Optaros spends a lot of time with our customers on defining the best way(s) to work together. We look at a number of aspects – business relationship, technology, process. But arguably the most important factor is cultural fit. Internally, Optaros expends an extraordinary amount of energy to make sure the people who work here feel a good cultural match – it's probably our biggest consideration during the hiring process. And this focus translates to our customer engagements as well.

With that as a backdrop, it is easy to understand why we have such a close business relationship with our friends at Endeca. As one of the fastest growing technology companies in the Boston area, Endeca has built a team of highly driven individuals. Endeca values hard work and encourages teams to work closely together toward defined goals. The company focuses on creating the best user experience for its customers and appreciates technical solutions that aren't just elegant, but solve real business problems. People at Endeca are energetic – they work hard and have fun. And ultimately, isn't that the best environment and culture? I certainly believe so.
