Eikos Partners Information

At Eikos Partners, everyone has experience working in cutting edge financial technology — at large commercial and investment banks, hedge funds and fintech startups. Around that core of people we have built a team of people with multiple cores of expertise – business, IT management, architecture, software engineering and technologies. Our goal is to bring better practices, and solution innovation, to the issues faced by financial institutions in meeting ongoing needs, in a constantly changing marketplace. Our most important traits, after obvious business and technology skills, are impatience and a fear of boredom — we want to fix your problems, train your staff, work with business leaders and then move on to the next challenges. We heavily focus on the quality of the solutions we deliver, and are not driven by quantity. Eikos Partners is small and intense by design because we value the sharing of skills and the intensity of our work. We are technologists, not management consultants or industrial psychologists, but in our experience many of the obstacles to effective technology operations revolve around people. We are always looking to leverage prior experience and process so that new projects can leverage this experience. As a result we have several toolkits that we leverage as we engage with existing and new clients and projects. We try to develop close collaboration even in large banks spread over many floors. Our proof of concept approach to problem solving is pretty basic and easily understood — Listen, Develop, Present. Then repeat as often as necessary. We work fast and as participants begin to see progress in stalled projects, they usually catch the enthusiasm and pitch in. As we develop a solution, we engage with the IT staff and train the people who will be responsible for maintaining and expanding its functionality. By the time we finish, our clients have a sustainable improvement in their operations.
