Core Values
Transparency
We operate on the belief that the client owns all of the information and processes we create on their behalf. Whether it is complex multivariate predictive models or pros and cons list for an Oracle database. We will share the information and process as we go, and we leave them with our clients when we are done.
Value
Information Technology must always support the business and add value. Every organization should be able to look to their IT side to reduce costs and increase revenue. Each IT decision should be held to the standard of: A positive, measurable ROI
Vision
As the business unit with the most experience acclimating to change IT should lead by example. Embracing new ideas, new tools, and new goals with openness and honesty.
