OUR VALUES
THE POWER TO STRENGTHEN BUSINESS:
A PASSION FOR CARING
The Software Consortium Way is a broad set of values and practices that have become an indispensable guide in conducting our business. It includes specific client offerings, such as our Partner to Win process, our Best Practices, and our promise to deliver Just the Right Technology, People, and Processes. But it also extends beyond these structured offerings into everything we do. The following are just a few of the many values we work to cultivate.
EXPERTISE THAT DELIVERS
At Software Consortium, we deeply value the vast technical knowledge of our consultants and support each one in updating and expanding this expertise. But from the start, we have also cultivated knowledge of specific markets, and have recruited multiple in-house experts or partners for each market we serve. Our ability to leverage both technical and market expertise enables us to consistently deliver on our promises and build trust on every project.
CUSTOMER INTIMACY THAT RETURNS YOUR INVESTMENT
Our first step in every project is to become intimate with your business and technology. Our Partner to Win process is a structured, reliable way to do this. We study practices, work flow, organizational dynamics, business goals, risks, and opportunities. We find out what's important. Speed to market? Lower costs? Increased revenues? Once the solution is agreed on, we bring together just the right resource team and equip them with all the knowledge we've learned. The result of this process is high impact, high value, and high return on investment.
SERVICES THAT MATCH YOUR NEEDS
While our technical expertise is exceptional, our ability to match a solution to the precise needs of your business is even better. Just the Right Technology, People, and Processes is a key value designed to ensure that we don't offer technology for its own sake. Sometimes simple is better. We deeply appreciate that many clients cannot support a tech-heavy approach because it might be too complex or too costly. So we often recommend a simple solution that works with the client's existing system.
STAFFING FOR YOUR SUCCESS
One of our main goals in hiring is to ensure the continuation of the Software Consortium Way. We look for bright, experienced people with all the right credentials. But just as importantly, we single out people with integrity, dedication to excellence, and ability to work in a team context. To support our teams, we put the best team leaders in place and create an ongoing learning culture to ensure that our consultants can offer innovative solutions.
INTEGRATING OUR TEAM INTO YOURS
Software Consortium is built on the concept of teamwork. It starts with our hiring philosophy. We simply don't hire people who don't want to work as part of an effective, dynamic team—no matter how good they might be technically. When we start a project, we seamlessly integrate our team into yours—including partners, stakeholders, vendors, and anyone else involved. And we apply a structured set of Team-Building Best Practices—a set of tools designed to establish strong teaming and leadership and ensure we all work together as co-producers.
CREATING A WORKPLACE DESIGNED FOR TEAM BUILDING
Working at Software Consortium, Inc. is a two-way partnership. Our employees contribute the expertise. We treat them like the valued resources and associates they are. We don't tolerate office politics. We value different personality types. We encourage humor and a rich cultural life. We address interpersonal relationships with sensitivity and a positive spirit. And we work to remove walls between groups and individuals by supporting open, honest communication.
