In 1987, Dr Leostan Ekeh, a young Nigerian entrepreneur, started the journey of trying to build a business conglomerate. He started this journey with business technology and this saw the birthing of the company known as Task Systems, an information technology company which has maintained dominance in its industry for over two decades. Over the years, Task Systems has come to be recognized in the i
ndustry as the leading ICT solutions provider and systems integrator of repute. It is known for its aggressiveness in pursuing its business goals, both within the customer space and within the ecosystem of competition. The leadership of Task Systems believes that the main quality that has made it possible for it to remain ever so relevant in the constantly changing information technology industry, is its ability to remain in touch with the market and to continue to innovate and adapt. The company stays abreast of global industry trends as a way of continuing to maintain dominance of the Nigerian and the sub-Saharan markets, which it achieves by partnering with global OEMs like HP, Dell, Oracle, Microsoft, NetApp, IBM, and many others. In its spirit of leadership and in a bid to deepen its dominance, Task Systems acquired the business of Buyrite Africa DotCom (BRAD), a sister company to Task Systems within the Zinox group. BRAD was until its acquisition, the group’s official platform for accessing the retail/consumer and online markets. By the acquisition, however, Task Systems took up the mantle of driving the group’s retail/consumer and online businesses, which sits perfectly well with its own strategy for expansion and ensuring business growth. This acquisition of BRAD by Task Systems is our beginning - We are Taskdirect; a chain of retail and online digital stores, focused on making technology accessible to the growing consumer market in Nigeria and across Africa. Our mission is simple. We will delight every of our customer and give each one of them a rare customer experience that will keep them coming back. We personalize our interactions with our customers because we believe business is very personal and people patronize you, if they like you. For us at Taskdirect, it is very important that our customers like us. We understand that getting every customer to like us is not an easy goal to set but we are endowed with all the qualities necessary to deliver and continue to deliver on our promise. We have inherited from our parent company, Task Systems, decades of experience and dominance of the ICT industry. We also have retained the vibrancy of BRAD with its digital appeal and online presence. In summary, Taskdirect is a vibrant and fun company that is full of youthfulness but is led by seasoned managers with years of industry experience who love to serve and delight customers. We are very much aware that the consumer market remains the largest market globally and though Task Systems, our parent company, is traditionally an enterprise business, its leadership has never been blind to the opportunities available in the consumer space. We believe that opportunities result from a need. It is that need to give customers a “wow” experience that has given birth to Taskdirect. At Taskdirect, we realize that the only assured way to ensure our survival, is by ensuring that every customer’s encounter is unique and satisfying. We are determined to ensure that none of our customers will encounter us and remain the same. Not only do we aim at delighting them every single time, we aim to win their complete trust. This is our ethos. This is what we live for. Welcome to the future of service.
