What does your team evaluate when looking at new business opportunities or new areas of investment?

Our consistent focus on serving early-stage and high-growth technology companies provide us a constant flow of fresh and innovative ideas from our client work.

How does your company leadership grow, enhance or support the industry in which it serves?

The pace of innovation in the technology industry is so rapid that continuous learning is the only way up. For last several years we’ve been running monthly webinars, and also host in-person events in Texas area to share our learnings in Agile software development.

North Texas is home to some of the most cutting-edge and innovative companies in the country. What can this be attributed to?

A business-friendly climate in North Texas, an international airport in DFW, a very reasonable cost of living, and over time, some of their employees create new ventures, and the cycle repeats.

How does the region’s access to resources, such as higher education and/or access to capital, impact your ability to compete?

Access to talent and capital is critical for us and our clients to thrive in this treadmill of the technology industry; therefore, North Texas is a great choice on these grounds.

What type of opportunities exist for innovative thinkers looking to join your company or industry?

Disruption is happening at an incredible pace. Need for innovative ideas is constant.

How is technology impacting the needs of your business or those of your clients?

The pace at which technology is changing, our clients and we have to rearm and reinvent constantly. Growing our customer base requires us to be aware of trends and user expectations.

How will the DFW region compete nationally for top talent in the marketplace over the next three years?

Diversity, lower cost of living, great culture and fresh investments will draw top talent and spur the growth in the next three to five years.
