Global Excellence Awards 2018

Acquisition International - Global Excellence Awards 2018 71 18 Acquisition International - Issue 6 2018 YouCal l-it.com aim to create a better way of managing and delivering business around the world. Recently, we spoke to Chris Kirkham to find out more about the successful company. stablished in 2010, YouCal l-it.com cite awards such as Best IT Service Multi- Platform Vendor in the UK 2017 as one of many motivators which drive the company to do what it does best, innovate. Innovation is the key to its ongoing success. When the IT provider was first founded seven years ago, there were many frustrations in service delivery which still exist today. There was no mechanic or system which existed to deliver services with service providers outside of the client’s own systems. This meant that requirements were managed effectively when dealing in house, but when sent to a partner provider the management was lost. Everything was sent by email or via an outsource button which then forced the service provider to change their internal processes just to work with international businesses. Often emails or constant phone calls were the only way of chasing for an update or obtaining call details. This caused delays, miscommunication and had no accountable delivery mechanic. However, YouCal l-it.com ’s unique platform was designed from the ground up to provide a one-stop- shop for service delivery on a Global scale. Chris explains how the company has reinvented the IT services sector. “Fast-forward to 2017, and our unified method of working has become increasingly relevant and continues to make a positive impact on the global service stage. “Essentially, we want to help our customers communicate as effectively as possible. To do this, we make sure that our systems are built using the latest web technologies and cover the widest range of platforms possible. We continually seek ways to add value for our users by developing and expanding our product offering; integrating existing cloud based services and innovating bespoke solutions.” Youcal l-IT.com connects 100’s of service providers directly to those needing IT support or deployment services in a country whilst keeping the communication and delivery of the work seamless. With an end goal in sight, Chris outlines the organisation’s overall mission, as well as explaining what type of clients the team works with.
