Octopus Networks is a UK technology and managed services company helping organisations modernise their IT, strengthen security, and introduce smarter, more efficient digital systems. We specialise in cloud solutions, Microsoft 365, IT support, firewall, switching and Wi-Fi managed service and emerging smart-building technologies.
In 2025 we focused on growth and capability-building. We expanded our managed IT services, onboarded new clients, strengthened our Microsoft 365 and cloud security offering, and progressed development of Octopus Insights, our upcoming platform for building and operational intelligence.
In 2026 we plan to launch the first phase of Octopus Insights, grow our managed services division, and build more local partnerships across Essex. We’ll continue supporting organisations with modern, secure, and efficient technology environments. We plan to employ more staff and progress our new building to net zero.
Yes, Essex offers strong connectivity, a collaborative SME community, access to talent, and proactive support for digital innovation.
We’re most excited by technologies that turn data into clear, actionable insights — particularly IoT, automation, and cloud intelligence, which will underpin Octopus Insights.
Businesses often come to us with outdated systems, weak security, or unclear cloud setups. We solve this through structured audits, modernisation, secure Microsoft 365 environments, and dependable ongoing support.
By continuing to promote digital skills, encourage collaboration, and support innovation programmes that help high-growth company’s scale. We have a great relationship with Castle Point Council, and we have noticed the difference this past year with their efforts with small business’s.
