About us

We provide complete ICT solutions for SMEs for a fixed price per month via certified 1A-partners.

In 2001 1A First Alternative started development on a network solution for SME with the idea that ICT should contribute to productivity and should not cost unnecessary amounts of time.

The focus points were:

• a random employee should be able to easily perform daily administration
• updates should be done automatically
• there should be a continuous trajectory, meaning no ‘old’ versions
• monitoring of the hardware and software should be done continuously

In particular for companies with 5 to 50 employees there is much indistinctness about how ICT can assist making a business run smoother. 10 years ago we started development on the 1A server. After 2 years of hard work we managed to mould the complex matter into useable, and especially comprehensible, components and marketed it as a continuous service. The 1A server is the heart of a company’s ICT. Read more about how we do this »
