On February 19th, 2013, the first line of Dataedo code was written, marking the start of our journey as a product and later as a company. Since then, we have come a long way, growing into a company with over 1,000 customers, a 40-person team, and a trusted product. One of our clients once wrote: "*This software has everything that was promised to me and even more*" which perfectly captures our approach and philosophy. Despite our achievements, there are still plenty of uncharted waters to explore and conquer.

Deliver Continuously in Short Sprints to Minimize Time-to-Value. Move Fast, Think Out of the Box and don’t be afraid to Break Things and Learn Quick. Break Silos, Challenge Status Quo and Hack your way to Accelerated Growth. Shift Paradigms, Think Big Picture and Moonshots, but be Agile and Lean, and deliver Increments Fast in a Holistic Approach. Remember to Pivot often and Change the Rules of the Game. Focus on Key Stakeholder Pain Points, and Grab Low Ganging Fruits for Quick Wins. Take Ownership to Drive Change. Strive to be a Thought Leader and bring Disruptive Actionable Opinions to the Table. Crowdsource and Explore New Ideas, Democratize Change and Leverage Synergies of your Ecosystems. Build an Open, Customer-Centric, Innovative, and Data-Driven Culture. Connect The Dots for Actionable Insights. Don’t be afraid to Adopt Early Cutting Edge State-of-the-Art Immersive Technologies for Game-Changing User Experiences. But remember about Socially Responsible and Sustainable Growth and Minimizing your Footprint. Be Open and Inclusive. And make sure Everyone has a Seat at the Table for Diversity of Though and Fair Representation. World is Shifting Tectonic Plates Under Our Feet. It’s going into a New Era, full of New Challenges and Opportunities. We all need to Adapt. It is a Hyperconnected Global Village with Endless Possibilities. A Greenfield in a Blue Ocean.
