Supporting Edinburgh businesses
Edinburgh is Scotland's capital and one of the UK's biggest financial centres outside London. NatWest Group's headquarters is at Gogarburn, and investment firms such as Baillie Gifford and abrdn are based in the city, alongside a large insurance and pensions sector. The Scottish Parliament and Scottish Government bring a big public sector, and the city also has a well-known technology scene: Skyscanner started in Edinburgh, and the University of Edinburgh's School of Informatics and Bayes Centre feed a steady supply of start-ups.
Heriot-Watt University at Riccarton, Edinburgh Napier University and Queen Margaret University add to the student population. Edinburgh Park and South Gyle in the west hold many large offices, while Leith and the Quartermile area house agencies and tech firms. Tourism is huge, peaking each August with the Festival and Fringe.
Typical IT and website needs across Edinburgh businesses include:
- Financial advisers, solicitors and accountants that need careful handling of client data, secure email and GDPR-aware processes.
- Tech start-ups that want Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace set up properly from day one, with device management for remote staff.
- Hotels, short-let operators and Festival venues that depend on booking sites and payment systems under heavy August traffic.
- Shops and cafés in the Old Town, New Town and Stockbridge that rely on websites, online orders and Google listings.
The Festival season creates its own problems: sites that slow to a crawl, overloaded Wi-Fi in venues, and temporary staff needing accounts set up and removed quickly. Planning for that in spring is cheaper than fixing it in August.
