ATIO's history


Johannesburg, 02 Sep 2014

ATIO, which was founded in 1986, did most of its early work providing telecommunications infrastructure to the defence industry.

From those humble beginnings, through hard work, determination and the correct focus, ATIO has become a leader in providing specialised ICT services to niche markets within all sectors of business.

According to ATIO's CEO, Chris Van der Sande, although ATIO is probably one of the largest service providers in the voice market, the company has never aimed to be the biggest, but the best. "We believe that our competitive advantage lies in the strength of the relationships that we have with our customers and partners.

"Having carefully researched the various best-of-breed offerings available in the market, ATIO has partnered with companies who are specialists in their field to deliver an exceptionally high calibre of service to our customers.

"As trusted advisors to our clients, ATIO assists them to navigate today's ever-changing technological environment to ensure that they are not overwhelmed by the need to continually improve their performance in this evolving environment to ensure high levels of customer satisfaction."

How has ATIO managed to move away from the historic "one size fits all" mentality within the ICT industry?

This is largely due to ATIO's culture which is centred on the "Power of Curiosity". The ATIO experience is established on the principles of being restless, responsive and rock solid. Our employees pride themselves on being restless of mind, having boundless energy and never being satisfied with the status quo. ATIO is never complacent, constantly learning and reinventing with a purpose. We are always alert in our search for new frontiers as a challenger brand. ATIO is responsive to our customer's needs and our solutions and services evolve with those and remain completely relevant and dependable.

Van der Sande notes: "What makes ATIO unique is our skills and business ethics. It's a philosophy that has led us to develop a culture and style different to any other ICT organisation in the industry, delivering greater benefits and value to our clients." ATIO's mission is to help its customers generate revenues, improve customer service, optimise operational efficiency and reduce costs through the innovative use of relevant enabling information and communication technologies.
