About Us

Hi, I'm Abie Helberg founder of Catalyst Innovation. Since I can remember I've been tinkering  with technology. With a keen interest in electronics and gadgets I eventually found my way into computers and software engineering. Over the last 10 years I've spent most of my time on contract or employment building database driven applications and websites for business. In 2008 it was time for a change and so Catalyst Innovation was reborn into a full service solution provider and consultancy partner to business.

I've always found it interesting how big corporate companies seem to have the technology edge over SME's,... most likely due to bigger budgets? But nowadays this seems redundant. If you know what to look for and have the time to do the research, technology can be affordable and give your business a competitive edge. Understanding your needs, analysing the problem and scoping out the requirements goes a long way to implementing a solid stable solution. In the end knowledge is power and will make and save you money.

That's where we come in. We focus on SME's and as a small upstart we face the same growth pains our clients face. We have found ways through research, outsourcing and clever design to overcome our challenges and now help our clients find solutions to their headache's.

We can offer a full end to end service and our team includes print and web designers, HTML mark-up specialist, web and desktop application developers, database guru's and reliable specialist infrastructure and hosting providers.

We also partner with providers of office automation services and can provide connectivity, office telephony, backup, email and other office continuity services.

We're a honest little company and cherish a close personal relationship with our clients. Trust is key and our clients regard us as reliable advisors. We love to chat so get in touch anytime and ask us anything, we are just looking for an excuse to tell you what we think.
