The challenges, though many, have not stopped the young minds behind Intellect Storm (IS), a local IT solutions company, from trying to change how Guyanese access country-specific information with the launch of their mobile software application Directory.gy.
Formed by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Rowen Willabus in late 2014 with assistance from friends turned partners Tristian Thompson and Ronson Grey, Intellect Storm is said to be a ‘business of solutions’ that continues to grow and meet the needs of businesses with the help of a diverse group of individuals who possess various ideas relating to problem solving.
Willabus explained that the idea of providing a marketing solutions forum for business services came after analysing the type of services that businesses were receiving and seeing that there was an opportunity for the company to add more value.
Services offered by Intellect Storm include domain registration, website design and development, website hosting, search engine optimisation, computer networking, sever maintenance, product sourcing/online shopping, social media marketing and advertising, videography, graphic design and application development.
However, the road to success is often plagued with challenges and this was no different for the determined members of IS, who had difficulties sourcing funds for their start-up and making do with less than efficient internet connections.
