For a 12th year in a row now, E-gineering has been recognized as a best place to work in Indiana. So many people here at E-g are responsible for that – go look at our Whole Team page for the face of each and every one of them! We say “recognized” because before we threw our hat into the BPTW ring for the first time in 2011, we knew we were a great place to work in Indiana. And even… [continue]
E-g Values People
E-g Focus on Values series As we pass our 19th anniversary and head into our 20th year as a business, we felt compelled to bring a little of the intimacy of our quaint company out into the open. Or as Don put it, “letting the internal leak outside a bit.” And so, we launch our “E-g Focus on Values” blog series! There are no “big personalities” here, and so we’re not strutting around presuming we’re the authority on any of… [continue]
Treasure People For a Best Place to Work
Another year has passed. We’ve covered a lot of new ground over the past year on our journey of life together here in the E-g family. We’ve seen some new breathtaking views, and had some new thrilling life experiences. We’ve endured deep personal losses together that none of us are ever truly prepared for. We have also been pleasantly surprised by life more times than we can count… And yet with all of that “new,” we find ourselves in familiar… [continue]
It’s About People
Being recognized among the Best Places to Work in Indiana – a hard-working state filled with so many excellent companies – is an incredible honor. But being named the #1 place to work, in a year in which we moved from the Small Companies up to the Medium category, is downright indescribable. As we have grown from a folding table in a garage almost 20 years ago into 80+ people and around 20,000 square feet of office space today, the… [continue]
Scrum Happens!
This is a special week at E-g. We have the privilege of hosting some valued clients in Scrum Master and Scrum Product Owner certification training. We brought in Daniel Gullo of Apple Brook Consulting because a few of our folks had training with Daniel in the past. He does an excellent job. You could say we value Scrum here at E-g. To date, we have around two dozen Scrum certifications among E-g consultants. Beyond the “piece of paper” of the… [continue]

This is the fifth article in a series where I’ll talk about the essential traits of an E-g consultant. All software has a social impact: people are affected by all aspects of the software life cycle and they are more important than all the previous topics covered in this series, by far. It can be easy to envision coming to the E-g office everyday working with E-g people and being a part of the E-g culture that we love. Sharing life… [continue]

This is the fourth article in a series where I’ll talk about the essential traits of an E-g consultant. When we go into that new project, we believe in it all the way. We have confidence in our ability to do it right. – Walt Disney In software development, much effort is devoted to address the “How” question from a process standpoint: How are we going to build successful software? The answer, of course, is “it depends”. In a previous part… [continue]

This is the third article in a series where I’ll talk about the essential traits of an E-g consultant. First, I should make it very clear that while we at E-g love many things about consulting, we absolutely do not think we are somehow superior to people that don’t love consulting. One of the wonderful things about this world is that each person is bestowed with gifts and talents that lead to tremendous variety in what we do when we go… [continue]
