Whilst all main media outlets have been telling us how bad the economy has been over the last couple of years, some companies (like us, funnily enough) have just got quietly on with the job of running our data centres, deploying dedicated servers, providing managed services and colocation for our customers. We’ve just concentrated on providing great service and value.

Our observation is that the market (ie our customers) seems to like the way we do things as, yet again and for ten years on the trot, we’ve reported double digit growth in our last financial year. We focus on managed services, dedicated servers, colocation, web hosting and email services, all provided in our own data centres, staffed by our own highly motivated and committed people – we think these things are important. More specifically, so do our customers (that’s the people who pay our wages, which is something we shouldn’t (and don’t) forget!).

We’re entering our new financial year in great shape and ready to really push on with what we do – we’re hiring new people in new roles, we’re launching new products (keep checking back here, they’ll be arriving real soon now), we’re investing in our infrastructure by becoming a more independent entity and we’re also looking for a new data centre, as we are rapidly filling the two we already have.

So it seems that, if you’re a solid company, providing great value and services to your customers, whilst you’re not immune from market conditions, it is certainly possible to have a great year and continue the success story even in the difficult times.
