About Us

Storm Technology specialises in helping clients expand the possibilities of what digital technology can achieve for their business. A Microsoft Solutions Partner with over 30 years’ experience, Storm Technology is the Microsoft solutions partner of choice for digital technology advancement and adoption.

Our team is comprised of highly skilled business professionals, technology experts, and change management specialists, who bring business and technology know-how together with a proven project methodology to deliver tangible return on investment. They are passionate individuals who thrive when part of a team that designs the best Microsoft technology solutions for our clients.

In August 2024, Storm announced that it had been acquired by Littlefish, an award-winning managed IT and cyber security services provider based in Nottingham, UK. We believe that this acquisition further strengthens Storm’s service portfolio for both new and existing clients in Ireland, particularly within the managed IT services and cyber security space, and facilitates future growth, enabling the delivery of its Microsoft business solutions to the UK market.

In turn, this will see both companies extend their capabilities across larger scale projects and to a wider breadth of clients. Together, Storm Technology and Littlefish will continue to deliver industry leading services to existing customers across the areas of managed IT services, cloud services, and strategic consultancy. So, this is a very exciting time to join this important phase of our growth journey!
