 Our company

Our business has seen significant growth over the last 10 years and the amount of data we generate has been growing even harder. Furthermore the business environment we operate in is constantly changing at fast pace, meaning we need to adapt as well!

To deal with all this, we have several development teams taking on an ever growing product backlog, a top-notch sysadmin team handling our expanding needs of really-fast processing and storage of our millions of daily transactions, and a hungry marketing team chasing up more business and churning out requirements on our IT team.

With all these continuous changes, sometimes things don’t go as planned, and our Operations team will, in close cooperation with all stakeholders, sort it out!
