Task Systems Offers Corporate Organizations, Others Access to Technology-as-a-Service
In spite of the harsh business climate occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic and attendant lockdown which have drastically shrunk expenditure on tech-related projects for many corporate organizations, foremost ICT solutions company, Task Systems Ltd. has disclosed that businesses can still carry out major rollouts without worrying about the associated huge outlay through a revolutionary enterprise solution known as Technology-as-a-Service (TaaS).
Equally important, Technology-as-a-Service is a cutting-edge, comprehensive and flexible solution that has gained prominence the world over for its useful benefits to businesses
The solution represents one of many through which Task Systems Ltd. is repositioning businesses in the private and public sector for a post COVID-19 world marked by significant upheavals in the marketplace.
Specifically, the solution bundles hardware, software and services into a single subscription price. Furthermore, customers or businesses that subscribe to the service can scale up or down throughout the course of their subscription term – allowing them to adjust to changing business conditions.
Most importantly, it saves businesses the uncomfortable scenario of stumping up huge budgetary outlay or scarce resources for upfront payment when deploying technology infrastructure or projects.
In addition to delivering specialized services that help drive productivity and reduce costs, the solution offers technology on demand, access to the latest technology and employee experience, unburdens the subscriber’s IT unit and day-to-day management, thereby affording them the leeway to focus on more impactful projects and tasks within the organization.
This is in addition to ushering in the much-needed flexibility to scale or remove technology hardware or software according to demands.
Stanley Okpalaeke, managing director, Task Systems Ltd. insists that the solution presents a useful and cost-effective way for businesses to ramp up efficiency.
‘‘The beauty of Technology-as-a-Service lies in the fact that it is not only scalable and customizable to the exact needs of individual organizations but also in the fact that it is a sure-fire way of saving costs without sacrificing efficiency.
‘‘Today, forward-thinking businesses the world over are leaving behind the traditional model of buying and storing huge technology assets that may become redundant as the organization outgrows them. Instead, with Technology-as-a-Service, you benefit from real-time access to cutting-edge technology resources that are in line with your current needs.
‘‘Even more critical is the current reality of the difficulties in the business climate which have encumbered corporate organizations here in Nigeria and the world at large, leading to many being unable to carry out essential projects due to the huge outlay involved.
“Through this solution, subscribers can carry on business as usual without worrying about this particular pain-point.
“Indeed, the structured, flexible payment option which represents a major feature of Technology-as-a-Service means that costs for major projects can be split over a number of annual budgets, thus rendering the financial involvement negligible and freeing up scarce resources that can be channelled elsewhere,’’ he concluded.
Founded in 1987, Task Systems Ltd. commenced business in 1989 and for over 31 years, has remained in the forefront of the ICT solutions space as an industry leader, with the company responsible for the implementation of various ICT projects in the Oil & Gas, Financial, Telecoms, Manufacturing and Public sectors

In his address, Fall emphasized QNET’s dedication to ethical and legal standards, noting that the company has been operating in Nigeria for the past two years through various channels across over 25 countries.
He highlighted QNET’s unique business model, which combines direct selling with an e-commerce platform, enabling the company to serve a diverse customer base and provide entrepreneurial opportunities for financial independence.
“The global direct-selling industry is highly competitive, valued at approximately $167.7 billion in 2023 and projected to reach $204.9 billion by 2032,” Fall stated.
“These significant figures act as a catalyst for growth in Nigeria’s direct-selling market, which is expected to expand considerably, thereby supporting the country’s economic development.”
Fall also shared that several of QNET’s products, including EDG3, Prospark toothpaste, and Physioradiance face serum, have been certified by NAFDAC in Nigeria.
He reflected on last year’s product workshop in Lagos, which featured experts like Dr. Shafi Shaik and Professor Abiodun Adebayo, and set the stage for a successful product expo.
The workshop focused on the Amezcua line, including the Amezcua Chi-Pendant 4 and the Bio-Disc 3, designed to harmonize and energize the body.
Fall also discussed the Amezcua E-Guard X, which offers protection from electronic radiation.
Before concluding, Fall announced QNET’s second Product Expo in Lagos, scheduled to start on November 16th, 2024, at the Anchor Events Place in Ikeja.

Mr. Akeem Ajisafe, Managing Director of Transblue Nigeria Ltd, also spoke at the event, emphasizing the importance of the partnership in connecting Nigerians to QNET’s global network and empowering the youth.
He highlighted QNET’s “Say No” campaign launched in November 2023 to raise awareness about the dangers of fraudulent job offers used by scammers to lure victims into human trafficking in Nigeria, Senegal, and Burkina Faso.
This ongoing campaign underscores the urgent need to protect youth from falling prey to unscrupulous individuals and organizations.
Ajisafe noted that QNET has collaborated with government agencies like the Nigerian State Consumer Protection Agency on Consumer Rights Day to eradicate harmful market practices and champion fairness and accountability.
He also mentioned QNET’s participation in the Training Program for Nigerian Youth, a partnership with the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, aimed at equipping young individuals with essential skills and knowledge to safely navigate the job market.
Ajisafe highlighted QNET’s impressive efforts to implement youth empowerment initiatives in Nigeria, including the Signature of Financial Literacy Program, which has equipped over 1,350 youths with employability and entrepreneurial skills to achieve financial independence.
These initiatives reflect QNET’s commitment to debunking misconceptions about the company in Nigeria, promoting transparency, and fostering innovation among youths through education and training.
Bernhard Gaksch, QNET’s Category Manager and Global Trainer, highlighted the importance of wellness solutions in today’s tech-driven world.
“Every electronic device, from smartphones to smart TVs, emits electromagnetic fields, which research suggests may contribute to issues like headaches, fatigue, and other serious health problems,” he explained.
QNET’s response includes products inspired by nature and backed by advanced science. Among them is the Bio-Disc 3, which restores water’s natural molecular structure, improving hydration, detoxification, and immune function.
“The best water comes from a stream, but as it travels, it loses energy. The Bio-Disc revitalizes this energy,” Gaksch stated, adding that its benefits extend to plants, pets, and food.
Complementing the Bio-Light 3, which uses sequenced light technology to accelerate healing, targeting chronic inflammation, muscle pain, and migraines. Gaksch noted its effectiveness in promoting faster recovery and nerve repair.
To combat harmful EMFs, QNET introduced the Chi-Pendant 4 and Amezcua eGuard X, which protect against 5G radiation and other electronic emissions.
The Chi-Pendant preserves the body’s natural biofield, shielding users from stress and fatigue, while the eGuard X transforms harmful EMFs into beneficial frequencies, creating a safer environment. “It’s like protecting yourself from tobacco, but for the wireless age,” Gaksch remarked.
