Why Clipeum?
Clipeum comes from the Latin for a shield: the round one Roman soldiers carried into battle.
It's a fair description of the job. We stand between your business and the things that would stop it working, and we'd rather deal with a problem before you ever hear about it.
That means proactive support, not reactive patch-ups. Security that's watching around the clock. And a relationship with people who know your business, not a ticket number.
What you get with us
Whether you're exploring automation, need serious cyber security or simply want IT that works, this is how we operate.
No jargon
One relationship for all your IT, explained in plain English.
Problem prevention
Proactive support, not reactive patch-ups.
UK based
Engineers who understand your day-to-day, never an overseas call centre.
Built to scale
Solutions designed to evolve as your business grows.
What makes us different
Clipeum IT was formed by bringing together 3 highly respected technology firms: Onyx, REACT and CRIBB. Together they give our customers the best of both worlds, deep regional experience and national reach.
We didn't just join forces. We strengthened the support network for businesses right across the UK, with one team, one set of standards and one security operations centre behind every customer.
Why now?
The IT landscape is moving fast, and SMEs are often left behind. Between evolving cyber threats, supply chain requirements like Cyber Essentials and DCC, and the arrival of AI, it's easy to feel overwhelmed.
With the right partner, technology stops being a burden and becomes a growth driver. We're ready to help you rethink what's possible, so you can focus on what you do best: running your business.
