Q: What are some of the main tenets (vision, mission, values) of πby3?
A: Our mission is to become THE partner for clients in their cloud transformation journey. At πby3, we believe that:
• Not just clients embarking on cloud journeys but also mature clients with high-level
cloud implementations (AWS/Azure/Google) need to achieve business imperatives at
the right cost and be future-ready with the right architecture.
• Data—terabytes and petabytes of it—can leverage the cloud effectively. We guide
clients to gain a competitive edge using Snowflake and other Data-on-Cloud solutions.
Integrity, Respect for Individuals, and Ownership of work are our core values that should reflect in everything we do. πby3 also believes in fostering a diverse workforce.
