But with such fast growth comes challenges . “ When these companies joined the group , we ended up with a whole crew of engineers and product teams working on dozens of different technologies , with different tech stacks , methodologies and business models . We decided to create the Technology Solutions capability to globally align the Why , What and How of proprietary tech built at Jellyfish ,” says Pipat .
“ Our first step was to define our strategy , both in the short-term and in the future . We did so by defining our core principles , providing a guiding compass for all technology decisions .”
