solution that we were able to build upon throughout the years. Chris also provided exceptional customer service 24/7!
DataStew has served the Port through a variety of complex projects including a multi-million dollar joint development with the City of Oakland. If you have complex technology projects that require high attention to detail, I would not hesitate to recommend DataStew.
Over the last several years University of California, Irvine has been building upon its security infrastructure and DataStew has been an integral part of that upgrade. They assisted in the development of a 450+ terabyte security camera storage array that will lead us into the future. DataStew’s professionalism and attention to detail was paramount in that contract, current contracts, and I’m sure future contracts.
For over a decade, I’ve relied upon DataStew to support my projects with their big-picture thinking and attention to detail. DataStew has been very responsive and able to communicate difficult concepts to reach solutions that best fit the client’s needs.
