History

[edit]

Yorktel was established in 1985, initially focusing on video conferencing solutions. Over the years, the company expanded to include cloud-based solutions, and advanced video communication technologies.[3] Yorktel has undergone several strategic acquisitions to enhance its capabilities, including the acquisition of Video Corporation of America (VCA) in 2020.[4]

Expansion

[edit]

In 2019, Yorktel spun off its healthcare division to form a new company called Caregility.[5] It was established to deliver end-to-end virtual care and communication solutions, while Yorktel provided its core video communication services.[6][7] It has also acquired the Microsoft Solutions practice.[8]

Partnerships

[edit]

In February 2021, Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR) announced a partnership renewal with Yorktel and Caregility. Both companies, owned by YTC Holdings, joined CGR for the 2020 NASCAR Playoffs as an associate partner on the No. 1 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE, driven by Kurt Busch.[9] The renewed partnership included sponsorship of the No. 42 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE, driven by Ross Chastain, along with associate branding on both cars. During the 2020 NASCAR Playoffs, Yorktel and Caregility used the partnership to recognize frontline caregivers through the “Caregility Cares” initiative, where the name of a selected caregiver was displayed on Busch's car.[10]
