Our Values 

Customer focused

Without our clients we would be nothing, so the focus of all our hard work must be to obtain the best result for the customer. Unless our customers are pleased at the results we achieve, the job is not done. This is important for our own growth: just as a good restaurant relies on happy diners to spread the good word about the exquisite supper they were served by the most charming waiters, so too does a successful business require clients impressed by the service, process and results. We know that businesspeople chat to their business friends over exquisite lunches, and we want all of the talk about Accelerate4 to be positive.

Free our adaptive IT people

Our developers are expected to deliver exceptional methods of improving client performance. They need the ability to focus all of their attention on creating solutions for our clients, rather than worrying about internal politics. So we don’t have a rigid corporate structure, and we don’t bother them with strict rules. All of our developers work in small teams and are encouraged to think about the whole of the clients needs, and be free to speak up when they have a better idea than their project leader.

Protecting our future

We want to help to tackle climate change, so our commitment to flexible working is about more than just our staff happiness and productivity. Accelerate4 employees need to commute less often and meetings are held using the internet or telephone where possible. By doing this, car journeys are cut and paper is saved. We hope that by doing our bit we can help to cut the greenhouse gas emissions, carbon footprint and environmental impact of our business operations in a way that also improves the operation of our company.

Create adaptive and re-usable technology

The solutions that we provide should be adaptable and scaleable. If something works for one team, could it be made to work for the whole department? We don’t like making extra work for ourselves or wasting our clients’ money. As our people create and support forward-thinking architectures, they can often be tweaked to provide improved performance in other business areas. Similarly, if a non-differentiating program written for one client can be re-used to help another, both clients can benefit: the first company gets a financial reward and the latter company gets a faster result. And we hate wastage, so we’re happy too!

Constructive impatience

We don’t believe in complaining about a situation, we do something about it. There is no point in pining over the past, but it is also wasteful to plan just for the sake of it. At Accelerate4 we are impatient to get underway, and will do so as soon as we have formulated a proactive strategy to achieve the best result. After all, it is important to get things done right as well as quickly!

Continuous improvement

The world moves fast these days, and so must we. We will always keep up to date with the very latest technologies and processes, and we will always strive to be better. Our people are also expected to constantly improve their knowledge, so we’re happy when they need to spend work time sharpening their skills and reading about the latest technical tools.

Hire by committee

The Accelerate4 ethos requires our staff to get on well, and have every confidence in their team’s abilities. Knowing that you have the confidence of your colleagues, rather than just the approval of a manager, creates a positive and constructive environment that makes our people happier and our results better.
