Capable IT Managed Services team — happy with the end result

Johan van der Merwe / Owner | Sep 10, 2026

The final product works well for us, although the process could have been smoother. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. Documentation at handover was a bit thin and we had to ask for more detail. We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

Savvy Otter was brought in to take over day-to-day IT support for our offices. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. The engagement ran for about 7 months.

Great team to work with — professional, responsive and reliable

Stephanie Morgan / IT Director | May 21, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Savvy Otter. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline.

The IT Managed Services work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. We had to follow up a few times on smaller bug fixes after launch. We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

Savvy Otter was brought in to take over day-to-day IT support for our offices. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. The engagement ran for about 4 months.

Good work overall, with a few bumps along the way

Raj Thompson / Head of Digital Transformation | Mar 26, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. We had to follow up a few times on smaller bug fixes after launch.

Good results, communication improved as the project went on

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.
