At DeARX we believe that in order to assist our customers to select and implement awesome technology that not only delivers the desired results, but that aligns to the organisation’s culture and capabilities, it is necessary to:
Have an in-depth understanding of the technologies and their capabilities and limitations, their best uses and how to integrate them. This in-depth knowledge not only underpins delivery of results but enables the organisation to push the boundaries to gain competitive advantage and/or significantly improve throughput and quality;
Use the practices, techniques and methodologies that better fit the situation at hand. This know-how is essential for sustainable and reliable success
Be pragmatic rather than dogmatic when choosing technologies, tools and techniques and methods. While we will always endeavor to use the best fit options to deliver the desired results it is also important that these choices are made with due consideration to the organisations preferences, capabilities and limitations.
Live Craftsmanship. At the end of the day we want to be proud of what was achieved and of how it was achieved.
