Pioneering innovation in IT managed services since 1989
Sota was founded in 1989 in the early days of the PC revolution. By the end of the 1990s we were a leading provider of business accounting software solutions. We introduced hardware and network services, and became pioneers of the IT managed services industry.
At the turn of the new millennium, Sota became one of the first independent Internet service providers. We were quick to identify that voice and data technologies were converging, and expanded into telecoms.
We built our first commercial-grade datacentre in 2004, and connected the Kent Science Park campus to our new core network. A second datacentre was constructed in 2005, followed by a larger, higher-specification datacentre, and a workplace recovery facility, three years later.
Our core network increased in capacity, and was engineered to provide physical diversity, and in 2009 Sota became an independent network operator, with its own regional fibre-optic network.
NOW
Sota is one of the UK’s leading independent providers of professional IT managed services. We have embraced the challenge of the new era of digital transformation, investing in people, knowledge, and specialist technical facilities to establish independent cloud platforms, hosted in our own datacentres.
Our platforms form the building blocks of the modern workplace, powering a new generation of managed services for IT support, cloud computing, cyber resilience, connectivity, and unified communications.
