Edatum up and running
Wednesday 3rd March 2010
The entrepreneurial spirit is thriving in York and North Yorkshire as the bold launch of another business demonstrates.
Caralyn Ford launched Edatum IT solutions after working as an IT consultant for 11 years. Currently based at her home in Newton-on-Ouse near York, Edatum will provide IT solutions to small and medium sized businesses across North Yorkshire.
“In my previous role I’d had a lot of customers facing experience and it made me realise I had a talent for talking to people in a way they could understand, and that’s quite rare in the IT field,” laughs Caralyn who says that her ability to empathise with her customers is an important part of her customer offer.
“After a while I realised that I could use that ability in my own business, it’s important not to talk down to people and to make them feel included in the process of finding the best solution for their business, and that’s something which Edatum will do.”
And, having decided to launch her business only last September, Edatum went live on March 01.
Caralyn says: “Once I decided to take the plunge it was a pretty quick process. I spoke to people like Business Link to get some advice and I must admit I was really nervous about handing in my notice in but I’m really glad I went through with it.
“We’ve already got a couple of clients whom we’re working with now. I’d really like the business to grow to a point where I could provide job opportunities for other people and have premises of our own.”
