Our extensive experience across technical, operational and commercial areas has been gained over 25 years and we continue to utilise and build on this, enabling us to deliver on our mission to customers’ and in turn assisting their businesses to become more successful.
We are proud to be an employee owned organisation trusted to support critical IT and Digital services to some of the world’s largest and most successful organisations in key industries including energy, manufacturing, retail, public sector and charities.
Our expertise is anchored in the demanding Oil & Gas sector giving us long term insights in mission critical infrastructure, big data and analytics, IoT and digital adoption - and we have taken this expertise and applied it to all sectors we work in.
We have been right at the core of the Internet revolution as one of the first independent Broadband providers in the UK, introducing one of the country’s first metropolitan WiFi and creating the first Scottish Gigabit City in Aberdeen. Through innovation with our customers and supply partners we were a key player in introducing cloud services to our market and utilise the only Scotland - Mainland Europe fibre connection across the North Sea. We use the same fibre to create private connections for remote offshore installations back to shore.
Most recently we have created a suite of new services - covering enhanced cyber security, mobile broadband, Microsoft Teams Voice Integration and O365 and Cloud backup- designed to meet the demands in our changing world.
We do this at all times with a commitment to provide the best customer experience we can at every stage of our relationships.
