Happy Birthday LIS
LIS is 23 today! We have been looking after IT Support for businesses in Essex and London for all that time and we have still have a core of clients from those early days. Many thanks to all we have worked with as clients, suppliers, staff (and in some cases all three) over the years. Your patience, tolerance and support has been appreciated.
The good news is the the LIS product range and client base are wider and stronger today than they have ever been. Our helpdesk is providing a first rate service for clients with 99% of all calls responded to immediately and most issues resolved within 1h. Our remote monitoring and management tools are keeping managed service clients protected 24/7/365 and our managed antivirus and antispam products are rock solid defences. Telecoms, broadband, mobile data and mobile voice are growth areas for LIS with highly competitive offerings.
So here’s to another 23 years! Happy Birthday LIS.

The First Email
Can you believe it was 48 years ago that the first ever email was sent (wonder if it was spam…)? This is the man who sent it. If you are cursing the junk you receive as a consequence then you need our Antispam Service rather than being cross with Ray Tomlinson.

LIS can build, manage and maintain your defences but no wall is perfect especially if you publish the instructions on how to bypass it! US government take note…
