beSharp is an outstanding information technology company with wide international recognition-what is its secret?

“First, let’s explain what we do.
beSharp is an IT consulting company: we design, implement, manage infrastructure in the Cloud world, along the entire supply chain, on Amazon Web Service (AWS) for large Italian and multinational companies.
We embrace the entire IT lifecycle, from design to implementation of scalable services to 24/7 support for Cloud infrastructures on a global scale.

Back in 2011 we were among the first to believe in the cloud paradigm, on which we bet and therefore invested all our energies: we were the first AWS partner in Italy, even before AWS opened an office in our country!
Strong specialization in the cloud is the basis of our success and is still the core business of our company; continuous and certified training is a key asset, consequent to this strong specialization.

From the very beginning, in fact, we founded many AWS User Groups promoting the use of Cloud and Serverless technologies at various events over the years.
We encourage each of our employees, even those who are not directly involved in the technical aspects, to achieve as many AWS certifications as possible, and so we have become one of the teams with the highest number of AWS certifications per capita: we have the most certified team in Italy and Europe in our field!
Also for this, in 2019, beSharp was awarded “Forward-Looking Partner of The Year” during AWS Partner Day, in recognition of its expertise and significant number of certifications achieved.

This recognition by AWS, along with Competencies and Training Partner status, is just one of the last steps in a journey that we know will continue for a long time to come.
In summary, the certainty of absolute technical excellence is an indispensable asset of ours.”

How does beSharp differ from competitors?

“At beSharp, we believe in technology as an enabler of new business models.
That’s why we help companies adopt revolutionary technology models, implementing innovative projects that make them achieve their most ambitious goals.
We contribute to the evolution of the culture of innovation, studying and disseminating the most innovative IT paradigms ourselves, to enable organizations to face new challenges and seize all the opportunities they offer.
Technology, then, is at the heart of our business, but with a strategic approach.
From this assumption comes our approach to the customer that differentiates us from many other companies in our industry: an approach of transparency and knowledge sharing to put them in a position to best understand what we do.
We do not jealously guard our technical expertise, for fear of becoming less useful to the client in the day-to-day management of activities, but on the contrary we try to make the client a smart and prepared interlocutor with whom we can then build further tailor-made projects based on the needs of his business.
In this way we create a relationship not only of trust, but of strategic collaboration, we lay the foundation for that co-design that has enabled us to contribute to thousands of Cloud projects for the most prestigious companies around the world – I mention Pirelli, General Electric and Roche among others – in many different fields, from Cloud migrations to Cloud-native development, from IoT and Big Data to AI/ML projects.
But the source of our competitive advantage lies elsewhere as well…”

Among the key enterprise values for beSharp is a focus on employees: does technology or people matter more?

“”we deliver value through people, not services.”
People come first, and having a common value base is most important is the first criterion for being part of beSharp, even before technical knowledge, which, as mentioned, must be of excellence, but alone is not enough.
In 2015 we drafted our “exalogue” of values that all of us in beSharp keep as a compass in our daily actions.
It is a set of six values that is also proposed to the candidates at the selection stage, as a mutual assessment tool: the first of the three interviews we do is purely values-based, to assess the value and motivational levers; only after passing it is it possible to access the second interview of a technical type and, finally, the final interview with us, the founders of the company.But back to our “exalogue” of values:
Make it work: we make it run!
All of us at beSharp have to make it run and, above all, we have to solve problems, first and foremost.
We are always there for our clients, advice that is certainly an investment for them but also a certainty

Always aim for the best solution, avoid alibis and compromises of convenience.
It is necessary to know as technical specialists the best solutions: such in-depth, certified knowledge must guide consulting

Passionately study and learn new things whenever you have the opportunity.
Update yourself so you can look forward to new ideas and projects
Take care of those who work with you, whether they are colleagues or customers.
Give attention to all our stakeholders, everyone who comes into contact with beSharp.
In particular, when it comes to employees, we talk about Human Relations instead of Human Resources: each employee receives targeted attention, from tools to do their job better to sharing their personal needs.
During the March 2020 lockdown, for example, we made a big investment to provide people at home with chairs and monitors suitable for home working.
In beSharp, there are no fixed hours, just a rough guideline, and the doors of the offices have often been opened to family members, for get-togethers to get to know each other and share, but also for pure conviviality, in total transparency and team spirit.
And the results can be seen: in ten years, no one has resigned, and we continue to grow and hire.

Always say what you think, be honest with yourself and others.
Always say what you think is working and especially what you think is not working: we believe very much in the value of transparency in a constructive sense, and that is why we try to push everyone to express themselves sincerely; we often go around the table in our internal meetings to hear everyone’s voices, especially the critical ones.

Finally, the most important value: seek personal satisfaction in all the things you do, be happy!
Personal satisfaction is everything; if it is missing, the preconditions for professional satisfaction are also missing.

Both the human and professional fulfillment of our employees is the real added value for us and for our clients, and this is also why we invest in updating, training and growth, also and above all human and personal, of each of our employees.

A final key word I would like to highlight is responsibility: values should not remain just nice words.
The shared and common value base is functional in empowering people to make decisions on their own, decisions that are in line with beSharp’s philosophy and approach.”
