Rival Technologies’ Post

A little past a month working for Nyla Technology Solutions. Work's been fulfilling, meaningful, and best of all 40h weeks lol. Legit was told to go home at noon Friday, aka "have a good weekend!" multiple times til I got the hint...bc I'd hit my 40 then lol. So nice! Work stays AT WORK, and even though I have some corporate jazz on my phone through a profile (my choice), I don't feel tethered by it. When you interview with companies, sometimes you can tell their culture from the jump; others it takes years or decades to see it unfold...and not always to where it fits for you or you feel you fit. Nyla and I just "fit". Who honestly knows what the months or years from now will bring, but I'm excited to work in a company like this and have missed the "small business" aspect for way too long. Cheers! #smallbusiness #nylatechnologysolutions #meaningfulwork #cmdtech #engineering #infrastructureengineering

Title: Reflecting on the Journey of Open V: A Story of Growth, Resilience, and Innovation As we step into the New Year, it's a time for reflection, gratitude, and renewed determination. With over 18 years since our inception, Open V has traversed a remarkable path, evolving from its humble beginnings in Newton Park to establishing its presence in the heart of Cape Road. Our journey has been shaped by the ebb and flow of partnerships, the relentless march of technology, and the unwavering dedication of our team. From the outset, our strategy has been fluid, adapting to the dynamic landscape of business and technology. Over the past three years alone, we've navigated through four pivotal shifts, a testament to our agility and commitment to innovation. From our origins as a Telecoms Company, we've transformed into a Solution Driven Business, a journey marked by trial, error, and invaluable lessons learned. Along the way, we've embraced challenges as opportunities for growth, fostering a culture of resilience and self-belief within our organization. Our success story is not merely measured by numbers, but by the lives we've touched and the relationships we've cultivated. With over 600 clients and a dedicated team of 31 staff members, Open V has transcended borders, serving both national and international clients with distinction. For me, personally, this journey has been nothing short of exhilarating. Each day brings new challenges, new opportunities, and the chance to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those we serve. As one of  the owner of Open V Business Solutions, I am humbled by the trust and confidence placed in us by our clients and inspired by the unwavering dedication of our team. As we look to the future, our commitment remains unwavering—to innovate, to adapt, and to serve with excellence. The road ahead may be uncertain, but with our collective resolve and passion for what we do, I have no doubt that Open V will continue to thrive and inspire for years to come. In sharing our story, I hope to encapsulate the essence of Open V—a company driven not only by ambition but by integrity, humility, and a steadfast commitment to excellence. Together, let us embrace the journey ahead, knowing that our greatest achievements lie not in the destination, but in the experiences and lessons learned along the way. #excitingtimes #customer #staff #dedication #enjoyingthenjourney

One of the things I love the most about working in a startup is the "all hands-on deck" attitude. When something needs to be done - Everyone pitches in. This week we are moving to a new office - a bigger one that will give us room to expand (did I mention that we are #hiring? Look at the Lidwave page for details) - and everyone helps with the moving. No one pulled rank, no one came up with excuses - we all "pulled our weight", literally. In the image: on the left, and a bit out of focus, our fearless leader, Lidwave's CEO, Yehuda Vidal. On the right, our Opto-mechanics Wizard, Dvir Rosenberg.

At Remofirst, we recently hosted a webinar about approaching global expansion with a local approach. Part of the conversation with the Global Class team included discussing which strategies will best serve companies when expanding into new international markets. 🌏 One important element that came up is that employing local talent in key international markets first can lead to the discovery of new opportunities. 💡 The big takeaway → hiring local teams who understand the nuances in that market can make all the difference in your expansion success. 🚀 #Business #GlobalExpansion #Hiring
