IT & Website Support in Oxford

Supporting Oxford businesses

Oxford's economy is shaped by its universities more than almost any other UK city. The University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University are both major employers, and the university's colleges, departments and libraries support a wide range of suppliers, from printers and caterers to software developers and building contractors. Oxford University Press, the world's largest university press, has been publishing in the city for centuries.

Research has produced a fast-growing cluster of spinout and science businesses, particularly in life sciences, biotechnology, medical devices and software. Many are based at the Oxford Science Park in the south of the city or at Begbroke Science Park to the north, with others in the wider county at sites such as Harwell and Milton Park. Healthcare is another big sector, with the John Radcliffe Hospital and its associated research centres.

Manufacturing also matters: BMW's Plant Oxford in Cowley builds the MINI and is one of the largest industrial employers in the region. Tourism is constant, with visitors drawn to the colleges, the Bodleian Library and the Ashmolean Museum, supporting hotels, restaurants, tour operators and language schools.

That variety produces some distinctive IT and website needs:

• Spinouts and small research firms need secure Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, controlled sharing of sensitive data and good offsite backup.
• Publishers, consultancies and charities need well-maintained WordPress sites, accessibility fixes and working forms.
• Hospitality and tourism businesses need booking systems, guest Wi-Fi and fast mobile websites.
• Suppliers to the university and hospitals are often asked security questions, so MFA, device encryption and Cyber Essentials readiness come up regularly.

Most of this work is remote by nature, which suits a city where parking and access are famously difficult.
