What IT Sky Solutions does

IT Sky Solutions Limited is a Nigerian-headquartered, founder-led information and communications technology company founded in 2008 that builds and operates its own branded communications platform — the Kirani family — alongside vertical-specific solutions in healthcare and messaging. The Kirani Suite is a cloud-hosted VoIP and IP-PBX platform with IVR, video conferencing, real-time monitoring and skills-based routing, built on Asterisk open-source telephony; Kirani Contact Centre extends this with workforce management, multi-channel support and CRM integration; and Kirani Talk is a consumer-grade mobile VoIP app distributed via the Apple App Store and Google Play Store with virtual numbers and in-app top-up. Adjacent products include Sky SMS & USSD Solutions (two-way/bulk/transactional SMS plus dedicated and shared USSD codes), IT Sky EHR (cloud-based electronic health records with clinical decision support and population health management), Global Voice Carriers (wholesale international voice termination with direct routes to MTN, Airtel, Glo and 9mobile), and SIP Trunking/DID virtual numbers. Gizo Broadband and Drone Services are listed as forthcoming.

The company makes money through a mix of recurring subscriptions on Kirani Suite, Contact Centre, Talk and EHR, usage-based billing on SMS/USSD and voice termination, and project-based professional services for implementation, training and support. Enterprise pricing is opaque ('Contact Sales'); only Kirani Talk publishes a free-download, pay-as-you-go model. Distribution is hybrid: a consultative enterprise sales motion for large deployments and government procurement, plus self-serve app-store distribution for the consumer VoIP app. Customers are concentrated in Nigerian government, healthcare and telecommunications — including the National Health Insurance Authority, NIGCOMSAT, NITDA, Kaduna State Contributory Health Management Authority, Venus Medicare and other HMOs, plus telecom operators as wholesale partners — supported by NCC, NDPB and NITDA regulatory licenses and an office in London for international reach.

• Africa's Talking: Africa-focused communications-as-a-service provider offering SMS, USSD, voice, and payment APIs across multiple African markets. Directly comparable to IT Sky's Sky SMS & USSD Solutions and Global Voice Carriers offerings, and competes for the same telecom-operator and enterprise developer customers in Nigeria.
