believes tools and new processes will come and go, but the
discipline and culture will survive. In order to fully
automate, a level of discipline needs to be nonnegotiable.
However, at the same point of time, the flexibility to
support change, even fundamental ones like a cloud, or
machine learning, AI, or whatever comes next is
paramount. It also thinks that change is the only constant,
so it needs to build for change.
Achieving success in
the digital economy
requires not only
experience, but also
insight and the
courage to be different

1000 new jobs for high skilled technology labor in
Australia, as a part of a bigger change of shifting the
industry back onshore and being part of bringing 100,000
new jobs to Australia over the next two decades.
Employees are the Pillars
When it comes to employees, Versent treats them as a
family. For years the company has watched as enterprises
have let the technology gap widen between it and everyone
who use at home. It brings craftsmanship back to
technology, and provide an environment where diversity is
expected, accepted, and appreciated in all forms. A
challenging environment that is best in the industry and
employees can freely test the boundaries and can help to
spread the movement to others. Till date, the Australian
company has been able to attract some of the best
employees in the industry, mostly by protecting the culture
and fostering strong, pragmatic disciplines. Versent
encourages its employees to be innovative, and it
continually invests in initiatives, like meetups, tech
sessions, and partner hack.
