LinuxIT today announced its entry into the continental European market, by establishing a multi-lingual services and support centre based in the UK. 

As the UK's leading independent Linux systems integration and professional services company, LinuxIT is working with a growing number of high-profile customers with pan-European operations. With the foundation of LinuxIT Europe, customers can now access the company’s services and expertise more easily wherever they may be. LinuxIT Europe has the practical experience, regional understanding and professional network necessary to successfully extend its business into continental Europe.

LinuxIT Europe specializes in the provision of systems and services to companies that work with heterogeneous environments and require a mixture of operating systems and various applications. The company integrates Linux into customers’ existing IT infrastructure, and delivers all professional services necessary to make those integrations successful and sustainable.

Peter Dawes-Huish, Chief Executive Officer of LinuxIT Europe, comments: “We are delighted to be able to respond to the strong demand in Europe for a vendor independent specialized supplier of Linux systems and services.  Founding LinuxIT Europe enables us to satisfy that demand, and allows us to be more accessible to our European customer base. For many, integrating Linux into their environments is a radical change, and although the benefits of cost savings and improved security are obvious, commercial professional services and support are required and LinuxIT Europe aims to provide these.”

The inauguration of LinuxIT Europe is another clear signal that the company is determined to maintain its aggressive growth strategy in the Linux market.
