Cognos TM1 Developer at DigiOutsource

The Department

At DigiOutsource, we build systems that help bring end user customers through the doors. In order to ensure those customers stay with us, we create exceptional supporting systems too!
By employing agile methodologies that take into account ever-changing client requirements, we can deliver on our goal of quick, efficient turnaround times. It is why we believe in having the right tools to develop superior software. In addition, it’s why exploring development utilities is so important, as this enables us to make sure the software we build is not only efficient, but sustainable too.

Because we use only the best tech available, we can fulfil our primary objective of safeguarding the high quality, reliability and availability of the systems built. Importantly, we embrace early when it comes to new technologies like Service Fabric, Akka .NET Streams, .NET Core, Angular 2, Bootstrap 4 and Kibana X-Pack. And while we aim to be fearless when tackling cutting-edge tech, we always work towards ensuring we don’t impact our clients’ ability to get to market.

As we are essentially a service delivery department, the teams in Software Development – from Websites and Lobbies to Customer Management and Platform & Shared Services – work together to ensure our clients’ needs are always met.
