about us
A HIGH-STANDARDS TEAM
Akiani is an Inuit word, from the language of a people living in a tough environment who have to cope with it. It means "on the other side", and for us that's the users' side.
Before Akiani, there was engineering school, where we became friends. Then came the working world, consulting firms, scientific research.
And finally, Akiani, which looks quite a lot like us: a bit of rigor from research, pragmatism from industry, and imagination, to keep it a story of friends. In other words: offer you the best we can do, within your constraints of time and budget, and sometimes letting ourselves try original things.
Since 2013, we have patiently been building our team. We've made some mistakes and we have grown.
Today, we have surrounded ourselves with experts who share our values and our ethics of a job well done for the right reasons. And we don't plan on stopping there. Every day, we work to improve our methods, the quality of our service and our deliverables. So your users are always a little more satisfied. And so are you.
