About Simplify IT

Based in Warwickshire, Simplify IT now have 10 years of experience on the cutting edge of IT, providing everything from data storage and compute, backup and disaster recovery, automation, and cloud solutions to Wi-Fi networks and smart sensors, cyber security software and training, unified communications, digital transformation, software as a service and so much more. Our engineers have the highest accreditations and capabilities in the industry, and we pride ourselves on the best advice and service possible. We choose the best vendors to partner with so that we can offer the best solutions and service.

After considering the next chapter for Simplify, our founder Lee Rogers sought a perfect fit for our increasing expertise in the Education Technology sector - seeking partners that could, together with ourselves, offer complete solutions and services to Schools, Academies, Universities and more. This had to be a good fit in terms of business needs, but how we gelled was paramount. We couldn’t have picked better partners to work with. Simplify IT and CC Communications share the same code of ethics, the same passion and dedication to our customers and colleagues, the same character. In short, it couldn’t have been a better fit, and we're excited to see what the future brings together. 

We know that Lee was delighted and infectiously enthusiastic about how both companies have integrated, the potential for improving each other now and in the future, and especially what we can now offer our education customers as a group. We will take Lee's vision forward and realise it. This is the first but significant acquisition for Simplify Technology Group and we envisage more as we continue to grow.

Business as usual - but better

If you're a customer of Simplify IT or CC Communications, nothing will change except that we can now offer you more IT Provisions and Services. If you have any questions with regards to this announcement, please don't hesitate to contact your Account Manager.
