e2x is a consultancy focussing on helping its clients achieve better, faster, smarter software delivery.
e2x was founded early in 2001 in the UK by three software practitioners who shared a belief that the best way to deliver projects in any volatile environment is to use simple practices in a highly disciplined, iterative process; encouraging communication and innovation, and to support skilled people in doing their jobs well. By emphasising these traits, project teams deliver high-quality solutions whilst remaining flexible enough to deal with change without sacrificing predictability or the management of risk.
Based on this ethos, e2x has successfully delivered many projects for corporate clients in Europe and further afield. These have ranged from short-term, emergency interventions through to reviews and long-term, high-profile, large-scale delivery projects. e2x delivers its services using the best combination of employees, expert associates and client staff to achieve sustainable solutions to client problems.
