Vision

Back to 2008, a few of us experienced IT consultants envisioned that Cloud Computing was entering its prime time explosion. In fact, we saw that Cloud Computing would not only reform the entire existing mechanism and ecology of how companies use information technology to run their businesses; but it would also provide even more coverage and possibilities of unprecedented values to the commercial world. Such values are traditional IT industry model failed to bring about.

However, every fundamental change of the world always brings along hesitation and adaptation issues. In the case of Cloud Computing, it is even more significant.

Cloud Computing does not only fundamentally change how we do our technical design and system deployment, but also how users use the systems, and even the way companies finance them. It is a whole new ecology to the entire IT hardware, software, service, and consulting supply chain. We therefore were seeing people and companies having difficult times understanding, deciding, planning, and migrating to Cloud platforms; and make it work for their businesses.

Introv Limited was founded to focus on helping companies, big and small, to cope with and succeed in such paradigm shift in technology.

People

Despite the relatively short history of Introv, the founders of Introv are all seasoned advocates, designers, and executors experienced in helping people to use technology to run their businesses. The founding team has been working together for decades. Designed, consulted, implemented hundreds of IT systems of different architectures, platforms, scales, and functional disciplines. Over the years, from Mainframe-Terminal, to Client-Server, and now, to Cloud Computing, we managed to make technology work for people and businesses.

After generations of technology evolution, now with the emergence of Cloud Computing model, we finally come to the time that IT has truly become business-driven, instead of technology-driven. We deeply recognize such change, and therefore put our focus in consultancy and services totally on business values delivery and time-to-delivery. Such angle of focus could hardly be found in IT consultancy industry.

Practice

Introv Professional Service Practice™ (IPSP) is our general project practice which has been designed to fit into the Cloud Computing model. The purpose is to pin-point the core business values of a project and to deliver those values with minimum efforts in the shortest time. In traditional IT project rationale, solution designers target to deliver "perfect for all" systems which take months, if not years, to build; and before the systems come into production, they are no longer perfect because of the ever-changing nature of modern competitive business environment.

IPSP is designed to deliver "PERFECT FOR NOW" solutions which come in smaller chunks. We target to deliver usable business functions tomorrow, next week, next month! And make business impact in just right away. With IPSP, we do not build fancy dreams with customers. We work out immediate solutions in the shortest time with our customers.

The core value of our "PERFECT FOR NOW" solutions is delivered through our Iterative Maintenance practice. In traditional project model, users are told to "imagine" a perfect world, and work out the functional requirements as the blue print for implementation. One year later, when the system goes live, user will find that 30-40% of the "imaginative" requirements are imperfect or inaccurate. By then, effort has been spent on overcoming unnecessary hurdles, while some unforeseeable business problems are remained unsolved. Through Iterative Maintenance, wastage in requirement inaccuracy is minimized.
