Cygate AB
Cygate is a Nordic company at heart. We are represented in both Sweden and Finland. As a result of our partnership with the leading vendors and our experience of creating solutions for Internet service providers, telecoms, government authorities, banks, financial institutes, Internet companies and the manufacturing industry, we have amassed a large body of technical knowledge on IT infrastructure. We see it as a great advantage to surround ourselves with people who are not trapped in the rectilinear thought patterns of the adult world. For it is only when we dare to let our thoughts roam freely – when we “think outside the box” – that we come up with new ideas. Children have a special way of seeing the world, without the blinders of adulthood. We draw inspiration from their unfiltered vision and logic. This helps us to create tomorrow’s solutions. We have a high competence and knowledge in server&storage, networking, security, Video, Unified Communication, application and Digital Media Distribution
