The Brady innovation
Known for its established position as an enabler for customers, Brady also brings a remarkable innovative potential to the energy market. “We strongly believe in harnessing the collective knowledge of the open source community to enable us to fast track our technology strategy,” affirms Aleksandar Sasha Cvetkovic, Head of Energy Portfolio. As a part of this strategy, Brady readily utilizes many popular open source frameworks and components including vendor-neutral API applications. The benefit of this approach enables the company to stay ahead of the current risks and helps in maintaining bespoke libraries and frameworks that can leverage the knowledge of a multitude of developers available in the open source community.
The company is also closely monitoring the blockchain development. “By leveraging blockchain, we will be able to simplify the trading workflows and processes and significantly reduce pertinent costs while having an immediate trading confirmation with full visibility of all the participants without any intermediaries,” adds Cvetkovic.
Along with a promising vision, Brady also brings the richness of experience and ethical business values to the table. As an influencer himself, Cvetkovic’s leadership principles align with Brady’s company values of trust, collaboration and innovation and its strategic focus on customer satisfaction and growth. “What glues us together as an organization is a strong focus on delivering value to our customers and innovative software development.
