Our Values
A set of rules, guidelines and principles that influence everything we do
People First
“It’s not rocket science – a happy team is a productive team. We take that a step further – we actively aim to be the best company to work for in our sector. Our team comes before everything else – that means our customers get the best possible value and experience.”
Work With, not For
“We work with our customers as a part of their team – it makes projects more fun and more effective (read successful). We need our customers to sign up to that or maybe we should just be friends (see previous value).
The same applies to our team – we don’t have an open door policy, we have a no door policy. The team is involved in every key decision – they came up with these values with us (not for us).”
Share and be Transparent
“Knowledge is power… or so they say.At Adatis, knowledge is a hot potato – if you hold on to it yourself for too long you’ll get burned.We take that potato, cover it with bacon and cheese and share it out amongst the whole team – delicious! Our Build days, Hackathons and brown bag lunches are an essential part of life at Adatis.
And we don’t just share knowledge, our team has access to any information they want to see (that we can legally share) from minutes of the board meeting to last year’s accounts.”
Listen and Challenge
“Whilst No is OK, Yes people definitely aren’t welcome here. We love learning about our customers’ business and the problems they face. But after listening, we usually ask why it’s done that way. And if the answer is “because we always have”, we’ll ask again.
And we expect our team to do the same of each other.”
Build with Heart and Balance
“We admit it, we’re geeks! We love what we do and we especially love data. What we love most of all is delivering solutions that make a difference. We once had an executive board whooping and hollering when we presented our solution – that’s now set the bar for every project!
At the same time, we recognise and respect that work is only one part of our lives; waking up fresher is much more efficient than working late and taking time off to recharge before our batteries run out is the norm here.”
Space to Innovate
“bleeding edge: (noun).
1. the most advanced stage of a technology, art, etc., usually experimental and risky.
Everyone at Adatis (not just the geeks) gets time to spend on R&D. This means that our customers get the benefit of the latest technology and our team get to do lots of the innovative stuff they love – everyone’s a winner!”
Simplify
Give Something Back
“From saying thank you to each other at the end of the day, to presenting at local user groups, to blogging, to helping run one of the biggest SQL conferences in the world, to raising money for charities close to our hearts, we’re always looking for the best Adatis way to give something back.
Our team know that they’ll get back what they put in – “be the change you seek” as Sir Ben Kingsley once said.”
