Uptime

Guided by four working principles.

01

Self-action

If we encounter a challenge, we don’t simply hand it off to someone who may possess more knowledge than us — we strive to grow our own skill sets so we can catch our own fish.

02

Safe-to-fail

We have a fail-friendly environment — where failure is not just accepted, it’s encouraged — because experimentation is a requisite for innovation. We don’t hide our mistakes; we acknowledge them as an important part of the learning and growth process — always failing forward.

03

Balance predictability and innovation

We give clients estimated time frames for product updates and releases that they can count on, but we do not let deadlines prevent more innovative ideas and solutions from surfacing. At the same time, we do not get lost in innovating to the point that clients cannot rely on our timeframes. We balance predictability with innovation in order to be dependable in output — and quality.

04

Embrace change

We recognise that our success lies in our courage and willingness to grow, adapt, try new things, and change. We welcome every opportunity to evolve for the better.

In endless pursuit of excellence.

We want to be our best, knowing full well that our best is an endless pursuit underpinned by lifelong learning.
