We love technology: We spend most of our time in front of a computer, developing our software, making improvements, and reading or writing techie blogs. What does this mean for you? It means you get to work with a group of geeks who love, what you probably don’t. We enjoy IT: Its capabilities; how it forever changes and how it helps businesses to develop.

Spideroffice is made up of 4 packages: Startup, Local, Anywhere & Pic 'n' Mix. Each Office uses some or all elements of Cloud Computing for we want to ensure that your business benefits from up-to-date technology.
Having a virtual server, allows you and your staff to work from anywhere. Gone are the day's of e-mailing documents, saving work to a flash disc and working from the same computer. With the Cloud you can log on to your remote server anywhere. This is especially useful if you have multiple sites, or staff/team members that work from home or other locations.
As your company grows, so can your Cloud. It can expand and shrink however and whenever you like. This means you only pay for what you use. It can also expand at times when you might expect a surge of traffic, there is nothing worse than clients seeing your error page afterall!
The difference in energy used from one server and one Cloud platform (both with 10 users) can save up to £500 per year in electricity. Read our article on the Green Cloud here
SpiderGroup was set up in 2002 by James Cook, who had just finished a degree in Chemistry at Bristol University. In the early day’s, SpiderGroup started out creating networks and IT support coupled with web based software development. The original mission statement of the company was and is: To help businesses to get the most out of technology.
They soon realised that the internet would play a huge part in companies’ technology and so started developing their own platform to host their clients’ web applications. It became obvious to SpiderGroup that not everyone needed their own servers; and that if everything was stored and backed-up centrally, the service would be even better, and much more cost-effective.
This was of course the beginning of Cloud Computing for SpiderGroup, known today as Spideroffice Anywhere.
Today: SpiderGroup still develop some software, however its major focus is Cloud Computing. SpiderGroup are extremely passionate about the Cloud and what it can do for business: Making businesses more time and energy efficient, whilst totally taking the stress and worry out of IT. Cloud Computing is the present-day focus of SpiderGroup and the future of most businesses.
