Frequently Asked Questions
What does Capacilon mean?
Capacilon is a word formed by joining Capacity and Echelon. The word “Echelon” comes from the old French word of “Eschelon” which refers to the rungs of a ladder. In today’s world, this word is also used to describe the triangle flying formation of the flock of birds. The first bird makes it easier for the ones in the next row by allowing them to be in its wind draft. The following rows benefit even more. As time goes by, the birds swap the order and another bird takes the lead. The weaker ones stay at the back but with the group. The formation breaks and regroups several times along the way. Together, the flock goes further than any single one could. This is what the name Capacilon stands for. We focus on putting your capacity in the echelon formation so that you can go further along your vision.

How did Capacilon start?
Capacilon was founded to solve a big issue in the consulting industry, which is that projects become the focus of the suppliers. But the vision of the customer disappears into the background. We focus on the vision of our customers. And we stand for the success of our customer, not just for one specific project.

What is Capacilon's vision?
Our vision is of a B2B ecosystem where the lines between the companies in the supply chain become invisible. The project and the target are on centre-stage. The association of individuals to a company becomes irrelevant. If there is a project that everyone is committed to, then all of us win only if the project succeeds. Instead of “It’s not my job”, we look forward to a world where “I can do this task” becomes the norm.

How does Capacilon view data privacy?
According to us, data privacy is of high importance. We aim to implement data privacy by habit. We regularly provide internal coaching to our employees on the importance of data privacy and the benefits to all by having the choice of what to keep private. When we consider sharing personal information, we ask the simple question: “Is this personal information necessary for the purpose of the conversation?”. We even avoid mentioning names of our point of contacts from the customer side to our own employees, if they are not connected with that project. Instead, we refer to them by their job title.

How does Capacilon maintain customer confidentiality?
We are involved with strategically significant projects of our customers. We understand that even seemingly trivial information could provide an insight to the competitors of ur customers. For instance, just the fact that a company has started on a worldwide transformation project, could alert its competitors about a shift in global strategy. Similarly, a trivial information such as the purchase of a new software product could draw attention of the competitors to the area of improvement under focus. We take confidentiality seriously. We maintain a policy of avoiding mentioning customer names to any third-party.
