About Us

Our Vision:
A world where enterprise information is widely understood and easily accessed by all who have permission.

Our Mission:
To lead as many firms as possible on their journey to a data-centric future.

OUR VALUES

CREATE VALUE

All our projects should be creating value for our clients. We are not trying to set up situations where our clients pay us because we have coerced them or made them dependent on us.

ONE VOICE

We can disagree violently in the office, but we will present our best consensus when we are with the client.

SHARE EQUITABLY

We focus on ways to share the results of our efforts with our clients, our partners and our employees. Equitable sharing is based on contribution.

LIFETIME LEARNING

We value continual study and research to look for better ways, and to stay current in our discipline, rather than milking whatever expertise we have.

SHOW RESPECT

While focusing on results we need to remain mindful of the contribution, options and rights of others. In all our dealings we need to be humble.

HAVE FUN

We are not here to suffer for the sake of the firm. We can accomplish all we set out to, stay true to our values and still have a good time, and take time off to enjoy our outside lives.

THE SECRET SAUCE

For more than 20 years we have focused singularly on uncovering the meaning that is often hidden in the complexity and opacity of traditional information systems. We have assembled what might be the largest team in the world of professionals focused solely on this, and have built methodology, tools and quality assurance processes to make sure we continue to deliver the highest possible quality and outcomes.

SOME IMPORTANT THINGS WE BELIEVE, THOUGH NOT MANY MIGHT:

  • That all enterprise information systems domains can be expressed and modeled with a few hundred concepts, without loss of fidelity

  • That an enterprise ontology can be built that unites all the domains in the enterprise and ultimately eliminates systems integration

  • That most traditional application development is unnecessary and can be replaced with model driven development
