Over a fifteen year period, a close group of technologists and executives successfully developed dozens of software products for their clients. Clients ranged from some of the largest independent software vendors to the smallest technology startups. During this time a number of patterns emerged and it become clear what it took to be successful with technology initiatives. As a result, we developed our own language and processes to accompany our technology expertise. We became very focused on leveraging metrics and past performance as a way to better predict future performance. We found that we were about 25% more accurate at estimating when we based future estimates on past performance. Our engineers also appreciated this as they were out of the business of specifying hours and dates. As agile methods grew in popularity we realized that many of our processes mapped well to Scrum and Kanban. Increasingly our clients were telling us that world-class technology expertise was not enough and that it was the processes, passion, predictability, and our ability to form deep partnerships that set us apart. We will continue to develop the "Intent Way" as a way to improve not only our technical expertise but our language, processes, tools, and metrics in the spirit of reducing risk and improving time to market for our clients.
Evolving our core partnerships with Amazon, Microsoft, and Google will be a key focus for us going forward
Evolving our core solution capabilities around digital media services, robotics, AI, natural language processing, and analytics will allow us to expand our client base in these areas ultimately allowing us to focus on solving some of the most complex computing problems in the world. Finally, we are sensitive to the fact that we are only as good as our team members. Therefore we will continue to target the brightest talent and add them to dedicated teams where we will balance process and flexibility to meet the constantly changing needs of our clients. The Purpose, Process, Partnership, and Predictability that we bring to our client products will set us apart and will allow our clients to bring quality products to market with reduced risk and improved time to market.
