Core Values
Vertical Works believes that honesty and integrity are two major ingredients for success.  We believe that quality information, facts, and ideas (including opinions of dissent) are vital to the project and the development process.  Teamwork is best achieved when all individuals involved are actively participating.   

Vertical Works believes in full disclosure of process and information.  Our entire operational process is built to deliver traceability and accountability.  Customer satisfaction is key to our success.  Long lasting business relationships depend on our ability to provide clients with outstanding levels of satisfaction on every project; every single day.

Vertical Works believes adaptation and flexibility are key in sustaining a competitive edge. In today's world, the ability to learn faster than your competition is as important as the application of the correct technology with applicable knowledge and skill.  When plotting a solution "speed" and "ability" are as critical as "quality of design".

Vertical Works is very patriotic; we believe in the "American dream" and the "American way of life".  We also believe in American Jurisdiction.  While many companies elect to use "off-shore" engineering talent,  Vertical Works uses 100% American based engineering talent to ensure your intellectual property rights and IP safety.

The facts related to "off-shoring failures" can't be denied.  Factors such as "jurisdiction", "time-zones", the need for "one-day-travel", and the need to use "expert talent" have all but crippled the promises related to the "off-shore" concept.  As it turns out, a growing number of American companies have elected to use American based engineers in a virtual capacity.  This is the model Vertical Works has operated with for the last 15 years; high grade virtual collaboration & engineering services.
