On “Our current IT provider is unresponsive. Who should we switch to?”, Bit by Bit sits in tier 1 of 2, named in 13 of 265 responses (4.9%). Tier 1 does not mean it was ranked first.

Bit by Bit shares tier 1 with Integris, TeamLogic IT, Ntiva, Dataprise and CMIT Solutions, and the order they are listed in is arbitrary. 4 further firms were named on this question but fell into lower tiers, meaning the sample did separate Bit by Bit from them.
