In conversation with the Co-Founders

Can you brief us about the history of your company?

Linium set out to capture an opportunity unfolding in the evolving IT industry of the early 2000s. At the commencement of the dot-com era, businesses moved their investments from costly ventures to those that leveraged the power of the Internet. This became a primary growth strategy: to refocus on core business challenges while also understanding the real value of technology and its impact on business. Companies were looking to understand how to utilize and exploit new-age technology, all while achieving maximum ROI. These concepts—combined with the founders’ knowledge of both IT consulting and strategic recruiting solutions—created a unique business opportunity for Linium.

How beneficial do you think it is to combine latest technology with business objectives?

Our approach is based on thousands of customer experiences, proven processes and leading industry best practices. We aim to take a wider focus than most business technology consulting firms; rather than simply implementing a solution to solve a single problem or set of problems, our methods take an enterprise perspective and are business-driven. We focus on building the business by giving our clients the solutions and strategies to lay the foundation for enterprise excellence. This provides lower time to value, while allowing customers to focus on what’s most important: running the business.

What is it that differentiates Linium from others in the domain?

At Linium, we understand that organizations need to access data, analytics and services quickly; anytime, anywhere. Our solutions are tailored to deliver this exact dynamic focusing on superior customer experiences. We leverage world-class enterprise platforms as the foundation to provide you with the most innovative solutions that enable the capability for customizable mission-critical applications on scalable platforms. We use the mentality of making technology work for you, not the other way around. Rather than just tackling projects, we help clients solve real business challenges to confidently achieve enterprise scale by leveraging the best in people, process and technology.

What are the challenges faced by you and your company?

Linium has been fortunate to continue on a steady growth path despite fluctuations in the economy. Reaching a 123% three-year growth rate from 2010 to 2013 is a direct result of our ability to adapt in today’s ever-changing market. We view our customer’s growth as our own success and hope to continue to overcome business challenges and experience continual growth in 2015.

What are your present and future focus areas?

We are looking to extend ourinvestment in mobility and are working to build the next generation of Enterprise Service and Performance Management by introducing all means of business through a Service Driven Platform enabling: Content-as-a-Service, Knowledge-as-a-Service, and Data-as-a-Service. We believe in delivering what we call, “The Art of the Possible,” enabling our clients to successfully deliver innovative, customer-centric business services better, faster and cheaper.
