CABEM's Culture Shows Importance of Women in Technology
The demand for sophisticated technology to power business success is growing. From training software to backend big data systems, software is becoming increasingly complex and important to businesses in any industry. And the team who will forge that path? Women.
BOSTON, Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The demand for sophisticated technology to power business success is growing. From training software to backend big data systems, software is becoming increasingly complex and important to businesses in any industry. And the teams who are building these products are increasingly made up of women.
While once a rarity, women are stepping into the spotlight and proving – once and for all – that they belong in IT roles and can take software products to a new level. From complicated data systems such as Internet of Things (IoT), software as a service (SaaS), and more, women's role in software development is growing fast.
The power of women in technology has never been as evident as with custom software company CABEM Technologies. CABEM's software applications help enterprise businesses grow, whether improving the training and competency management of employees, maintaining cyber security of their systems, or other custom development.
"My experience here has been great. Everyone is welcoming, kind, and happy to help whenever it's needed," shares new CABEM developer Katie S. "I feel like CABEM has given me the opportunity to make impactful contributions to projects in ways I may have not had at other companies."
With technology ever-evolving and the need for businesses to be more flexible, companies are increasingly looking for custom solutions or products with add-on modules. That type of customized work challenges CABEM developers to look for a solution, no matter who delivers it.
Jay Fredkin, CABEM chief executive officer, built the company knowing each solution that's offered through custom software must be created from a variety of viewpoints.
"CABEM strongly values diversity in our programmers and the rest of our staff. The diverse perspectives and viewpoints from the members of our team have helped us produce better software products and services," states Fredkin.
The proverbial glass ceiling that has held women in place for decades is being shattered by the women who power CABEM. Research from Office Team reveals 66 percent of employees who feel unappreciated will quit. Diversity and value are core components of the CABEM team philosophy.
"CABEM is focused on hiring good people and giving them the opportunity to succeed. Creating innovative software doesn't happen in a vacuum, it requires creative team members with diverse perspectives," says Kate D., Senior Software Consultant at CABEM.
As CABEM continues to grow, that impact will be felt far beyond the software systems Katie, Kate, and fellow developers create – and they're not alone. Women now represent the highest number (53%) of new Computer Science grads and junior developers entering the workforce, according to HackerRank's Women in Tech report.
The study goes on to reveal that women developers look for specific qualifiers in a job. When considering a potential job, women report their highest priorities are company culture and opportunities for professional development.
Women in technology are actively seeking careers with opportunities for career growth – a clear sign that women demand to progress to higher positions – and CABEM supports their quest to do so. The company is currently looking for more bright, creative, and motivated programmers. If you are interested in working at CABEM, email [email protected].
