Callide IT Consulting Services

IT is more than technology; it’s about people. At Callide, we provide the best of both—the best people, with the best technological skills and backgrounds. Forget everything you thought you knew about IT consulting: the high costs, the complicated deals, the hassle. Forget all of it.

We are Callide.

Our Mission

Imagine your IT organization as a ship with adventurers exploring new worlds. Ask yourself – what happens when every sailor asks the captain before each and every decision? The boat will run aground very quickly.

IT is changing, rapidly. The paradox of that is that while the change never has been as quick as it is right now – it’s never again gonna be as slow.

Who am I?

Callide was founded and is operated by Oskar Almqvist. Oskar is a loving boyfriend and a devoted son, brother, uncle and friend. Animal advocate, volunteer worker and a human being.

In the IT world, Oskar was once a passionate developer and is now working as a software testing expert with 5+ years of experience. Certified by ISTQB, ITIL Certified, Scrum Master with knowledge of SAfe and other agile methods and with a fiery passion for test automation, IoT, AI, agile, leadership and digital transformation.

My experience as developer combined with my pedagogical background and love for teaching gives me an unique opportunity to be the bridge between IT and business.

Where are you?

Callide is based in Skövde, Skaraborg with many clients in Gothenburg and Stockholm – but our work extends across the globe. We understand the importance of meeting in person, face to face, and will make the time to do so whenever either you or we feel it’s appropriate. Unlike other IT consultancy companies, we’re not hidden away in some basement where you never see us.

You will see us, meet us, and we will be there 🙂

We are Callide.

You Welcome Us, We Welcome You.

Pizza nights with Callide? Workshops or lunches where you can learn from industry experts. We’re committed to not only advancing your technology but also enhancing your social experience. We strive to be an integral part of your team and invite you to become part of ours.

Our mission is straightforward: to elevate you technologically, socially, and culturally. We are dedicated to fostering a company culture built on trust, joy, and the belief that anything is possible. Our goal is to continuously develop and support not just our own consultants but also your employees, partners, and stakeholders, whenever you need us.

Let’s grow together, creating a thriving environment where everyone can succeed.

Let’s get one thing straight. We care.

The people behind Callide is the same people behind ITMAD.

IT Makes a Difference

itmakesadifference.info

At ITMAD we’re pioneering a collaborative ecosystem where STEM field experts can dedicate their talents to empower projects for those in need. Our unique approach is founded on the principle of ‘micro tasks’ – enabling contributors to offer anything from a minute, an hour, or even a month of their time. This flexible engagement model allows, for instance, ten developers to each tackle distinct, manageable tasks, cumulatively achieving substantial outcomes. Our mission is to demonstrate how small contributions from each individual can lead to the realization of grand projects, making a significant impact one step at a time.

RANGMAR

Our first big project RANGMAR addresses the critical challenge of efficiently distributing essential resources—such as water, food, and medicines—to those in need. By offering a unified platform, RANGMAR enables aid workers to collaboratively organize, tag, and reallocate supplies, maximizing the impact of their efforts to support as many affected individuals as possible.

What about the money?

Are you paying outrageous amounts of money right now to various IT consultants, only to get very little done? Welcome to the world of IT, where charging 1100/1400 SEK per hour for subpar performance is considered “normal.”

Forget it.

At Callide, we do things differently. We discuss our compensation with you and always strive to reach an agreement where both parties are happy. Our philosophy is simple – we bill you for the value we bring to your organization.

We believe that by optimizing your business and providing you with the best possible opportunities, you will be inclined to recommend us to others. This in turn will enhance our business.

They call it Win-Win. We call it common sense.
