Our story in the outsourcing industry
Our mission is to make our clients successful by offering innovative combinations of multilingual people backed by proven processes and technologies at exceptional value for money.
It’s been said that great things come from humble beginnings – our story is no different.
Our origins take us back to a time before Apple launched it’s iPhone. To a time when the communication technology race was in its infancy and the need for call center outsourcing services was growing exponentially in order to cope with the demand. Websites (and everything else internet related) were a tough concept to grasp for the not-so-tech-savvy public and for the ones that were, an opportunity not always pursued with good intent. Content moderation became a demand and we were there to meet it.
We took the challenges straight on, adapting and improving along the way. What we lacked in experience, we made up for by being open-minded and enthusiastic. Clients were happy, and were even awarded (link to awards) for our prowess. Sure, things didn’t always go to plan but we made sure when they didn’t, we learned from those experiences and became better through them.
Our Vision: Succeeding through our clients’ success
By 2020, Conectys will be the multilingual outsourcing market leader, serving clients from all regions of the world in all mainstream global languages. We will achieve our 2020 vision by always remaining loyal to our core values.
