We are CST

Not your average tech company.

Reducing the risk of things going wrong gives you peace of mind and a stable platform to build your system on. It also leads to better results, lower overheads and a less stressful customer experience.

Why trust CST?

These are the values that our team and services are built on.

Your virtual IT department

Using CST is just like having your own IT department, only better. We try harder because that’s what good suppliers do.

Your 4th emergency service

Most clients take their IT infrastructure for granted until something goes wrong. We’re ready when it does.

Only happy when you are

In our own nerdish way, we’re customer service kings. Our simple approach: cutting-edge technologies combined with friendly old-fashioned service.

CST Promise

We are committed to providing you with the best possible service. We listen, we understand, we’re always here for you.
