A Very Capy 2017<\/strong><\/h1>\n

2017 sure was a heck of a year for Capytech.\u00a0 I\u2019ve heard in a few places that it takes about 1000 days for a business to really start to get traction – and that\u2019s proven fairly true for us as well.<\/p>\n

We got going late in 2013 and I went full time at the end of 2014 with Jason following about another year later.\u00a0 So we\u2019ve now spent a good period of time dedicated to our company, and we can start to see the reward for this now.<\/p>\n

Anyone who\u2019s done business in the UAE for the past couple of years knows that things have been tough.\u00a0 We started just as the oil price tanked, and budgets (in particular training!) were cut.\u00a0 We obviously couldn\u2019t see this coming, what it meant was that it took longer than we might have expected to really build momentum.<\/p>\n

Whilst it might not be true for every sector, I feel like the big budget cuts have been made now and normalcy is returning.\u00a0 Companies are again willing to spend money on their training and investing in e-learning systems.\u00a0 Thankfully with our remote structure, and low overheads, we were able to survive this lean period and emerge stronger.<\/p>\n

Now that we\u2019re better established both clients wise and online, we\u2019re more easy to discover.\u00a0 So when people search for \u201ce-learning Abu Dhabi\u201d we now are likely to be found.\u00a0 So in some respects by keeping things modest and building slowly, we\u2019re in a better position to capitalise when budgets returned.<\/p>\n

From a business front, we\u2019ve successfully delivered to two of the biggest organisations in the UAE: DP World and Majid Al Futtaim.\u00a0 We\u2019ve also partnered with other companies to deliver to a number of different government agencies.\u00a0 This has not only helped the bottom line but also give us greater credibility in the market.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re now working on even bigger deals which we hope will come together in early 2018.\u00a0 With this opportunity, as well as keeping our existing clients thrilled with what we\u2019re delivering – 2018 should be our best year yet.<\/p>\n

So here are a few highlights from 2017:<\/p>\n
