Mother Technologies Celebrates its 22nd Anniversary

Posted: 20th September 2024

Mother Technologies proudly marks its 22nd anniversary this September, celebrating over two decades of delivering managed services to businesses in Scotland. Since its beginnings in 2002 as a small IT support provider based in Aberdeen, Mother has grown into a leading company offering a comprehensive suite of services. Today, Mother deliver IT, Cybersecurity, Telecom, and Connectivity solutions to businesses throughout Scotland and beyond.

Mother’s Journey

Mother’s journey began with an innovative idea to provide high-quality IT support to SMBs, a service typically reserved for larger enterprises. This innovation has been the driving force behind the company’s growth and success over the years.

In 2006, Mother expanded into the telecom industry by acquiring the Telecom division of Grampian Business Products. This strategic move allowed the company to broaden its service offerings and provide even greater value to its clients.

Another major milestone came in 2012 with the launch of Mother’s own data centre, the Mother Cloud. This development enabled the company to deliver private networks for hosted IT, telecom, private connections, and managed security, further enhancing its ability to serve clients with comprehensive solutions.

In response to increasing demand, Mother opened its Edinburgh office in 2018, furthering its commitment to serving businesses in the capital and its surrounding areas. Since then, the Edinburgh team has grown significantly, and today, Mother has become a trusted partner for businesses of all sizes across the city.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 brought unprecedented challenges worldwide, but Mother adapted quickly. The company played a key role in helping local businesses transition to remote working, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operations despite the global disruption.

In the years following the pandemic, Mother has confronted new challenges, particularly cybersecurity. As remote working and AI technologies have advanced, so have cyber threats. In response, Mother has partnered with leading industry experts to ensure businesses, of all types and sizes, remain protected from these evolving risks.

Looking Forward

As Mother looks forward, it is excited to continue meeting the growing demand for its services while keeping businesses throughout Scotland up to date with the latest tech trends. Customer satisfaction will remain the company’s top priority, and Mother will continue to be large enough to deliver, but small enough to care.

“This month sees Mother Technologies celebrate 22 years in business and we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks to all our employees, customers, and partners. Your continuous support, dedication, loyalty and collaboration have paved the way for our achievements, and we look forward to working with you all in the future.”
