products Core Values

We become the stories we tell ourselves. At our onset we started weaving a couple of remarkable stories about what we stood for. Now, these stories form an integral part of who we are. Indeed, we do become the stories we tell ourselves.

Childish

Of all the things that we bring to the table one of the most important one is our childlike audacity to ask simple questions that will challenge every conventional thought you may have had about how software is written, how projects are run or how software shops around the globe thrive. Just because it's the status quo doesn't mean we won't question it.


Monkish

Don't you find monks with their uncomplicated smiles and their even more uncomplicated lives fascinating? Monkish existence is a way of life where you seek Zen like simplicity in everything that is complex; you aren't scared of letting go and aren't even afraid of failing and starting over; with a smile on your face.


Impractical

It isn't practical for developers to be remote desktop’ing into development servers from their cell phones while they are picking up their favorite cereal at a supermarket on a Sunday afternoon.

It isn't practical for development teams to help a client before they've bought a license for one of our components.

It isn’t practical to take calls from customers on technical problems other than the specific product that they have paid for.

Unfortunately, there are way too many organizations that are way too practical. Fortunately, we don't like practical.

Even more fortunately, our customers love it when we wow them with what we like to call… “A little bit of impractical”.



Unashmed

As much as we enjoy sharing our success stories and our successful client list, we are equally vocal about our mess-ups. We're intentionally small and are fairly unashamed about that. We don't spend millions (or even hundreds) on unnecessary infrastructure and we’re unashamed about that too. We've been operational and profitable for multiple years and we're a pretty shameless thick skinned bunch of artistic survivors who believe that it is art drawn in bold colors and confident brushstrokes that eventually grabs your attention.


No Jerks

At ThousandtyOne we take 'being nice' pretty seriously. We've seen that innovative minds when given an environment to be productive will seek happiness in productivity. Yelling doesn't equate to motivation. In fact, Sarcasm, personal attacks, fake deadlines, policing and high decibel intimidation tops our list of unacceptable behavior for both, the development teams and clients.
