When we launched Spanning Sync in March 2007, it was the only way to sync iCal and Google Calendar. Since then other companies have introduced other, sometimes cheaper, ways to do the same thing. But our customer base continues to grow at a pace that amazes even us. Why is that?
For one thing, we've continued to invest in the product itself by adding things like alarm and contact syncing, along with all the little touches that people appreciate like support for contact photos, nicknames, and birthdays. We've also made a big investment in our customers who recommend Spanning Sync to their friends with the Save 5+Make 5 program. But what really sets Spanning Sync apart from our competition is the quality of our customer support, led by Byron Shaheen.
Here are a few of the things our customers have told us:

Our business model is simple: provide something of value and charge a fair price for it. And as we see it, part of that value is created by delivering superior customer support. It's not an afterthought or something we punt to a community forum. It's a fundamental part of our business, and we're gratified to know that our customers appreciate it.
