Sophiq is a global company making businesses work locally. We help clients around the world to implement our sophisticated Leadership 4.0 Platform, which provides executives and business leaders overview and grip over their Performance in an easy, fast and flexible way! The integration of best-of-breed solutions enables you to take your Business to the next level.
The concept of Sophiq was achieved through crowd sourcing; More than 300 managers and executives from out of different companies, have shared their visions and ideas. They all had one thing in common: They were tired of the scattered use of tools and instruments in order to get their processes and activities working in an aligned way, trying to attempt getting overview and control over their business.
In close cooperation with several launching customers, the bêta version of Sophiq was developed, thoroughly tested and made available.
We have an extensive background in Business and IT consultancy, so we perfectly understand what Businesses need:
Solutions that can be implemented in a lean and fast way, at minimum risk or upfront investments.
In our vision, the demands for smart software solutions have to meet the following requirements:
• Business driven instead of ICT driven;
• Self Service instead of expensive implementation via consultants;
• Flexible and Scalable;
• Quick and easy to customize;
• No divestments;
• Multiplatform deployment: Mobile and Cloud support.
That experience combined with what we had learned building our own companies led to the start of Sophiq.
