About Longsight

The Longsight Group provides a broad range of information services to the higher education and non-profit communities.

We help our clients explore, understand and take advantage of innovative applications of web technologies. While our business is based on technology, we believe strongly that our clients want careful, personal attention to their information and communication needs. We do not conduct business exclusively online; we look forward to the opportunity to speak with you in person about your needs. Please begin this conversation by contacting us so that we can schedule a time to talk at your convenience.

  • We operate our own dedicated servers to provide highly secure and reliable web hosting for our clients. We specialize in value-added support for open-source applications for e-learning, communication and collaboration.
  • We develop and support a range of web-based information services such as online databases, mailing lists, web forums and analytical tools.
  • We are called upon frequently to help institutions of higher education plan strategies for effectively deploying information technologies.
  • We offer customized training programs on open source applications. Our teams of instructors deliver technology training sessions on-site and online.

To ensure the best possible services, our work is guided by a set of policies.

The Longsight Group has been in business since 1978, a time when information technology looked very different than it does today. For several years, we developed and supported a range of database applications including a bibliographic management system, laboratory database systems with graphical extensions, and a comprehensive association management system including general ledger, member and subscription management, and event registration.

After working on educational technology projects together since 1997, Scott Siddall and Sam Ottenhoff formally incorporated The Longsight Group in 2002 as a member-managed LLC in the state of Ohio.
