Welcome to the new SpiderGroup blog!

Friday, October 31st, 2008

It has taken us a little bit of time but we have put together a new site which we hope more appropriately reflects the company and the stage of development that we are now at. We have spent a great deal of time and effort working out how to express to customers and potential customers exactly what it is we do. We are technologists at heart so we cover a broad range of technologies but never the less we have subdivided our offerings into 3 clear areas of specialism to help describe how we can help you and your business.

You may notice that we have implemented some new ideas to ensure that we communicate better with our audience such as a blog to work alongside our news letter. We hope that the blog can server to inform people about important issues in the IT industry and keep people updated with exciting things that we are getting up to.

Enjoy!
