Why are we so effective at solving these kinds of problems?

People say to us, “how can anyone know so much about such obscure problems? We’d given up hope that anyone could help….”

The reason we are so effective at solving these kinds of problems is because, in 1988 a group of technology experts set out to create a company which tackled all the computing, technology and media jobs that nobody else wanted because they were too difficult.

We soon realised that we were onto something because the more problems we solved, the better we got.

Because we’ve been doing this since 1988 we now know that we can solve a wider range of problems than anyone else.

This is how we did it.

Building a "problem-solving knowledge base"

From the moment we started, we entered every detail of each problem we solved into a database to create the word's most comprehensive database of obscure (often very obscure) problems and their solutions.

Getting it right every time

This helps us to ask you the right questions in order to identify the right solution to your seemingly insoluble technical problems.

A network of expert problem-solvers

Over time, we have developed long-standing relationships with an enormous number of individuals who are each experts in solving one particular kind of technological problem.

These experts can be notoriously difficult to track down (sometimes they’re retired) but they are often the only ones with the unique specialist knowledge required to solve your problem.   

So if you’ve got an old tape, cassette or disc that you can’t play,
