Throughout their duration, all projects are managed by dedicated contacts of the Sound Image team. Confidentiality is paramount to our clients, any data provided to Sound Image is held on secure servers and is never released to a third party unless expressly authorised by the client. We comply with all current data protection legislation. All client email lists are strictly confidential and held on our secure server platform. For e-commerce clients, all credit card processing on their site is operated via the industry standard SSL encryption technology, ensuring users can buy your products in complete confidence.
At Sound Image we strongly believe in the power of business networking. We are heavily involved in 3 of the region's most successful business networking organisations, tapping us in to thousands of businesses of almost all types imaginable.
We are committed to providing the highest level of service to our clients.

Ethos:
|
|
We aim to provide our clients a high quality of service. This involves quantifying each and every step of the project and ensuring the client is fully aware of what is involved and the associated cost. We understand that people don't like surprises so client expectations are managed and expenses are controlled. We are 'brutally' honest if we don't agree with the client we will say so. Clients can trust us to never suggest a solution that would never work or implement a system that we feel would create more work for them.
We aim to be a one stop IT service. If we can’t help we can point clients in the right direction. From our network of contacts we put clients in touch with other clients that we think can help complete a task. At the same time integrity is important to us so we respect and uphold client confidentiality and privacy of data.
We are very conscientious about our own reputation and believe that if we do a good job that business will come back to us either by the same client or an organisation that the client has referred. We believe an honest, no-nonsense approach is paramount and believe this to be one of the major reasons for over 90% of clients placing ongoing repeat business with us
