Business Technology
Focus Technology Group sell and support an extensive range of products from various suppliers. Through our knowledge and experience we have selected preferred brands for their quality, price competitiveness and warranty conditions. We are continually evaluating these brands and others to maintain a range of good quality products.

We have chosen IBM as our preferred brand of server equipment. We have specialised in IBM for a number of years now, and have expert knowledge and experience in the deployment of IBM server solutions.

IBM sold their Desktop and PC business to Lenovo (www.lenovo.com) in 2004. Lenovo are the largest manufacturer of PC equipment in China, and were a principal sponsor of the 2008 Bejing Olympics. Lenovo have maintained the IBM branding through the Thinkcentre, Thinkstation and ThinkPad ranges of PC equipment. Lenovo are our preferred brand for desktop and laptop hardware.

We are certified warranty providers for both IBM and Lenovo hardware, allowing us to service the equipment we sell.

Focus Technology Group are a Microsoft Certified Partner, and we specialise in the deployment of the full range of Microsoft software from server operating systems to desktop application software.

We also sell a range of other hardware and software products to compliment the major brands we deploy, and as such we are certified installers for many of these products. Being a certified installer means we have attended specific training, passed certification exams and have full access to the backup and support facilities of these vendors.
