Mitra VP Services

Cymune’s mission is to be the preferred technology lifecycle partner for Digital Acceleration and Innovation that is Cloudled, Security-first, and Data-driven. The goal is to help businesses transform by removing any security barriers with the assistance of a team of security expert technologists, operations specialists, researchers, and ethical hackers.

Cymune’s greatest differentiator is its lineage, where the company has invested thousands and millions of man-hours in understanding technology and business problems and in its efforts to create solutions and services that solve them. Cymune strives to meet customers’ unmet needs, such as deep tech offerings and a partner who can understand and solve their problems where others have failed. Cymune’s expertise and years of experience distinguish it from other system integrators with less cross-vertical and deep technology expertise.

Because of their size, they are extremely nimble and can quickly evolve and adapt to solve various customer problems in an efficient manner. They are neither too small, nor too large to become bogged down in processes.

To ensure client satisfaction, Cymune strives to provide real business value to the customer, act as a trusted advisor in times of need, and deliver operational excellence at the lowest possible cost, thereby saving the customer every dollar possible.

Vision and Work Culture

Businesses are increasing their investments in digital acceleration and innovation. There is a growing trend of looking for Hyper Automation opportunities across industries. Customers and traditional businesses are migrating to the cloud or modernising applications to run natively on the cloud because agility and security have become key ways in which technology is consumed.

Keeping this in mind, the Cymune team makes every effort to ensure that organizations are secure as they embark on their digital transformation. Their years of experience, combined with their rapid pace of innovation, ensure that any roadblocks that customers face are removed, empowering them with the agility of cloud and ensuring that their decisions are supported by data.

R&D and technological advancements have a significant impact on Cymune and everyone else. To be relevant to their customers, a company must innovate and reengineer their products/offering for modern platforms that meet the needs of a specific industry. For example, the Cymune product Ganana, which has been an important part of complex HPC clusters, has been renamed to deliver Hybrid services and will soon be available on the marketplace with Hyperscalers such as AWS.

Cymune contributes to all stages of a company’s security lifecycle. The demand for holistic security will only grow as enterprises invest more in the cloud, build data lakes, and deploy complex applications to serve their global business footprint.

They intend to make the majority of their security offerings SaaS and subscription-based, making it easier and less expensive for customers to adopt and grow with a predictable investment.

The company’s work culture has helped it grow during difficult times such as the pandemic. Being empathetic, building a hybrid workforce built on trust, and assisting customers with problems during Covid’s early days all helped the entire team get through it.

The company tries to create a Learning Path for its employees by sponsoring training and certifications at various levels, giving them a platform to make mistakes by doing innovative things, and ensuring incentivization for achievements, Rewards & Recognition, identifying talent and mentoring and grooming them, allowing the team to grow and flourish.

Furthermore, yearly events and celebrations such as Annual Planning & Celebration time, Festivals, Milestones, wins, Personal Achievements & Milestones, and Personal Achievements & Milestones are important team building exercises within the Cymune team.
