1. Innovate in Open Standards
- We are obsessive with openness in
software standards and architectures.
- We advise and create Scalable Service
Oriented, Loosely Coupled Architectures. Our
approach
will
allow you to change and upgrade your IT solutions to
keep up with the changing business
environment.
This approach ensures that we put your needs in
focus when we develop our
solutions.
Our goal is to ensure that you think about us the
next time you feel the need to upgrade
your
solutions.
- We are ardent admirers and students of
W3C and OMG standards.
2. Mentoring not Training
- We mentor people to innovate as opposed
to provide Just-In-Time tactical services. We don’t
want
to
bind you in long-term contracts. Instead we hope
that the quality of our work will convince you to
come
back to us.
- We are certified professionals from IBM
and Microsoft technologies and our senior Architects
have
created
the courseware and question bank for many of those
certifications while they were
working
for those companies.
3. Prepare for Change
- We recommend and follow Agile Practices
in our engagements and our professionals have the
track
record of publishing and evangelizing Agile
Practices to the IT development community.
