About Us
Equinox IS' core architects and partners have been working in IT since 2004 and in the finance sector since 2008, building investment banking platforms for Morgan Stanley, Citibank, Goldman Sachs and others. Since the launch of Equinox IS we have worked with start-ups and medium sized firms across different industries including insurance and telecommunications.
Our consultants typically have at least 10 years' experience in developing commercial software, covering all aspects of end-to-end software delivery. We develop data focused solutions that help our customers reach their goals of success.
Vision
Equinox IS has the vision to create a platform and a marketplace for companies who want to benefit from the advancement of technology, allowing them to focus on the business need at hand, not the challenges which were already solved several times.
Our Mission
The mission we’re on as a team is to build intelligent software solutions that not only solve complex challenges, but that drive significant value to businesses and people. We want to be at the forefront of the intelligent automation, software and data science industries.
Innovation
Innovative thinking is encouraged by all at Equinox IS. We enjoy pushing the boundaries to see what more can be achieved with the vast and continually growing technology stack we have at our fingertips.
Results-driven
We believe in giving everything to achieve excellence. Our team love what they do, and strive to provide the best possible outcomes for our customers. We measure success and continuously look at how we can improve.
Transparency
We foster an open, collaborative culture, both internally and with our customers. We believe in using and contributing to open source technologies, bringing tools to as many people as people.
Ethical responsibility
Intelligent software is the future. We therefore know how important it is to design AI responsibly for the greater good of society. We’ve contributed to volunteer projects that allow us to make the best use of today’s advancements for society.
Our Story
The equinox and solstice define the transitions between seasons and are important parts of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. As technologists, our competency is in balancing the development of solutions from the ground up, as well as optimally utilising resources. Our culture can be linked to the equinox which marks the beginning of spring and autumn. The birth of something new and the storing of resources in preparation for the harsh winter season.
We believe in transparency and sharing which is why the open source technology community is important to us.
The creation of intelligent software that is ethical, scalable, and contributes to a better world excites us.
We accelerate the success of our customers with data-driven software and valuable insights that contribute to bold decisions.
