The KITA Academy
The KITA Academy was developed in partnership with Microsoft curriculum, to equip students’ with the relevant IT skill set which they require in today’s technology driven job market and to provide adequate development resources for teachers/educators. The KITA Academy operates both in the junior and secondary schools.

What market gap did you spot that motivated you to start this company?
The idea that spawned Krystal Digital was initiated when I attempted to secure my academic transcript. It was a difficult and frustrating experience. It was then I saw potential to develop a School Information Management System that would not only improve the storage/preservation and retrieval of academic records but would also position these schools to harness the benefits of digitization.

The changing dynamics in the educational sector introduced by the western world also signaled me to tighten my focus on the Basic and Secondary Education sub-sector.

Who is your target market?
Aside the educational sector in Nigeria, we also proffer solutions to organizations both locally and internationally that will likely have a need for a database solutions.

How does your company make money, what are your revenues so far?
As a brand known for the School information management system, we make money from charges levied on clients for our continuous timely service delivery from the various products we offer. At the moment Krystal Digital Network solutions has an annual revenue of more than $3 Million.

Who would you say is your major competition in this space at the moment?
Our major competition is “we” as a company. Every day we try our best to become better than what we were in any previous project. As a company, we understand that our clients come first so we make it a priority to outdo ourselves by coming up with a better innovation to beat our previous solution.
On the global market we try to attain or even surpass ICT companies providing solutions. These companies include Moodle, Blackboard, Share Points etc.

What is your vision for the company in the next 5 years?
We believe deeply in the power of creating values by harnessing all the resources within our disposal. Our vision is to become a household brand both Nationally and internationally, known for its innovative database solution in the private and public sector.

What advice would you give upcoming entrepreneurs?
My advice to upcoming startups generally is to be a problem solver i.e. identify a problem, create a solution to meet the need and you eventually get returns for your hard work.
