Data Computer Services

Data Computer Services, commonly branded as DATA, is a Scottish information technology support provider headquartered in Edinburgh. Originally formed in 1998, the company has built its business around delivering tailored IT support to organisations of all sizes, from sole traders and small businesses to larger companies with multiple offices. Its main office is located in Edinburgh, and its stated service area covers Edinburgh, the Lothians and Fife. DATA positions itself as an alternative to traditional IT support arrangements, emphasising transparent, effective and accessible services that help customers understand and relate to IT within their own business context. The company offers a range of support models, including Ad Hoc Support through its Pay As You Go IT offering, Hybrid IT, and Unlimited IT Contract Services. These packages are marketed as delivering significant savings on traditional IT support costs without reducing service quality, and typically include a free yearly network service, prioritised customer support and a service level agreement. Beyond reactive troubleshooting, DATA provides proactive monitoring of client systems so that potential problems can be identified early and downtime minimised. The company also offers online services and VoIP systems alongside its core business IT support, presenting itself as an all-in-one place for business IT support, online services and voice-over-IP telephony. It promotes a free IT audit as an entry point for prospective customers. The company operates as a private, independent business rather than as part of a larger listed group. Its long-standing presence in the Scottish capital since the late 1990s gives it a local, relationship-driven positioning in the Edinburgh IT support market.

Data Computer Services, trading as DATA, was originally formed in 1998. From its base in Edinburgh, the company developed a business focused on providing IT support to organisations across Edinburgh, the Lothians and Fife. Over the years it has served a broad customer base spanning sole traders, small businesses and larger companies with multiple offices. The company's service model evolved to include several distinct support arrangements. Alongside traditional ad hoc assistance, DATA introduced its Pay As You Go IT offering, Hybrid IT and Unlimited IT Contract Services, aiming to give businesses flexible options that could reduce the cost of IT support without compromising service levels. These packages commonly include a free yearly network service, prioritised customer support and a service level agreement. DATA also expanded beyond core support into related areas, offering online services and VoIP systems so that clients could source business IT support, online services and telephony from a single provider. The company emphasises proactive monitoring of client systems to catch potential problems early and minimise downtime, and it markets a free IT audit as a way for prospective customers to assess their needs. As of the available evidence, DATA remains an active, independent IT support company headquartered in Edinburgh, with no indication of acquisition by or affiliation with a larger corporate group.
