The difference between a job and a mission. We are focused on our clients' missions and hold ourselves accountable for their operational success. We operate with independence and integrity so that we can provide unfettered advice. By understanding and appreciating their world, we earn the trust to innovate and apply leading edge technology on behalf of our clients.Working at the Interface. With IT systems, as in mining, the greatest value is in the seams. We understand that problems are solved at the interfaces between technical, business and operational factors. We work at those interfaces to create technology-based solutions that are practical, economically feasible and operationally effective.A culture of collaboration. The value of experience is magnified when it is shared. We share our ideas, findings, and techniques with our clients and the larger community on a regular basis so that solutions are sustainable beyond our role on the project.
