The Sandhata team recently participated in an event organised by our partner charity, Manavata, to raise awareness of, and celebrate, the bicycle.

 

The event, held in Hyderabad, India, encouraged people to experience the world from the seat of their bicycle and share their cycling stories. On World Environment Day, this event also shone a spotlight on the vital importance of the bicycle in reducing our environmental impact.

What have we been up to?

 

2022 is well underway! I thought now was a good time to take a look back over the first 100 days of 2022 and recap on what’s been going on at Sandhata.

 

New Technical Frontiers

In April 2022, we launched our new API Platform. This is a really exciting milestone for us as we are now able to support our clients better by providing them with API services or a fully hosted API Platform.

 

January saw us sign a service agreement to provide employee services for Oracle across the Oracle stack.

 

We were very proud to achieve the milestone of over 100 consultants working at a single client. This is testament to our team’s excellence across many different technologies, and our client’s trust in us.

Our culture…our secret sauce

 

At Sandhata we have always had a strong corporate culture. From our strong team spirit to our support of Manavata, our core values are felt in everything we do.

Why is feedback fantastic?

So, you have a crack team delivering sterling work, who are highly skilled and hard working. But this team are not as productive as is hoped, and they frequently face production/service issues which take a lot of time to resolve. What gives?

Without regular feedback, projects can go off course, the wrong features can be built, and sometimes the wrong issue can be “fixed”!
