Lanarkshire-based cloud computing firm grows sales by 76%

DataVita, a Bellshill-based datacentre and multi-cloud services provider, has hailed a seven-figure increase in revenue over the past 12 months as it seeks to triple the size of the business.

Quinn expects demand for the firm's services to intensify. Picture: contributed.

It reported a 76 per cent jump in revenue in 2019, with record growth driven by a programme of diversification and new client wins, and following the introduction of new cloud-first products and services.

DataVita saw increased interest in its multi-cloud hosting, disaster recovery and back-up products, as well as its professional services offering.

The firm added that its purpose-built datacentre – the only one north of the Border to hold a key prestigious accreditation – is totally powered by green energy and supports the data for an estimated two million people in Scotland.

Last year also saw it securing a place on the new Scottish Government cloud services framework, allowing it to offer public sector organisations access to a range of cloud and datacentre services. The firm is aiming for even higher levels of revenue growth in 2020 and is already recruiting for technical and sales roles.

MD Danny Quinn said: “The creation of DataVita was always intended to be a long-term project and we’re proud of the high-quality services that we continue to bring to the market – with no short cuts or compromise when it comes to delivery.

"We had strong ambitions when we went live in 2016, but our plans for the future are equally as bold. Over the next 18 months we expect to expand further, tripling the size of the business. Datacentre and hybrid cloud services are a major priority for Scottish businesses and as our digital economy grows, the demand for our services will only intensify.

"We’re proud to have a datacentre that is unique to Scotland, offering energy efficient, reliable and secure hybrid cloud services for businesses of all shapes and sizes.”
