An Aberdeen-based IT company has reported a 30% uplift in work during 2021, as clients tackle post-Brexit operating conditions and ongoing cyber threats.
Alto has experienced the increase across its growing client base with almost £200k of new work coming from existing clients, many of whom have identified a need to enhance support for European offices; increase connectivity and security; and solidify connections.
This year has also seen plenty of new business brought to the table both in the UK and overseas in the likes of France and Spain, resulting in the creation of two new jobs as part of an ongoing recruitment drive to shore up the growing cybersecurity team.
Commenting on the news, Alto chief executive Bruce Skinner said: “The fight against cybercrime is relentless and it really is a matter of when and not if an attack will happen to your business or your supply chain.
“More and more businesses are understanding that they need to strategize rather than defend to put themselves in the best possible position, and challenges such as Brexit, the pandemic, remote working and so on have caused many to focus on the importance of gap analysis.”
“For us, these factors have all combined to result in a busy year and we anticipate that upward trajectory continuing as we now look ahead to 2022 and beyond.”
Alto, a Managed Services and Security Provider (MSSP), was founded in 2009 and employs a team of experienced IT consultants who are based in the North-east and who are able to react quickly to clients’ challenges.
