In the three decades since 1991 when three friends – Anil Apte, Sunil Puri, and Sanjiv Khanna – founded Iris Software in a garage in India, the company has steadfastly followed its dual maxim of “Client First, Employee First.” Today, with more than 4,000 employees spread across North America and India, Iris has been rated as a Great Place to Work both in North America as well as in India. Also, we are among the Top 25 Great Places to Work in India within the IT services industry.
The founders’ vision is to be our client’s most trusted technology partner and the first choice for the industry’s top professionals who want to realize their full potential. Flowing from that is our mission to help our clients achieve their business goals by fully leveraging technology while providing an unparalleled, personalized client and employee experience.
In line with our vision and mission, over these decades, we have continued to focus on agile delivery of high-value complex Application & Product Engineering and associated services such as Data & Analytics, Cloud, DevOps, Data & ML Ops, Quality Engineering, and Business Automation. A key differentiator is our Diamond Talent Structure, where the majority of our engineers have between 5 and 9 years of experience compared with the typical pyramid model of the industry where a significant percentage of talent is below 5 years.
We leverage this talent pool to create highly functional pods of 8-12 engineers each, who are well-versed in distributed agile methodologies. Most of the engineers in these teams have a good understanding of our clients' domains - Capital Markets/Front office operations, Investment Management, Brokerage, Risk and Compliance, Insurance, Health Care/Life Sciences, or Supply Chains/Logistics.
These pods form our core engineering teams, who have partnered with our client’s technology teams for 5-7 years or longer and have successfully become an integral part of their transformation journeys.
This has resulted in long-term client relationships with our customer satisfaction survey scores consistently averaging 6.5 on a scale of 7.
