Cambridge
One accountable team for Cambridge's regulated firms.
Cambridge is the heart of Britain's deep-tech economy, Silicon Fen, ringed by a base of wealth managers, accountancy practices and advisory firms serving its founders and scientists. We have offices in Edinburgh and London and look after Cambridge firms as one accountable team, on the ground when it helps and remote the rest of the time.
It has a charming claim to a modern first. In 1991, Cambridge computer scientists pointed a camera at a coffee pot so they could check it from their desks, and the world's first webcam was born. Tell us where your IT and security are now, and we will tell you what good looks like.

faq
IT support in Cambridge, answered plainly
We have offices in Edinburgh and London and look after firms right across Cambridge and the East of England. Day-to-day IT and security are run remotely by the same team that knows your environment, and we are on the ground in person when it helps.
Most day-to-day IT and security is run remotely. When something needs hands on a machine, we draw on a trusted network of vetted on-site engineers, our smart hands, who come to your office to set up devices, make changes and handle the physical work, alongside our team. You get someone on site when you need it, not just a phone line.
Wealth managers, accountancy practices and professional-services firms, typically of five to fifty people, including those serving the Silicon Fen technology cluster. The common thread is that they are regulated, hold sensitive client data, and want IT and security run as one accountable job rather than split between suppliers.

Cambridge built the world's first webcam
The Trojan Room coffee pot
In 1991, researchers in Cambridge's Computer Laboratory set up a camera trained on the coffee pot in the Trojan Room so they could see from their desks whether it was worth a walk. It became the world's first webcam, and went live on the early web in 1993.
