About our Team

Our story is simple. We are shaped by the core belief that everyone deserves to be inspired to go to work, to feel safe while there, and to go home feeling fulfilled with the work they have done. It's how life should be.

We are excellent communicators who figure out the needs of our customers, understand their problems, and vision, and help them make good decisions around what will create the most value for New Zealand. We support the entire software development lifecycle, from defining strategic objectives to implementing new processes or technology. Our customer feedback highlights our effectiveness in filling gaps, adding value, and ensuring optimal results.

This focus on continuous business improvement means we value ideas and innovation. We have an enduring commitment to helping our people become better humans and developing them professionally in Cloud technology, Business Data, Product Ownership Analysis, Agile, Leadership etc… it matters to us.

And whilst we are passionate about our people, technology, data, and our craft, being able to make a real difference in the lives of our people, and all New Zealanders is what we value the most.

We are committed to continuing to partner with iwi in order to find new sustainable solutions to address long standing systemic and cross-cutting issues facing Māori and wider Aotearoa New Zealand and we are also committed to identifying opportunities for iwi to lead and creating an enabling environment for iwi to leverage these opportunities.
