Excluding the meteoric rise of Google (just turned 10!), Microsoft has to be the greatest software organisation on the planet to date. Early and clear vision, utter market dominance, speed of development, and tenacious competitiveness points to extremely high capability and a very unusual agility in such a large and complex company. Great people, strong leadership. Enough said really. From Nathan Myhrvold, former Chief Scientist, Microsoft “The top software developers are more productive than average software developers not by a factor of 10X or 100X, or even 1,000X, but 10,000X.” Exaggeration? Perhaps. But there is no doubt that the spectrum between average, good and great technology people is significant. Getting the mix right for any project teams is a ’success factor’. Big time. Cue our ClearPoint value of ‘Talent Trumps Low Cost Everytime’. It may sound altruistic. The fact is that many kiwi firms can’t afford and/or don’t require the talent fulltime. ClearPoint exists to create an environment that energetic, talented people want to be part of, our clients want to work with, and together we are inspired to create and deliver great work. Why? Because there are endless ways technology and innovation and transfrom and add value to NZ businesses – and successful NZ companies are great for all of us!
