“Shield IT Solutions has been a great resource for both of our businesses for many years. They are always quick to respond when we have computer issues, as well as being very efficient. They always make sure to communicate with us as to what the problem was and how they fixed it. They excel at keeping our systems updated and operating smoothly on a day-to-day basis. I recommend them highly to any person or business.”

Shield I.T. Solutions has been our life jacket with all of our computer needs for over 10 years. When we buy new he tells us what we need or builds us what we need. If we purchase new he sets it up and gives us the most trouble free and best preforming computer we hope for every time. We absolutely trust and love the peace of mind we have leaving all of our computer service, maintenance, and protections he offers. Also love his remote access abilities, no trips across town or mailing our device in anymore. Highly recommended by us.

"Thane has served my tech needs for years and has gone beyond the usual level of service of others. My computer crashed on a Sunday evening while I was in my office and Thane responded. Another time Thane met me in Cameron, WI and took a laptop with him for the weekend to optimize it as my wife’s' laptop had crashed. If you need reliable service at a fair price, I suggest you call Thane."

“Thane K. Close has been my "Computer Guru" since about 1992! I was working at U.W Eau Claire at the time, doing well with my computer at the University. But my personal home computer was a mess! I found his name in the Help ads of Leader Telegram and "took a chance!" I have never regretted that decision! Thane has always been very reliable; he isn't satisfied with his work until I'm satisfied! I couldn't ask for more! Even though I now live in Winona, MN, Thane connects with my computer and does his magic online. He solves my computer problems and makes my stress vanish! Thane, I'm delighted to hear you are expanding Shield I.T. Solutions! I am looking forward to your future plans and am certain you will grow and prosper. Best regards and Good luck!”

Thane Close and Shield IT Solutions have been a most valuable source for all our computing and software needs. We have not found it necessary to have our own in-house IT department since Thane has been a quick and reliable consultant for everything we need. Shield IT Solutions has assisted us for hardware and software upgrades as well as providing and monitoring our internet security.
NorthWest Office Products has been using the Shield services for several years and considers them as a most valuable resource for everything we need. Any time we’ve had a need or question Thane and his staff provide same day service and assistance.”
