    “Spanning is intuitive and easy to delegate to my team if I am out of the office,” Andy says.

    Spanning’s ease of use stems from a culture of customer focus dedicated to providing an exceptional experience. ECMHSP has found Spanning’s entire team “outstanding” to work with.

    “We’re treated very well as a customer. Our renewals are painless, support issues have been non-existent,” Andy adds.

    Reliable backup means reliable restore. Spanning has restored ECMHSP email, OneDrive and now, with the latest feature, SharePoint items too. As ECMHSP does a lot of work in SharePoint, Spanning’s addition of SharePoint backup protection was a huge value add, particularly for the admins.
