Mission
Helping You Leverage Your Edge
We believe that everyone has their own way of looking at the world. This gives them their own unique strengths or “edge”. We aim to help you to make the most of your edge.
Our edge is that we love to build. This makes us good at creating technology relating to Programming, Finance and Statistics, and helping and training people in those areas. This is the reason we call ourselves “The Institute of Quantitative Technology”. We aim to help you to leverage your edge by providing products such as software programs and libraries, and services such as training courses and consulting.
