A Quarter-Century of Innovation: A Journey Through the IT Industry

The journey began over 30 years ago, spanning from early beginnings with First Global Tech (1993-1996) to the founding of PNT Global on June 6, 2000. Today, the journey continues with an unwavering passion for mentoring the youth and staying at the forefront of technological advancements.

So much has changed. It's hard to explain how things were back then, when the internet was a luxury few had access to. Often, we would sit in internet cafés, presenting websites to clients because they didn’t have internet at their offices. Convincing businesses of the value of domain names was a challenge. The concept was still new, and many struggled to understand why they needed one.

But technology kept moving, and so did we. From simple HTML websites to complex .NET programming, we evolved alongside the digital world. The rise of e-commerce came a few years after PNT Global was established. We began building online stores with platforms like OSCommerce, later moving on to Magento, and now embracing modern tools like WooCommerce and Shopify that have made the process far more efficient.

In the early days, our favourite search engine was Webcrawler. SEO was still in its infancy, and Google was a distant competitor to Yahoo. Back then, SEO wasn’t the intricate art it is today—adding a few keywords was enough to get noticed.

We’ve always thrived on the excitement of new technologies, whether it was P2P networks, mobile app development, or game development. Two decades ago, it was hard to find skilled professionals in these emerging fields, but we embraced the challenge and grew.

Having witnessed and adapted to countless waves of technological change, we understand how crucial it is to stay ahead. The pace of innovation is relentless, and businesses that don’t evolve risk being left behind in an ever-competitive market.

Our team of experienced professionals is ready to meet your IT needs, no matter the challenge. Let’s connect and explore the future together.
