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.

The network will provide a community for women to gather, socialise, make connections and grow in confidence.

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.

Since COVID, culture has become even more critical in ensuring a your workforce is cohesive and able to deliver high quality work for clients. Since work from home has taken off, work life now commonly invades personal life, so creating a positive work culture is vital for employee wellbeing as well.

We at Sandhata take lot of pride in creating a positive work culture. We promote openness, work-life balance and multicultural integration. These qualities make us a vibrant family.

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?

Quite possibly, the team is delivering the wrong stuff (which does not improve the customer experience), or fire fighting issues blind because they don’t have the right information at the right time. Without regular feedback, projects can go off course, the wrong features can be built, and sometimes the wrong issue can be “fixed”!

Effective team members achieve a state of flow

You are a developer, working on a tricky problem, but you can’t seem to get into the right mindset to solve it. You keep getting distracted by meetings / instant messages / emails, and when you come back to it, the ideas you had have gone out of your head and you spend 10 minutes (or longer) remembering where you got to before you can make any progress!

We have all been there. It is a common and frustrating problem.

But there is hope!
