History |
A&W
was founded by Jo Sharpe in 2009 on the belief that too many technology
services companies were not sufficiently user or customer focused; that
ownership of problems should reside with those that deliver the
solutions; that transparency builds trust; that long term relationships
are the only way to do business.
Our values are all about removing obstacles that make our customers
inefficient; we want to set them free.
So we thought we should make it easy to aggregate data from
legacy/cherished/other systems and deliver it to a user; so easy in
fact, that it would dispense with fat client reporting tools or having
to phone the IT guys; so easy, the end user could just get on with it.
We also thought that email was a really bad way to share data and that
it shouldn't take more than a couple of clicks to share that data with
anyone you trust...whoever they work for and wherever they are.
And isn't the point of generating all that data to make your
organisation better? And don't organisations get better by using that
data to make better decisions? We thought that data and processes
should sit together, so that business decisions can be made in the
right context.
Our customers liked the sound of this enough for us to iterate through
some prototypes, culminating in an alpha release of Flow in August 2010
after about 5 months of development. In its first incarnation, Flow
delivered on it's key promises and we're not stopping there...it
continues to get easier to use and yet more capable.
A&W is based in the UK in Teesside and Manchester. A&W
is privately owned by it's founders and team.
