The whole stack,
under one contract.

We have supplied institutional clients with computing and office technology for more than two decades — laptops, desktops, workstations, servers, tablets and rugged field devices, with the power protection, racks, displays, printing and consumables that surround them.

Sourcing runs through authorised distribution so warranty and manufacturer support arrive with the equipment. Where a tender names a manufacturer we obtain authorisation through that brand's channel; where the specification is open we qualify a second supply route before committing to a delivery date.

This is what separates DNET from a reseller. We have operated as a licensed internet service provider under the Nigerian Communications Commission, held our own IPv4 allocation and autonomous system number through AfriNIC, run BGP peering, and contracted wholesale capacity directly from Main One's submarine cable infrastructure and Globacom's terrestrial fibre — and we deliver dedicated internet access and enterprise voice over our IP/MPLS network under contract today.

We deliver internet access by fibre, licensed microwave radio and C-band or Ku-band satellite, and we design and build the networks underneath — structured cabling, campus switching, enterprise wireless, MPLS and IP-VPN interconnection, and the failover arrangements that keep a critical application available when the primary link drops.

Equipment delivered to a loading bay is not a working system. We treat supply and deployment as one scope: site survey and preparation, installation, configuration to an agreed build standard, integration with existing infrastructure, testing against specification, commissioning, as-built documentation and formal handover with user orientation.

Multi-site programmes run as projects — a schedule, a site-by-site acceptance record and one point of contact, the discipline that comes from maintaining infrastructure in every state of the federation.

DNET built and hosted some of the earliest serious web platforms in Nigerian publishing, including an automated newspaper publishing system with subscription payment, secure transactions, archive access and editorial workflow — at a time when very few organisations in the country transacted online at all.

That practice carries forward into database-driven platforms, internal business applications, public-facing portals for government and professional bodies, content management, e-commerce and payment integration, and the interfaces that connect new systems to the ones already running.

We have hosted client systems outside Nigeria since 2000 for a blunt reason: local power and connectivity could not guarantee availability. Put the workload where it will actually stay up. That is still how we advise on cloud — except the options are now richer and the choice is a real design decision rather than a default.

We assess which workloads belong in public cloud, which belong on-premises behind the organisation's own controls and which belong in a hybrid arrangement, then migrate, configure, secure and manage them. For organisations with data residency obligations or a fragile last mile, hybrid is often the correct answer and we will say so even when it is the smaller sale.

Security has been part of our delivery since we were putting firewalls in front of newspaper publishing platforms and securing card transactions for online subscription. As a network operator we have had to defend infrastructure, not merely advise on it.

We assess exposure, implement the controls that close the gaps that matter, and operate them afterwards — perimeter and endpoint protection, identity and access management, segmentation, email and web filtering, logging and monitoring, backup integrity, and the policy and awareness work without which technical controls get worked around inside a month.

Artificial intelligence is arriving in Nigerian organisations mostly as a slogan. Our interest is narrower and more useful: the work inside an organisation that is repetitive, document-heavy and expensive in staff hours, and which automation and language models can now genuinely absorb.

We start by finding the two or three processes that pay for themselves inside a year rather than proposing a transformation programme. Typical candidates are invoice and document processing, records digitisation and search, report generation, first-line enquiry handling, and data extraction from forms currently retyped by hand — built on the organisation's own data, with proper attention to where that data is allowed to go.

The least glamorous line here, and the one that most reliably decides whether a technology investment survives. We operate scheduled preventive maintenance at national scale: a defined visit frequency per site, defined fault categories, defined response and restoration targets, a named escalation path and monthly reporting.

Our framework separates emergency, major and minor faults with distinct diagnostic and repair targets, guarantees availability against a stated percentage, and sets planned-outage windows and notice periods in advance. These are the terms institutional clients require — and we have been operating to them, under audit, for years.

Clients come to us with a decision rather than a purchase: refresh or extend, move to cloud or not, how to connect a new site, what an incoming system will really cost to run for five years.

We advise on IT strategy and roadmaps, infrastructure and network architecture, procurement specification and evaluation, vendor and technical due diligence, and the total-cost-of-ownership analysis that turns a capital request into a defensible business case. We are willing to advise against a purchase — an advisor who never does that is a salesperson.

Multi-site technology deployments fail on coordination far more often than on technology. We manage delivery to a schedule with defined milestones, site-level acceptance, risk and issue logs, change control and structured reporting — carried over from running scheduled service obligations across thirty-eight locations at once, where a missed week is visible immediately.

Every system we deploy is handed over with orientation, and we deliver standalone training programmes: end-user computing and productivity, administrator and technical training on deployed platforms, security awareness, and executive briefings for leadership teams who must make technology decisions without being technologists.
