We’re a small company doing big things! We work with organisations of diverse size, from smaller start-ups to large multi-nationals. While the lion’s share of our work is with small to medium organisations of 10-200 employees, it is also commonplace for us to offer solutions to large organisations. Our clients though are less likely to be defined by their size. Rather, they are characterised by their approach to technology: innovative, open-minded and proactive. We foster partnerships with ethical clients capable of recognising the value we bring to the table. Réseau understand business. Not just ours, but yours. Our foundation is not only technical but strategic, entrepreneurial and business-savvy. This informs how we view problems, potential and possibility. It allows us to communicate in the language of outcomes, of win-win, and of benefits rather than the unintelligible.
