GWS: The Global Web Services Group

Founded in 2004 by Leo Lammerink , a Dutch national with long-term global Sr. Exec mgt. presence and experience with among others Philips, Nixdorf and Siemens. Known also now for his superb support as "leolam" on the Joomla  Forums with almost 20K support asists and Member of the Joomla Bug Squad and Joomla CMS Release Team, the rapid growing company has become a household name in the Joomla community and the #1 Professional Services Provider in the Joomlasphere. Initially founded as JooMaGroup (a playful abbreviation of Joomla/Mambo), the ever increasing global orientation and the market driven decision to cease support services to the Mambo platform resulted in a decision in 2009 for a full re-branding of the corporate identity and after careful consultations with external professional Marketing and PR-advisers the all new branded "GWS Global Web Services" was  born. New exciting products have been launched since than such as a complete new concept OSAM, which represents a full Operational System Application Management portfolio, providing full serviced and Managed Hosting combined with Joomla! Outsourced (Webmaster) Management.

Comprised of 14 professionally trained developers, engineers and web designers, the design studio of GWS has thus far designed, built and maintained over 1,550 Joomla driven websites.
