SkyyTel Business Overview
Skyytel Ltd. is an aggressive communication technology firm where global knowledge about the world markets is one of its most potent strategic tools. Take Skyytel's past investments in Africa building partnerships when many of its competitors believed then that existing environment were too much an impediment to invest considerable amount of resources because of perceived political instability. Today with its list of technology and strategic partners, Skyytel is preparing to enter a growth period after a few years of zero-growth conditions due to economic conditions and volatility in some western telecommunication foreign markets. Sub-Saharan Africa has always been a focal point. Alliances with technology partners have helped develop many value added products and services to be commercialize in collaboration with national telecom operators across the great continent. An 8 year of relentless efforts in building capacity for telecom innovators will come to prove that this long-term approach of incremental investment in human capital, technology resources and infrastructure rebuilding will take the company to new levels of continued positive growth.
In 2002, SKYYTEL grew out of a highly successful calling card platform in Montreal Canada. Amid a growing demand for lower prices and higher volumes, the founders realized that to grow in scope and profit in the nascent VOIP industry, global PoPs
(Points of Presence) were just as essential as bulk minutes from industry traders.
Within months, SKYYTEL established itself with partnerships and licenses in many countries; Romania, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Bahrain and Ivory Coast, amongst others. Under its innovative management team, it developed unique software solutions for managing, monitoring and sharing information internally about its routes.
With its vision, it even extended its reach into telecommunication infrastructure development projects in Congo, Mali, and Guinea.
Not content with sitting on its successes. SKYYTEL has since aggressively pursued a dominant role in developing its resale division. It has multiplied its sales figures by investing into its own infrastructure and manpower, following the motto: “work smarter, not harder”.
With a renewed focus on quality employees and streamlined procedures,
SKYYTEL's roster has swelled to over 40 staff and partners working globally to increase satisfaction and route quality.
