CEO: Founded in 2004 by Leo Lammerink, a Dutch national who is also know for his superb support as "leolam" on the Joomla  Forums, the rapid growing company has become a household name in the Joomla community. 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 rebranding of the corporate identity and after careful consultations with external professional Marketing and PR-advisers the all new branded

Global Web Services

was born. New exciting products have been launched with the rebranding such as "Our-Churches" packages, with a focus on Church- and Congregation communities and the complete new concept of OSAM, which represents a full Operational System Application Management portfolio, providing full serviced and managed hosting combined with CMS scripting outsourced (webmaster) Management.
