About External Reality

External Reality has paused new business. Its website says it is not currently taking on new customers or projects, and that existing customers will continue to be supported by phone or through its support email address.

Behind the name is External Reality Limited, registered in Inverness in February 2016. Companies House lists its work as IT services, and its website carries the line 'Solutions from an outside view' without any product or coverage details today.

If you already buy from External Reality, the support contacts on its website are the place to start. Anyone looking for a new provider will need to look elsewhere for now.
