Zubair Aleem Managing Director

 

Even from a young age Zubair loved making things better. Over the years he has honed his skills in all aspects of IT and also learned that "Things" must have a Purpose.

Our Values

 

The focused mind can pierce through stone - Japanese maxim

 

Our values are central to our business, to our lives and the manner in which we do all things.  When we follow our values and live true to them our goals become reality.

 

Communication

 

Communication is central to everything we do.  We take as much care in how we communicate as what we are communicating.  We understand that people prefer different types of communication and we always adapt our communication style to best serve the target audience.  Being straight forward, keeping things simple and making sure our message is not misunderstood are the factors that drive all of our internal and external communication.

 

Think like a wise man but communicate in the language of the people - William Butler Yeats

 

Teamwork

 

We employ people who like to work together as a team and who have a collaborative approach. When working with clients we see ourselves as an extension of their own internal team working together to achieve their business goals through the application of IT.

 

If you could get all the people in the organisation rowing in the same direction, you could dominate any industry, in any market, against any competition, at any time - Pat Lencioni

 

Innovation

 

We are innovative with the products we create, the work we do and with ourselves.  We are constantly seeking to improve all things we do and to create more value in every task.

 

An innovation is one of those things that society looks at and says, if we make this part of the way we live and work, it will add value to the way we live and work - Gartner

 

Open Mindedness

 

We employ people who are both open minded and open in their communication. When we are open minded we do not put up barriers to new ideas and perceptions. Being open minded allows us to develop trusted relationships with our clients and enables us to deliver innovative solutions.

 

If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things – Rene Descartes

 

Responsibility

 

Being responsible for our actions, our work and ourselves is what sets us apart.  Our emotions, our thoughts and the things we do can be no others but our own.  When we grasp this concept we can achieve any goal.

 

We have not passed that subtle line between childhood and adulthood until... we have stopped saying "It got lost," and say "I lost it” – Sidney J Harris

 

Passion

 

Passion is the burning desire to continue and succeed, to serve our customers and to add value.  Passion pushes us to be the best and gives us enjoyment and satisfaction.

 

Passion is the genesis of genius – Tony Robbins

 

Integrity

 

Integrity, is only being honest with yourself, or the ability to face reality and not your perception of it. Our clients know that they can rely on us to follow through on our promises even when inconvenient.

 

If you don't have integrity, you have nothing. You can't buy it. You can have all the money in the world, but if you are not a moral and ethical person, you really have nothing – Henry Kravis
