About Us

Welcome to Electric Mind

People + Technology grounded in Engineering Excellence

At Electric Mind, we believe that technology has become intrinsic to business. The best strategies are informed and enabled by technology. We start by helping our clients establish a strategy that is practical to implement.

Then we provide design services to define the product, solution or transformation so that the transition to implementation is smooth and the program outcome is realized on time and on budget. Energized by diversity and delivered through connectivity, we transform challenges into practical, actionable results.

Why We Exist

We exist to transform complex challenges into clear, practical solutions. By combining engineering excellence with diverse perspectives, we strive to ensure that success is not just an outcome but a continuous journey of growth and improvement.

What We Believe

We believe that the brightest solutions emerge when diverse minds collaborate with a shared purpose. Grounded in engineering and driven by a pragmatic approach, we value action over theory and results over rhetoric. Our strength lies in connecting different ideas, experiences, and skills, challenging norms, and embracing the unknown to achieve true innovation.

What We Do

We deliver practical, innovative solutions grounded in engineering excellence. By harnessing the energy of diverse perspectives and strategic thinking, we tackle challenges with a unique blend of technical implementation and actionable insight. Our aim is to transform problems into bright, tangible results that drive success and expand the boundaries of what’s possible.

Our Stance On Consulting

Pragmatic innovation

We’ve had enough with impractical textbook strategies and disconnection from organizational realities. Instead, we’re all about identifying and applying technologies that actually solve specific business problems.

The power of diversity

We’re unified in our differences and believe that multi-disciplinary minds can transform today’s complexity into tomorrows solutions.

Genuine relationships

“We don’t want to be the company you send an email to; we want to be the one you call.” We aim to erase the line between vendor and client, building relationships beyond transactions grounded in trust and mutual success.

Human Engineering

We’re in the people business, creating synergies between business and technology, work and life, strategy and implementation, visions and results.

Back-seat drivers

We’re not only here to plan your trip, we’re co-driving and we’re with you on the entire journey.

Cookie-cutter approach

If 30 years of custom software development have taught us anything, it's that while business problems may sound alike, the key to successful and sustainable implementation lies in truly understanding the nuances.

Uniformity

When our clients are faced with complex challenges or unleashed opportunities, we believe in multi-disciplinary problem solving - because when Electric Minds come together, 1+1 is always greater than 2.

Disengagement

We're committed to being by our clients' side because solving tomorrow’s challenges requires us to be present in proximity, spirit, and mindset.

We are grounded in

We put our whole brain to work, delivering bright solutions, grounded in Strategy, Design and Engineering. Energized by diversity and delivered through connectivity, we transform challenges into practical, actionable results.
