Values

Our EPIC model (Excellence, Participation, Integrity, Collaboration) serves as the basis of our operation and permeates all areas of our business.

Excellence

Beginning with our hiring practices, we pursue excellence in all areas that are critical to delivering outstanding value to our clients. SEI has become a recognized leader in IT consulting by consistently providing extraordinary results for our clients.

Following a judicious and disciplined hiring practice is the first step in our pursuit of excellence. This focus on excellence provides SEI with a hiring advantage that allows us to attract and retain the best and brightest in a highly competitive market. Our systems and processes allow us to unleash that intellectual capital for the benefit of our clients.

Participation

The participation of our staff in the ownership and management of the company creates commitment to our shared future. We reinforce our commitment to SEI and our clients by aligning our business goals with the consultant’s goals.

SEI's business model is founded on empowering the heart and soul of our business - our consultants. They have the expertise and the opportunity to make SEI and our clients succeed.

Our unique participative management style is enabled through full open-book management, which provides each employee with the information they need to quickly make decisions that benefit their clients and build lasting business relationships.

Every employee participates directly in the future of the business by owning stock in SEI. Their participation in the management of the company's future success is predicated upon the success of our clients.

Integrity

We maintain the highest moral standards of honesty, ethics, and integrity with respect to clients, team members, and the communities we live and work in.

A key component of our culture is the personal gratification that comes from knowing you are free to pursue high moral standards of conduct. Incentives and reward systems are carefully designed to support this core value.

Integrity provides more than just professional and personal gratification. It is the essential ingredient necessary to earn the trust and respect of our clients. Once this trust is earned, we are positioned to provide even greater value to our clients, employees, and stockholders.

Collaboration

Commitment to collaborative relationships and knowledge sharing increases productivity, quality, and innovation in all our endeavors.

At SEI, we consider the management of our Knowledge Assets a core competency and have fostered a culture and processes to support it. We see every engagement as an opportunity to learn and increase value for our clients and consultants - leaving both with greatly enhanced intellectual capital. Capturing and leveraging knowledge improves the productivity of all project resources, and when managed, drives the goals of the business.

Although our consultants are at many different local operating companies and client sites, they carry with them a solid foundation built on best practices and collaboration that ensures continuous innovation and reusability. This knowledge sharing is at the heart of SEI, and how we build value for our clients.

What Makes SEI Different?

We possess a culture and set of core values that energizes our people and unleashes our intellectual capital. The careful alignment of culture, strategies, and people allows us to deliver unique value to our clients. Employee ownership in our company fosters a commitment to quality. When you engage a consultant from SEI, you are engaging a stakeholder with a long-term vested interest in the partnership between our two companies. We offer our employees more than a job. We offer them a sense of community, security, and mutual trust and respect. With these needs met, our consultants are free to focus their talents on the needs of our clients.
