The Grey Matter Story

By Developers, For Developers

In 1983, a team of developers were fed up going to different software vendors to buy all the tools they needed. Wouldn't it be easier to go to a specialist reseller that was dedicated to developers and buy everything in one place? It would have been, except there wasn't one. And that's how Grey Matter came into being; to make life easier for developers who want to buy the best tools from a single source and deal with knowledgeable people.

In late 2020 Grey Matter was acquired by the Wayside Technology Group (NASDAQ: WSTG) and we have grown to become a global Solutions and Services business with offices in the UK, Canada, Ireland and the USA.

Now, almost 40 years on, the technology and platforms may have changed, but our core purpose remains the same: empowering developers and technology driven businesses to achieve more.

TechXtend becomes Grey Matter

Grey Matter will expand its ISV, cloud service, mapping and IoT business in the US and Canada through the rebrand of TechXtend to Grey Matter.

“We will not be changing the great service that TechXtend has offered customers for many years. However, we will be investing to bring cloud and mapping specialists, as well as technical support resources, to the US and Canada.”

Matthew Whitton, Managing Director of Grey Matter

Enthusiastic, friendly, supportive, creative, responsible ... these are just a few of the ways our culture has been described.

We're also ambitious but know it's not all about short-term profit, so we work hard to support our people and the planet (it's the only one we have after all). And whilst we're often working with the latest emerging cloud technologies, we keep our feet on the ground and focus on our customer's aims.
