Founded by former CERN engineers and scientists, Cledar has taken its foundation from the working experience on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and applied that knowledge to real-world data-driven applications. In essence, Cledar builds for clients the types of applications that interact with real-world images, video, audio, remote sensing or specialized IoT devices. With that data, we train machines: image classification, NLP annotation, aggressive behavior detection, predictive equipment failure, up through scenario predictive analytics for cities and countries. We then fuse application workflows with this intelligent ML to create a more actionable software experience for end users.If they can do it for the world's largest machine, perhaps it's worth a conversation to see if Cledar could be valuable to your software development as well?

Engagement solutions is all about structuring project teams to be successful for the long run. Beyond scale-up / scale-down, production efficiencies, and access to worldwide talent, our mission is to tap into the relationships between people and add structure to them such that we ensure teams grow with the utmost confidence and productivity.Working with a team of three to four “Hunters” at any one time, I structure deals that are typically scaled technology team engagements starting with 2 to 5 FTE with the intent to grow to 10 to 20 FTE within ~1 year. Target accounts range from funded startups to enterprise businesses, either firmly in the SaaS product domain or where software is at least an integral part of their business strategy.Deal types include, but not limited to: - Dedicated Team Extension - Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) - Train-the-Trainer - R&D Roadmap and Discovery - Build-to-Order projectsMy role in engagements starts at the moment of a first scheduled call with a client. We will have already done research to understand the prospect’s business domain as well as the contact’s role and background. By setting an upfront agenda for the call, we quickly converse through the preliminaries and advance to identifying opportunity as gleaned from either the prospect’s ideal vision of need and/or pain points in their current operation. We then tailor Svitla’s value proposition around the key relevant points from the dialogue. Most deals involve a multi-call sales cycle that can take upwards of 9 months to close, and which can pull in other stakeholders and usually involve levels of due diligence along the way. Each engagement is customized with regards to people-oriented solutions, account management approach and continuous improvement methodology.
