Our Recent Java-Based Successes

Professional networking site
Several hundred thousand members share information about their careers, review vendor briefings and receive professional development and education-related information.

Hospital environment monitoring intranet application
Solution wirelessly integrating environment-monitoring devices to ensure compliance and safety. To achieve timely response to warning signs the system escalates the alerts by dialing phone numbers of the personnel on duty and sending text messages if alert screens and alert emails do not result in prompt action.

Multi-vendor repository integration
Integrates repositories from multiple platforms – Documentum, Sharepoint and Vignette – and ensures integrity and consistency of information. Verification and update modules are Java-based.

How do we do it?

As always, it starts with our people. We have well over a hundred Java software architects, senior developers and developers. 70% have a Masters Degree or equivalent in computer science. Many have advanced degrees including Ph D’s in related areas such as math and physics. And our low turnover rate ensures these top-notch individuals are with our team year after year. Plus, they’re backed up by a hundred QA engineers well-versed in manual and automated testing. All our people collaborate and become personally invested in the projects they work on – people with a “throw it over the wall” mentality simply don’t work at Kanda.

And the best thing about our people? Their flexibility. Java is fluid, continually changing. And Kanda people keep up, changing right along with it, continuing their Java education inside the company as well as at leading universities. You see, our people aren’t just great Java programmers – they’re great programmers, period. We make sure of that with gender-neutral salaries; hires and promotions based on merit; and no discrimination for age, gender, sexual preferences or “connections.”

Kanda programmers:

• Go through intensive technical interviews and a three-month trial period before being officially hired.
• Receive formal Agile methodology training and continual improvement exercises.
• Have diverse backgrounds, but have one thing in common, they are great thinkers and problem solvers.
• Integrate with client teams as much as or as little as is appropriate – the client always retains all IP.
