Who are our clients?

Our clients cover a range of companies from well-established ones to brand new startups. We tailor our services to the companies' requirements but also to the particular requirements of the person or team we're dealing with. Sometimes it's an IT manager looking for tactical support, other times it's a business owner with a more strategic outlook. But usually it's a mix of the two.

IT Manager

If you are your company's IT department, where do you turn when you need holiday cover, help on a migration project, or emergency Support? We understand the pressures on an IT manager to maintain an existing IT environment while trying to find time to deliver new projects to tight deadlines. We work with your IT team to deliver as much or as little support and project resource as they need. This allows you to maintain ownership, understanding and involvement from start to finish. We provide a flexible approach to complement your existing skills or to give you a second opinion with no minimum charge or annual contract.
