IT companies in Ireland – Helping businesses reach new success heights



IT companies in Ireland provide a range of services such as IT Support, Infrastructure Design, IT Security, Cloud Services and more. It can be a challenge for an IT company to differentiate themselves from the many competitors in a crowded space. Also many IT companies in Ireland provide a wide range of services that they are often overtaken by more niche providers who focus on one or two services, e.g. IT Security or IT Support. 



At Novi we have a broad range of IT Services. We are specialists in IT Security in Ireland, delivering world leading solutions from Fortinet to the Irish business community. We also provide many customers with remote and on site IT Support. Our biggest differentiator though is our service.

Make sure to consider Security when Engaging with Cloud Computing Companies



A report by the Central Statistic Office (CSO) has shown that 36% of Irish companies employing 10+ purchased cloud computing services in 2016. This number is expected to rise dramatically in 2017 as smaller to mid-sized companies take advantage of the scalability and cost savings and increased staff efficiencies that cloud computing services have to offer.



The most effective method to move to the cloud is to engage with a cloud computing company who are specialists that can design, implement and support the cloud infrastructure that best fits your business model. 

As infrastructure evolves so must the security solutions that protect that infrastructure from cyber-attack. If existing security layers aren’t able to scale and flex with the new agile public, private and hybrid cloud environments vulnerabilities in protection will develop.

At Novi we partner with Microsoft to deliver Azure Cloud Computing Services to our customers. Azure is a group of integrated cloud computing services including analytics, networking, mobile, storage and more. It enables a company to scale quickly up and down as required so you only spend on what you need, making IT spend more cost effective. It helps managers and business owners make smarter decisions based on real-time business data and analytics.

To protect our customers’ data, systems and infrastructure we recommend the world leading cyber security solutions from Fortinet. After closely analysing your new cloud infrastructure we deliver the best-in-class security solutions that will safeguard your investment into the future. Fortinet has specific solutions depending on your Cloud environment. 

Our advice to any small to mid-sized organisation considering engaging with a cloud computingcompany is to ensure that they have security expertise and can help protect 
your new infrastructure from the ever growing threat of cyber crime.
