Gosforth tech company to build on £500k worth of new contract wins

Gosforth-based technology solutions company TSG is aiming to build on almost half a million pounds worth of new contract wins in the North as businesses seek to invest in improved infrastructure in 2015.

Technology Services Group (TSG), which has headquarters in Gosforth and an office on Teesside, announced a number of deals in the final quarter of 2014 amounting to almost £500k revenue for the national company’s northern operations alone.

Major wins in the North East included projects for Home Group, AV Dawson and Mediaworks with customers further afield including Andy Thornton Ltd and The Outward Bound Trust.

They came on top of 20 orders that are in the pipeline for TSG Tribe, the member relationship management system the company launched in 2014 on the back of significant investment in research and development.

TSG’s Managing Director for the North, Mark Joynson, said: “The common thread across these recent wins is that they are almost all based on Microsoft solutions and the drive to modernise IT across businesses of all sizes.

“The projects range from infrastructure refreshes with customers moving key services to the cloud-based Office 365 to the deployment of key applications built on Microsoft SharePoint.

“Integration is becoming increasingly critical and that is also one of the reasons we chose to develop TSG Tribe on the powerful Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 platform.”

“Experts across the world of technology agree that taking no action is not an option. End of Support means no more updates or patches from Microsoft and that is likely to result in a less stable and less secure infrastructure.

“More importantly, it’s an opportunity to pick up on new developments that offer significant advantages such as anytime, anyplace access, lower cost of entry, consolidation and ‘pay as you grow’ cost control.

“It also opens the door to collaboration and communication tools that could transform the way businesses operate.”

“Our unrivalled status as a Microsoft Partner echoes our view that nothing in the modern technology exists in isolation.

“We’re recognised for our expertise across six key areas including server platforms, ERP, CRM, content and collaboration, and small and mid-market business.

“2014 saw substantial investment for the group as well as some challenges with restructuring, so this is a great sign that we are beginning to see the benefits from these strategic decisions and hopefully it shall continue strongly for the coming year.”
