Capable, Confident and Calm.
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget is a bipartisan non-profit organization that educates the public about fiscal policy impacts. We are a busy office with 30 employees, some of whom work remotely and others on a part-time basis. We needed a more flexible computing environment and a network that would optimize productivity, security and communications. Having worked with Darryl’s team in a previous position, I didn’t hesitate to call Owia Technology.
We’ve been through two migrations with Darryl: once to virtual desktops and most recently to the cloud. Our staff moves around a lot. This way they always have access to resources and data when working from home or in other offices. Not only has this made our work lives easier, it saves us time and increases our productivity. Multiple staff members can share a device when required and still access the documents and information they need for their specific jobs. This flexibility has helped enormously.
Other than their expertise and reliability, one of the things I like about the team from Owia is their calm demeanor. If a staff member has an IT issue, Owia can address it in a capable, calm, confident manner, and explain it in plain language. Instead of panicking when something goes wrong, the staff now remains calm, thanks to Owia
Owia goes above and beyond the call of duty. They work weekends, evenings, and once when Daryl from Owia was on vacation in Europe, he even helped us remotely with an issue. I would recommend Owia to any organization here in the DC Area.

I would stake my personal reputation on Darryl @ Owia Tech
I don’t often recommend people. I worry about how it would look if you recommend someone and that person turns out to be a failure, it reflects on your judgment. But I would have no absolutely zero concern with Darryl, I would stake my personal reputation on Darryl with Owia Tech.

10 years of Personalized IT Service
In the last 10 years, we’ve experienced very personalized service from Owia Technology because they take the time to understand our needs. The game-changer for us, though in recent months, was being able to replace our on-premises server and moving to the cloud. We don’t have to worry about if it will work or not: we know we can access our information from any computer at home or in the office. The team at Owia Technology encouraged us to make this move and we’re glad we did. If you’re on the fence about moving to a new IT company, I’d give them a call today!

Trustworthy and Capable Value-Add for 15 years!
ATP has been doing business with Darryl and Owia Technology for about 15 years. I can say there are 3 reasons he’s better than other IT firms we’ve engaged in the past. One: Darryl’s personality is easygoing and well-mannered. IT can be difficult, and he makes it so it’s not a chore to deal with it. Two: He’s knowledgeable and has a great command of what’s cutting-edge in technology. He takes the time to understand our network so when he is making recommendations, I know it will work for my needs. Three: His communication style is great. He’s not conceited so he doesn’t talk down to you but takes the time to make sure you understand the options presented and the ramifications to your business for each one.
He’s also trustworthy. I know he knows our network so I can let him handle things and I can focus on my business. If there’s a challenge, we talk it through and he’s always fair. His team provides value-add so I know I’m getting the most bang for my buck. If you’re on the fence about choosing a new IT firm, if you work with Darryl and his team, you know they will take the time to understand your needs and find a solution that fits. I’d recommend you give them a call!

Smooth Transition to the Cloud – Just in Time!
The single biggest benefit to IWPR working with Owia Technology and moving to the cloud? Access. Wow and thankfully we did it when we did! Considering pretty much to the day that we moved to the cloud, everyone had to immediately start working from home due to COVID-19 and stay at home orders. We would have been sunk without that remote access to our data.
One thing Owia Technology does better than other IT firms I’ve worked with is their responsiveness. Going through this transition, I felt I could easily access someone for technical support. Special recognition to Olga, our Senior Technical Account Manager.
If someone was on the fence about choosing Owia Technology as their tech firm, I’d tell them that Owia is a trustworthy company I feel comfortable working with. They are generally good, straightforward people and I never feel like they are trying to sell me something I don’t need or want. They are willing to work with us to make sure we get what we want. If that’s the type of IT firm you like working with, you should give them a call.
