Why nomsp
exists.
nomsp is a service from Dead Simple Computing, a managed IT and cyber security company in Reading. We built it after moving our own systems first.
Most of our own internal systems have moved off Microsoft, Linux runs on our managing director's own desk, and we've moved a number of clients too. Doing it for real taught us what works, what's harder than it looks, and where Microsoft is still the right answer.
nomsp is where that work lives now. It's for businesses that want more control over their IT: desks built for the job, systems in their own name, and a team that looks after it. It isn't a crusade against Microsoft. If Teams works for you and your clients, keep it.
- Dead Simple Computing Ltd is incorporated in England and Wales.
- Linux becomes our managing director's daily computer, and most of our internal systems move off Microsoft.
