We have a relentless focus on achieving our clients’ objectives, by approaching challenges at their natural abstraction level.

Client Objectives

Ensure that all efforts are guided towards achieving the objectives of our clients.

We strive to keep a strict focus on objectives. We redeploy resources from excessive programming efforts that make little practical difference, into analysis, testing and integration.

  • Relentlessly pursue a deep understanding of all client objectives.
  • Frequent checkpoint discussions with stakeholders.
  • Avoid re-engineering when adaptation and customization suffice.
  • Alignment of incentives for final deliverables.

Abstraction

Use the highest quality tools available for each task at the correct level of abstraction.

While too great abstraction can lead to a lack of expressiveness and too standardized; too little abstraction leads to too much time being consumed by irrelevant detail or verbosity. The right level of abstraction leads to a good match between the thinking that must be done and the resulting code.

  • Highest-level appropriate tools.
  • Specialized programming languages.
  • Devolve performance optimization to low-level libraries.
  • Align thinking and programming.

Open Source

Favour widely used and supported, tested and open-sourced core components to allow greater focus on project-specific value.

  • Build on proven blocks without licensing restrictions.
  • Avoid cost leakage and dependency creation of proprietary solutions.

Continuous Testing & Documentation

Make robustness and understandability a standard objective in the programming process.

  • Continuous integration (automated).
  • In-line and dedicated documentation.
