Since our founding in 2015, Calyx has been driven to create a better way for our clients to utilize cloud-based technology in business. Bottom line — it’s about delivering truly transformative solutions that make our clients’ businesses stronger and more profitable. That’s a tall order. Here’s how we do it.
The right people
We make a promise to every client that we’ll deliver a holistic IT approach that’s fully managed and fully supported. Fulfilling this promise requires an operational philosophy that relies on people with natural talent and passion. Why? Because the right people commit to embrace and live our core values:
- Do the right thing
- Own it
- Challenge everything
In doing so, our people support our purpose of creating a better way for our clients to utilize cloud-based technology in business.
The right process
Our customer journey is where the magic happens. (Yes, there are unicorns, which we’ll get into at a later time.) Over the years, we’ve come to realize that there’s a better way to ensure a good fit between us and the businesses we serve. We seek cultural, philosophical, and financial alignment as a foundation for mutual success. Without it, we can’t move forward. With it, we work in harmony toward mutual goals. We’ve created a better way to do IT right, from building objectives and setting expectations, to onboarding new employees with less hassle and disruption. It’s the “measure twice, cut once” rule.
Perhaps our greatest strength is our ability to serve and support. It’s the secret sauce to maintaining happy customers, which is our most important metric. It’s about creating a better way for our clients to utilize technology in business so they can work with less hassle and disruption. When we do what we say we’ll do, we inspire happiness.
The right technology
So, what makes us unique? Ironically, it’s less about the technology and more about the “why.” It’s the value that our methodology and proven solutions bring to our clients. Getting it right means simplifying everything. We eliminate complexity and streamline IT administration, all with a predictable IT spend. Doing it right means delivering a more elegant, easier IT experience with better speed and performance. Finally, keeping it right means we’ve always got your back. Providing exceptional support whenever you need it improves productivity, efficiency, and business agility.
We’re not a household name like Apple, Uber or Tesla. But Calyx is no less committed to finding a better way to utilize cloud-based technology in business.
