Why are we "doing IT differently"?

"If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking."

George Patton

Thinking 'outside-the-box'

We are not trying to be weird or different but over the past five years, our unique and fresh approach towards our projects helped our Clients to be more competitive in their individual industries by opening new possibilities and challenging their assumptions, making them different from their competition! We like to KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid!) Simplicity requires a certain amount of ruthlessness not carelessness.

We help you to do things differently!

You are reading this because you need the services of an IT company to assist you in one way or the other. You want to do SOMETHING differently. Our business is to assist our Clients in, not only getting what they require, but making sure the outcome fits in with their current business and vision!

We are constantly learning new skills!

In the IT sector, as many others, things change at a rapid pace. We don't jump on just any bandwagon that comes along. We look at our current skill set and the time to master, our current Client and prospective Client requirements and how the new technology will enhance their experience. We are constantly learning new skills and are applying it to projects as they require it.

SERVICE!

We hate bad service and so does everyone else but most people just accept mediocre attempts because nobody really expects EXCELLENT SERVICE anymore. At eCcenTrix we go out of our way to ensure that you get THE BEST service possible by providing you with a 'from-start-to-finish' service. If your project needs a third party vendor to complete your requirements, we will assist in the selection and manage the project in order to give you an EXCELLENT ONE STOP SERVICE! It makes things easier, doesn't it!

Our History

eCcenTrix was started at the beginning of 2002 when the founder member, Elbie Louw, got retrenched from a South African dot com company, Tanua Technologies. She has been in the IT industry since 1988, doing development for corporate companies like Telkom, UNISA, Standard Bank etc.

Our Vision IS..

Our vision at eCcenTrix is to grow eCcenTrix into a client centric corporate company, extending our offerings worldwide, and continue developing products that will make businesses more productive and efficient and to start a software development village on the farm, training the underprivileged talented school leavers to be successful software developers and designers who can compete on the international market.
