What we do

During Earth Hour, March 30 (20:30 to 21:30), we encourage all employees and customers to participate in Earth Hour.

We encourage you to participate in Earth Hour by switching off and try new climate-friendly actions in daily life, both at work and at home. We also encourage you to show support for Earth Hour by turning off the lights in your personal profiles in social media. Simply take a picture of yourself in the darkness and upload as a new profile picture. Then share it with your friends and colleagues and help spread the word. Use the tags #earthhour, #connect2earth, #ELITS

Earth Hour has become an exciting evening by both children and grown-ups. There are many ways to make the evening extra cozy, fun and memorable. Here are some examples:

ELITS has enjoyed significant growth over the past few years and is now strengthening its management with the addition of Börje Berg. Börje has taken responsibility for operations in Stockholm, to strengthen ELITS’ position and growth in the Stockholm area.

Börje has extensive and solid experience working with attracting, recruiting, and developing IT consultants. He has more than 25 years of experience in the industry and has most recently been running his own consulting business. Prior to that, Börje has had various roles, both as a leader and Key Account Manager with Martinsson Information Systems, Entra Data, Financial Systems, and Emric. Börje’s holistic view gained over years of working locally, nationally and internationally provides a valuable perspective regarding the factors that are most important for achieving success in consulting.

– The idea that we must always strive to be sitting next to our customers rather than across from them, and that we really do care so much about our customers and coworkers creates a warm feeling for me. Building a successful company based upon such strong values that permeate everything within the company requires incredibly skilled consultants and leaders. It is with pride and great enthusiasm that I take on the task of being responsible for our business in Stockholm. Our employees and customers will get the benefit of the skills and experiences that I have acquired in my professional life. I see great opportunities to further develop our position as a leading provider of IT specialist services with smart solutions that streamline our customers’ IT environments. It will be incredibly fun to work together with my colleagues at ELITS to continue to develop the business while still maintaining the family feel.” says Börje Berg.

– Börje is a strategic and important recruitment for us and we are pleased to welcome him to the team. Börje was chosen based on his broad expertise and experience within ELITS’ most important business areas. The fact that he is now on board with us is really an asset, both because he is well established in the industry, but also for our future development. With Börje’s energy, drive, and extensive industry knowledge, he will be able to contribute in business from day one, says Olle Hasselblad, CEO.

We have always known that we have a unique and valued company culture internally, but naturally it´s a great honour to be recognised as one of the best workplaces in Sweden, says Linda Rämsberg, HR-director at ELITS.” Linda continues “- We encourage entrepreneurial drive and innovative thinking as we trust all our employees with their own decision making. Confidence and the ability to take initiative sparks creativity, which is the foundation of all real improvement and success.

For us, this is only the beginning. As we are in the IT service business, and our true value is the competence and know-how that we bring to the table, we are never going to stop to improving. Quality is built from within, but recognitions like this allows us to show existing and new clients that with ELITS you get expert resources, that enjoy their work, and bring that mindset to the workplace every day. Naturally this benefits the companies that we work for in the long run”, says Olle Hasselblad, CEO.

ELITS is a bit like Iceland. Not that known, to be frank not known at all. We know that after conducting a brand awareness survey earlier this year. Are we proud of what we have achieved during the past ten years? Yes! 130 employees, 12 different locations around the world, working with one of the leading companies in the ICT business on a global scale, 19 different nationalities in the workforce, great results in our customer experience surveys, and the list goes on. Proud, but still with the ambition to go further. Not primarily in terms of revenue or profit, but in terms of more customer relationships, with the ambition to have the highest customer satisfaction in the business. 

I imagine that Iceland has won a lot of fans outside their borders during the last couple of weeks, based on their performance that has been broadcasted to millions of viewers. Committed fans that shared the hopes and dreams of a small island nation. There is an important lesson to be learned in all of this. Companies need fans that share the same passion and ambition for the business. So how do you turn an existing or future client into a fan? We at ELITS have our own take on it; by exceeding expectations, putting the clients’ business ahead of our own and building the best team in the industry. Unfortunately, they don´t broadcast the European Championship in IT, but if they were, I would say that ELITS is equivalent to the Icelandic team. I would welcome an opportunity to “broadcast” ELITS directly to you, and give you a huge return on your bet!

Please feel free to get in touch, if you would like to have some more info about ELITS and how we can help you excel in your IT operations. We want more fans, and we are prepared to work hard as a team to exceed expectations!

We all know that creating a great customer experience is one the most effective tools when it comes to creating new and long-lived business relationships. So how do you define the best customer experience? What added values do you fill these four words with?

Most IT businesses try to market one of two things; cost save or technology that delivers efficiency. We at ELITS have our take on it; by empowering our employees and striving for a great corporate culture, we deliver the best customer experience. ELITS founder and CINO Fredrik Sjöstedt has always said…

It´s very easy for any company to adopt a tagline or produce marketing that promises a great customer experience and satisfaction. But how do you move an entire organisation from the promise of such a value, to actually delivering it. As Steve Jobs famously said:

Yes, Apple is a hardware-focused company, but the words apply to any business having any form of relationship with a customer. Meaning all corporations. That is why all business and innovation at ELITS first pass through our core values; Local, Trust, Flexible and Responsive.

Local: We believe in building strong, lasting relationships with our customers, employees, suppliers and communities. A key component in this is by being present and available, working locally with our customers. This allows us to deliver true value and quality of work directly to the people around us.

Trust:  We are honest and transparent externally and internally, always acting in our customers best interest. This is demonstrated by always delivering on our promises and providing an environment of trust and personal growth.

Flexible: We strive to find creative ways to get things done, and constantly want to improve – As individuals and as an organisation.

Responsive: We encourage creativity and embrace change, generating innovative solutions to changing business environments. By taking initiative and seeking simplicity we create, adapt and continuously enhance tools and processes for out customers. We make the effort to understand our customers and adapt our services to meet those needs.

Company values are the basis and provide a solid foundation for everyone to progress from. But how do you shift from words to action? At ELITS the solution is simple, we empower our employees. There is only one unremitting truth in business; change is constant. We at ELITS understand change, and we have made it our mission to come to grip with what is needed for our customers to be successful in an ever-changing market situation. Whether customers are experiencing increased competitive pressure or shifting markets conditions they need to have the ability, capability and solutions in place to act quickly and decisively. This is what our employees are experts at, making a sustainable difference for the customer and have the courage and mandate to do so. Our consultants understand that business and IT are just two sides of the same coin and therefore always implement efficient, flexible and innovative solutions. ELITS´ success lies within the fact that we, as a team together with our clients, dare to push the envelope and come up with inspiring, useful and business oriented solutions.

We mentioned courage previously, that is a tough one. Because courage is hard to describe. How do you evoke courage in yourself, in your day-to-day work and make it a part of doing business? We at Elits have our take on it; we explore courage by listening to others, explaining our services in an uncomplicated fashion and stepping out of the comfort zone. We have the courage to be open-minded and suggest solutions that we know are the best for our clients. This makes us different from our competitors. This transforms us into an IT-provider that is flexible, responsive and accommodating.

ELITS – Another kind of IT.
