The West Midlands IT Association (WMita) was established as the private sector organisation responsible for the development of a credible and thriving IT industry within the West Midlands. Building on this success the United Kingdom IT Association (UKITA) was launched in 2006.
The primary focus of the organisation is to encourage the growth of small and medium sized businesses (SME's) through the provision of training, the delivery of business networking opportunities and by promoting the credentials and image of the industry in general. It is an elite band of some of the finest IT specialists in the region. Member companies work together across a variety of product and service sectors, providing a high quality and sustainable service and value for money solutions.
WMita was originally created through the forming of regional IT networking groups, to form a region-wide body for IT companies, meaning that the members are at the very heart of the association. You can view details of the history of UKITA here.
