Why Express Data
There are many good reasons why you should work with Express Data.
Here are our top three, all delivered by our great people:
The Express Difference
Express Data aren’t the only people out there providing network and technology infrastructure solutions.
So how are we different from the mainstream?
We take pride in being a performance network infrastructure company who build solutions for specialist requirements and/or mission-critical environments.
By way of analogy, look at these two cars.
They’re both cars. Each is a Ford Fiesta. If you look beyond the fancy livery on the rally car, they look pretty similar. Underneath, where it counts, they really aren’t.
The white Fiesta is mainstream and the rally Fiesta is performance engineered for its specialist purpose.
You can pop to the shops in either if you want. But if you’re hitting a rally course, you’d be insane if you didn’t jump in the car built for the purpose in mind.
If the requirements for, say, your network infrastructure are low-key, it runs some PCs and phones in your office, but you won’t lose any sleep if it’s not peak performance and reliability, there are plenty of companies who can help.
On the other hand, if the network is mission-critical, if the technologies that run your business are riding on it, if you need rapid on the ground response, then you need performance network engineering and specialist tuning.
The benefits will speak for themselves.
