As A Corporate Citizen

As a corporate citizen, Quazant recognizes that it has a responsibility to
offer what it can back to the community from which it draws. 

The company’s good-will relationships affect its image, employee morale, productivity, and vendor and customer loyalty. To that end, Quazant is a member of the Better Business Bureau, and also a founding member of the Houston Entrepreneurs Foundation.  The Houston Entrepreneurs Foundation’s mission is to enable Houston’s future leaders to give and to continue building a foundation that will support entrepreneurs and their communities for generations to come.  To that end, HEF holds a block of Quazant stock options, which are held in trust until Quazant has a liquidity event.  At that time, the Foundation exercises the options on Quazant’s behalf and deposits the proceeds into a “donor directed” fund.  HEF then assists Quazant in finding charitable recipients that reflect the company’s philanthropic interests.  Quazant takes a deduction on the gift at the time of the liquidity event equal to the difference between the original exercise price and the price of the stock at the time of liquidity.

By working with HEF, we reassure Quazant’s position as a dedicated corporate citizen early in our development, which both enhances our corporate image and nurtures a corporate culture that embraces community involvement.

As An Employer

As an employer, Quazant wants to incorporate that entrepreneurial spirit upon which the company was started, and with which each employee joined the company.

We recognize that our employees are our most valuable asset and must be protected by each and every employee within the company.  To achieve the goal of a mutually beneficial working environment, Quazant employees must be honest, respectful, professional, hard working, and fair with themselves and their fellow employees.

At Quazant we want each employee to know that he or she, as an individual, is highly respected and is an integral part of a collective effort.  Additionally, in the spirit of entrepreneurship, when an employee encounters something for which the company has few guidelines, we want him or her to feel free to grow and develop the area.  In other words, we reward forward and free thinking.

While we must keep the long-term horizon in mind, Quazant wants its employees to know that short-term issues and projects are important and grow into the long-term life of the company.  With that in mind, we will not allow an employee to sacrifice quality of life for the company.  While we admire the work ethic, it is not sustainable over long periods of time without, ultimately, having a potentially disastrous effect on the employee’s personal life and that of the company.

Quazant hires only experienced, capable, and bright individuals who bring not only those qualities, but also an amiable personality to the company. In recognition that not every employee’s life circumstances are the most conducive to working from Quazant’s offices, employees are allowed to work from their home.  This also broadens the area from which Quazant can draw talented resources.

Given that we hold our employees and their capabilities in such high regard, we are able to live by some things that other hold to be impossible:

 
It is possible to produce bug-free software

Simplicity is the key to success

It is possible to outperform the future

Quazant is an equal opportunity-oriented company.  We recruit, employ, train, compensate and promote without regard to race, creed, color, national origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, or veteran status.

As A Product Provider

Just as we hold ourselves to the highest levels of ethics and honesty with and from our employees, we extend the same consideration to our customers and partners.  Holding to these standards becomes especially important and scrutinized when either or both parties are under pressure.  Quazant holds itself to these highest levels at all times and with every customer and partner.

We recognize that trust is the basis of a relationship, whether business or personal. Without trust in Quazant, customers will focus on short-term transactions rather than making the “soft” investments necessary for creating mutual and enduring value.  In addition to creating the trust relationship, Quazant wants to ensure that it provides uncompromising quality in its products and services.

Simply meeting the expectations of our customers and partners will not generate the relationships Quazant wants to foster.  Only by exceeding our customers’ expectations, and holding itself to the aforementioned standards, can Quazant be successful in creating lasting customer and partner relationships.  Only with this type of relationship can opportunities arise for improving both Quazant’s and its customers’ business.
