Values and Principles

Eliminate redundant work: by automating detailed design and coding activities.

Reuse successful solutions: by leveraging frameworks, architectural models and proven patterns.

Create a stable foundation: in a world where everything can change it makes little sense to base a systems key design on inherently unstable conceptual foundations as it will undermine the solutions operational life expectancy and value.

Partner with our customers: blend and extend resources in optimal ways to get the best people.

Dispel myths: the buy vs build debate is heavily abused within the IT industry. Purchasing decisions are predicated on flawed logic that leads organisations down an expensive and time consuming path of purchasing, customising and integrating incompatible technologies.

Leverage Technology: dramatic advances in model driven development and delivery techniques now make it considerably easier for organisations to build solutions that better meet their needs.
