Finding meaning in everything we do has been our guide since the very beginning. This of course includes our logo as well! So, let’s look closer and find out what it stands for.
It all began with curiosity, a vision, and a suiting name – ICodeFactory. Since we are the factory that produces codes, it seemed like a logical name that easily presents our domain of expertise - showing that our services cover coding that makes clients’ ideas possible.
Our name is written with an - I - in front of CodeFactory, which has multiple meanings. First of all, it stands for the individuals working in the company. We care for each person working with us and nourish the surrounding which is beneficial for the mutual learning process and growth. Without it, the technical part of providing sophisticated and customized software solutions wouldn’t be possible. People working with us are constantly learning, gaining experience on various projects, and most importantly – supporting each other.
Secondly, the I in ICodeFactory also stands for interface in Object-oriented programming. Interface can be understood as contract, a guarantee that the implementation will be done in accordance to what was agreed upon. And we firmly stand behind what we commit to deliver to our valuable partners, customers and colleagues.
Working with people who support each other and think alike results in mutual understanding and easy-going communication – which is exactly how the story of the ICodeFactory logo started. It started with a collaboration with our colleague and a great professional. Knowing people standing behind ICodeFactory gave him a clear idea of what our logo should look like. So, without any iteration, having great insight into the values we work for and live up to, a suitable logo illustration was created - giving a powerful representation of the vision behind it.
As you can see, it’s a small factory of ideas, that is shown as a light bulb coming out of the factory’s chimney. An interesting and important detail about it is a slightly asymmetrical nature of a lightbulb. The reason behind it is the understanding that ideas aren’t supposed to appear perfectly shaped. Imperfection is what keeps us growing because it requires innovativeness and innovativeness takes us beyond established patterns. That is what progress looks like.
Our logo didn’t miss the progress part either. Keeping the initial idea, we’ve made slight differences through the years, to adjust it to the visual changes we’ve made to our appearance. One of those changes is the green color we became recognizable for. The shade of green was intentionally picked to represent a natural color. The reason for that is the eco-friendly nature of the factory, where despite our name might point to a factory, we only produce ideas – making no environmental waste out of it. Besides, supporting local ecological organizations is a part of our mission.
Speaking of habits, in a way, they represent dedication and make it easier to stay persistent. Still, it’s important to create new ones and - from time to time - do something extraordinary. This brings us to the main point, to our credo that inspired logo creation and has been leading us through all this time: To implement it, you need habits and routines, but to come up with a vision, you need ideas and dreams that are not part of your habits.
Now, as a part of a habit of concluding what one started with, we’ll come back to the beginning. We started this story by introducing you to the meaning behind our logo. We will conclude it with a simple, yet meaningful message our logo sends: Both sides of the coin are equally important, being a dreamer and being a doer. Being both means being imperfect, but still doing and learning something, which means - always growing and progressing.
We are happy to announce that, once again, we have renewed our annual membership as Gold Microsoft Partner!
ICodeFactory’s 13-year-long partnership with Microsoft symbolizes our lasting commitment to continuously maintain the highest level of competence in Microsoft technologies. By doing this, we are ensuring that year after year, we provide our partners with the best service as Microsoft Certified Software Developers and Trainers.
We offer IT Solutions, IT Training and IT Consulting services and we are proud to have stable, rewarding partnerships working with companies from a variety of industries.
It has always been our imperative to make sure that our team has the resources required to reach their highest competencies, and being a Gold Microsoft Partner has helped us achieve just that. Thanks to this, our team of software engineers has exclusive access to the official Microsoft learning and training material, which they apply in our custom-based IT Training services, specially designed for the needs of our clients and their employees. Not only this, it has helped us create the ICodeFactory Microsoft Certification Training program, created for young motivated people ready to begin their career at ICodeFactory and become a part of our team of Microsoft technology experts!
The secret behind our longstanding partnerships is simple - as software technology experts, we believe that our knowledge is never complete. In our field of work, we are motivated to stay up-to-date with the latest technologies in order to be able to offer the best possible services. The partnership with Microsoft helps us do exactly that - we are proud to stand by the quality that we offer through our services.
In the future years, we see the amazing ICodeFactory team aiming for greatness in every sense, and we are sure that our partnership with Microsoft is one of the key factors that will help us reach our goal!
This was the year that represented the 15th anniversary of the company's existence. So, it was a great opportunity to recollect the values that led us through that time. We found 15 valuable lessons for 15 years of persistence and dedication to knowledge and growth.
Specifically, this year made us realize how important it is to love what you do. So, when we look back at the past year, we could say that we are proud of all the amazing projects we had a chance to successfully deliver. But more than that, we are proud of our teamwork. Work that needed to be done was such an enjoyable process thanks to people around us, who genuinely love what they do and are deeply engaged in the process.
Since mentioning the importance of people we surround ourselves and collaborate with, it seems like a great opportunity to mention how proud and thankful we are for the partnerships we’ve made this year, but also the partnerships we’ve cherished and continued to grow.
For the first time, we collaborated with one of the oldest cultural and scientific institutions – Matica Srpska. The reason behind it was the support we wanted to provide to the institutions that nurture and share knowledge. This way, we believe we are one step closer to building a better future, promoting values that witness that education and investment in goals have no expiration date.
Following the mentioned belief - this year we proudly renewed the company’s Microsoft Gold Partner status. It allowed us to expand our knowledge and work more efficiently, applying the latest technology. That led not only to a higher level of customer satisfaction but to the increase of team’s motivation, getting feedback confirming our professional competence.
Besides delivering precise software solutions, Microsoft's partnership made us able to train and educate other professionals. Believing that knowledge is valuable only if shared, we didn’t miss a chance to organize internships for young talents, and a yearly conference for students - ICodeFerence Youth 2021. We see this as a way of supporting the youth when preparing for professional challenges, but also as an opportunity to learn from hearing their fresh point of view.
Overall, it was a pleasure to spend one more year following the values we stand for, working with people sharing them with us. The value that marked this year - so did all the years behind us - is never to stop learning and striving for your goals.
ICodeFactory wishes you happy holidays! See you in 2022!
