SIMNET: SIMpleNETworks

At SIMNET, we believe there is a better way to do IT. In fact, we are obsessively passionate about it. In 2005, SIMNET was created by Founder and President, Ted de Vos, because of the misconception that IT needed to be complicated. We’ve stripped away the complexity to make IT simple – and effective.

Our Story

When Founder and President, Ted de Vos, grew tired of the unnecessary complexity of IT, he created SIMNET, a service-driven company dedicated to marrying outstanding technology with unparalleled support-no complexities needed. The promise of Cloud is that it would be easy. And it is not. Until now.

As a company, our guiding vision is to establish ourselves as the premier choice for specialty cloud infrastructure and platform services across North America and the U.K.

How? It’s simple! By delivering the best service possible. We want every client to feel uniquely valued, as if they are our sole focus. We firmly believe that providing exceptional service and sustaining happy clients is the path to create a valuable, enduring company that people love.

Our Promise

Our values always guide our work to ensure our clients are completely satisfied. We promise to:

Our mission is to help organizations grow and maintain operations with confidence. This is realized through the ever-innovative, customized IT solutions provided within our three pillars: Cloud, Security, and Managed Services."
