Most importantly, the business provides us with meaningful growth opportunities as we build toward our longterm goal of $1 billion in annual revenue and is immediately accretive to margins.” D3O impact absorbing technology is trusted worldwide in U.S. military combat uniforms and protective gear worn by professional athletes. In its raw state, D3O materials flow freely when moved slowly, but on shock, lock together to absorb and disperse energy before instantly returning to their flexible state.

“Here at devZing, we primarily serve software development and quality assurance teams. Our clients come from all corners of the world. We have public and private organizations, very large well-known brands and tiny startups. We know good tooling is important to a successful project. We also know that those tools can require time and attention away from more important things, so we do it for our customers, enabling them to concentrate on what makes their organization unique.
“Operating in a market that is largely commoditized, at devZing we understand that we need to provide high levels of customer service at a reasonable price with little or no downtime or our customers will vote with their feet. As such, we provide support via email and 100% of the time we respond in 24 hours or less (typically much less). We have received many, many complements over the years about how much people are pleasantly surprised that we actually follow through on our support promises.

“Ultimately, continuous learning is the only approach to keeping up in the technology field. The trick is to pick and choose what to spend those precious hours on. I like to have a blend of very specific information related to our business and some more speculative and tangentially related fields. Our customers create product in a myriad of markets and it is good to have some idea what those markets are going so we can be there
“In today’s market software is becoming vital, and as such we expect more and more organizations to need our services whether they know it now or not. To accommodate them, we are constantly evaluating the evolution of software development and quality assurance and how it maps back to our services. We always have ideas about how to improve our services and run them by our existing customers to see if they make sense in the real world.”
