**About Us**

The world is changing rapidly, and our customers are inventing new ways to meet that change confidently - with our help. We transform engineering and technical workflows with solutions that provide the right data at the right time. Our unparalleled combination of expansive technical knowledge and AI-based technology helps leaders build the right connections across their teams and workflows, so they can focus on designing for a world that runs faster, cleaner, safer, and smarter for everyone.

Important business drivers for the software we create include reliability, scalability, elasticity, evolvability, and maintainability. These drivers have motivated both the use of principles from domain-driven design for decoupling, and the use of microservices with containerized cloud-based deployments as an important software architecture. DevOps is integral to microservices architecture, enabling high quality software to be developed and delivered quickly. We are committed to the DevOps model, where time-to-market functions as a vital measure of our performance, productivity, and success. We improve and innovate constantly, always investigating new technologies that can enhance our product offerings.
