Over the last year, our goal as a company was to grow and scale in a way where we can achieve both…read moreour short term and long term goals. We tried to take the initiative with this idea internally, but it was too costly and finding a reliable solution proved to be difficult. Our ideas are sound and work but we needed both the strategical and technical experience to push past our roadblocks. After scavenging the Internet for a digital agency in Sacramento, we found that Capitol Tech Solutions was our ultimate choice. We were met with a very enthusiastic and passionate group led by Bobby Reed. Our website was broken and non-responsive, something that is a no no in Google's policy. We were so conflicted about taking care of it internally that we wasted time reaped the consequences of having a dysfunctional website. It was so encouraging to know that they wanted to increase our marketing efforts just as much as we did. After 3 months, CTS got us up and running - we're already performing better than before and have opted to continue our partnership with them to develop a full-fledged digital marketing strategy. I highly recommend their services to anyone running a small business or large enterprise company who's looking for a digital agency. Thank you guys so much!

Before Covid 19, we had no idea how to sell our products direct through our website. As a traditional brick and mortar, we viewed marketing as a way to drive customers to our location. That all changed fast, and Capitol Tech Solutions has been guiding us through our transition to digital sales with fast action and budget conscious solutions to keep our business afloat.

Microsoft Customer Support Failure Report…read more Executive Summary This report documents the complete breakdown of Microsoft Customer Support services experienced over an extended period regarding critical issues with the Outlook email program. Despite being a loyal, paying customer with an annual subscription, I have encountered systematic failures in Microsoft's support infrastructure that have left critical software issues unresolved and my business operations severely impacted. Background As a long-term Microsoft customer who maintains an active annual subscription for Microsoft services, I have reasonable expectations for functional software and responsive customer support when issues arise. The Outlook program, which is essential to my daily operations, has developed significant functionality problems that require immediate technical resolution. Documented Support Failures Multiple Support Ticket Failures I have opened several official Microsoft Customer Support tickets documenting the specific technical issues plaguing my Outlook. Each ticket included: * Detailed descriptions of the problems encountered * Step-by-step reproduction instructions * Screenshots and error messages where applicable * System configuration details * Previous troubleshooting attempts Result: Zero resolution. Tickets either received no meaningful response, were closed without explanation, or resulted in generic, unhelpful automated responses that failed to address the specific technical issues documented. Phone Support Abandonment Multiple attempts to reach Microsoft Customer Support via telephone have resulted in: * Calls being disconnected immediately upon connection * Long hold times followed by sudden disconnections * No callback options or follow-up communication * Complete inability to speak with a qualified technical representative This pattern suggests either systematic technical failures in Microsoft's phone support infrastructure or deliberate avoidance of customer service obligations. Email Communication Blackhole Numerous emails sent to Microsoft Customer Support channels have disappeared into an apparent void: * No acknowledgment of receipt * No assignment of case numbers * No escalation to appropriate technical teams * No timeline for resolution provided * Complete silence despite multiple follow-up attempts Impact Assessment The failure of Microsoft Customer Support has created significant operational disruptions: * Business Continuity: Email communication, a critical business function, remains unreliable * Productivity Loss: Countless hours wasted attempting to navigate Microsoft's broken support system * Financial Impact: Continue paying annual subscription fees for non-functional software with non-existent support * Professional Reputation: Email reliability issues affect professional communications and relationships Service Level Expectations vs. Reality What I Pay For: * Functional software that performs as advertised * Professional customer support when issues arise * Timely resolution of technical problems * Communication and transparency throughout the support process What I Receive: * Broken software with persistent, unresolved issues * Completely unresponsive customer support infrastructure * Wasted time and resources with zero progress toward resolution * Treatment that suggests Microsoft views paying customers as disposable Recommendations for Microsoft 1. Immediate Action Required: Assign a dedicated technical representative to resolve the outstanding Outlook issues 2. Support System Overhaul: Investigate and repair the systematic failures in phone, email, and ticket-based support channels 3. Customer Retention Strategy: Recognize that treating long-term paying customers with such negligence is unsustainable 4. Transparency: Provide clear escalation paths and communication protocols for unresolved technical issues 5. Accountability: Implement measures to ensure support tickets receive actual human review and technical expertise Conclusion The complete breakdown of Microsoft Customer Support represents a fundamental breach of the service agreement between Microsoft and its paying customers. Despite maintaining financial obligations through continued subscription payments, I have received no meaningful support, communication, or resolution for critical software functionality issues. This level of negligence from a technology company of Microsoft's stature is unacceptable and raises serious questions about their commitment to customer satisfaction and software quality. Immediate corrective action is required to restore basic functionality and professional support standards. The current situation is untenable for any business customer who depends on Microsoft products for critical operations. Without immediate improvement in both software functionality and support responsiveness, consideration of alternative solutions becomes necessary despite years of loyalty to the Microsoft ecosystem.

Spent two days online trying to research and find customer service contact info (very well hidden) Only to get a nice man I could barely understand who after suggesting I fill out the same forms 4 times with same results Suggested I get a refund (cancel my account) AND WILL LOSE ALL OF MY EMAILS at that point I have all all the password, credit card, etc to verify myself through security concerns The fact that a company the size of Microsoft has no easier solution to this issue is amazingly frustrating as I wasted hours trying to resolve it Microsoft i fear has grown so large they just do not care about the customer and if you have issues so what
