Throughout history, every business has always faced the problem: Can we trust our counterparts and contractors? How proficient are they in their field? Will they deliver orders on time, to a high standard, and within budget constraints? And, crucially, can this be achieved without any unpleasant consequences, particularly in terms of safety?
The importance of trust in business relationships
Business practice has given rise to various solutions to this problem, and one of the most widespread has become the practice of certification. This means that both a particular specialist (an independent expert or an in-house employee) and the company itself can obtain a certificate confirming their professionalism, competencies and ability to perform tasks at a certain level.
More commonly, such certifications are issued by professional communities in various fields, industry-specific business associations, educational centers, government agencies, and so on. However, the modern IT industry has introduced another type of certification—where certificates are issued by developers of large online services or software platforms. Typically, many smaller IT companies start developing their solutions on these platforms. They are more flexible, work directly with end users, understand their pain points and needs, and essentially provide a huge consumer base for the ‘big’ platforms.
Diversity of сertification sources
In response, the developers of such platforms and services (such as Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Oracle, SAP, and others) have begun to evaluate the professional expertise of individuals working with their products. They not only assess, but also offer training, consultancy, additional development tools, and more. And all this in a complex indicates that if a specialist holds a certificate from a large IT corporation, it means that one really understands specific products and services and can work effectively with end users.
1. The landscape of business automation has also evolved significantly in recent years. In this area, there is a whole group of vendors – large regional and international companies – that create and promote their comprehensive platforms capable of solving any task. These include companies like Microsoft, M-Files, OpenText, Terrasoft, Inbase, Almexoft – the corporations that LITIKO collaborates with. The main focus here is on cooperation in sectors such as ERP systems, CRM systems, and electronic document management systems (ECM systems), BPM systems.

Key advantages of certified professionals
Certifying individual experts is crucial for companies to attain a certain status overall. For example, LITIKO operates as a “reseller” for M-Files. What does this actually mean?
The vendor grants LITIKO access to its solutions portal in developer mode for business automation.
Our project implementation department, which works directly with the customer, takes full responsibility for work standards. Therefore, the vendor, the creator of the business automation solution, has a vested interest in ensuring that the specialists in companies such as LITIKO operate proficiently and uphold the quality standards envisioned by the developer of the product.
Therefore, LITIKO will not only act as a distributor or provide licenses for ready-made solutions and their implementation, but will also have the ability to develop its own unique solutions for its clients. This is a fundamental competitive advantage, , especially in today’s Ukrainian market, which is undergoing complex transformations. These include remote working, which requires even more communication with each employee, and a rejection of Russian-origin business automation solutions.
