Absolutely. SCAN is a retailer of computer systems and components. HEXUS Ltd is a Limited company that reports on technology and operates this website and also bit-tech.net.
The two companies (HEXUS and SCAN) are entirely independent. However, SCAN (like other companies that host forums here) have their own moderators, and (obviously!) anyone talking about a competitor retailer
in those forums might reasonably expect those posts to be removed.
(I should add that the Admins/Mods with usernames orange or red text are not employees of either company
HEXUS employees have blue usernames)
