Halesowen IT firm lands new contract in the region

EBC Group, an award-winning managed IT service provider based in Halesowen, has signed a two-and-a-half-year support deal with omnigo, a trusted partner of card payment company Dojo.

EBC Director of IT Mike Bridges met omnigo founder Nicholas Gould at a Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce Business Influence Partner Dinner, and it led to further conversations about the company’s provision.

Nicholas explained that omnigo had team members working remotely across the region and needed an IT provider who could join them together more efficiently.

He said: “I got chatting to Mike and Ryan at EBC about some of the pain points we were feeling as a business from an IT point of view, and they offered a solution that could bring all of our platforms together and make everything work more effectively.

“Ultimately, in business, we just want technology to work for us and we are thrilled to be working with EBC Group and to be investing in our next stage of growth.

“I know from my own customer base that they love that fact that what we do works for their business – that our card machines are reliable and that the platform behind them offers a whole host of data that helps to inform their decision-making.

“Similarly, we wanted an IT partner that just made everything work as it should and to make life more efficient for everyone in the business.”

EBC Group, which has been operating for more than 35 years, recently signed up the Chamber as a client too and is proud of being awarded the status of Official IT Partner.

Mike Bridges said: “It was great to meet Nicholas at an event through the Chamber and what started as a conversation very quickly turned into a contract.

“It shows the power of being part of the Chamber, of getting out and meeting people face to face and how, by simply talking to someone about the issues they are facing in their business, you can strike up a relationship that leads to doing business together.”

Gurprit Singh, business engagement manager at the Chamber, said: “We just love it when we bring members together and they start working with one another.

“It’s vital for the regional economy that businesses buy and sell from each other and we look forward to seeing this relationship flourish.”
