Neil Nicolson
CEO, Systal Technology Solutions
Every entrepreneur knows that people are imperative to the success of a business and Neil Nicolson firmly believes that creating a prosperous IT business strategy cannot be done without a diverse workforce.
In 2008, Neil founded Systal, taking a different approach to the typical contract-based model and offshore workforce that is so common in the IT industry. Priority has been on targeting a return on people rather than return on equity, investing in apprentices and graduate trainees, as well as ongoing professional development. Neil aims to empower employees to fulfil their creativity as Systal expands.
We are committed to providing an inclusive working environment for our employees who all stem from a diverse talent pool. I believe diversity within a workforce fosters empowerment, and ultimately, unique contributions from different employees allow us to make better decisions for the business.
Having access to leading technology partners is a key priority for Neil to not only keep staff current with the latest technologies but to stay a step ahead of the competition and ensure customers achieve their IT goals.
