The Partnership
Flexibility as a Strategic Advantage One of the most valuable aspects of the Leaf relationship, in Brian Wolf's view, is the flexibility it provides. Rather than building and maintaining a large internal engineering team — with all the overhead and rigidity that entails — Parker has been able to scale its development capacity up or down based on what each phase of the platform requires. This model has delivered both operational agility and bottom-line benefit. When Parker needs to build new capabilities, Leaf's team is there with the depth and expertise to execute. When the focus shifts to stability and optimization, the engagement adjusts accordingly. That kind of flex is difficult to replicate with a fixed full-time headcount. "We've had the ability to flex the staff while we're building different pieces, and that kind of flexibility is really hard to do when you've got full-time FTEs. That's one of the big advantages of going to a Leaf — they give us the bench we need, but also the capabilities and the forward- thinking technology it takes to be competitive." — Brian Wolf , President & CEO
High Integrity, High Quality Beyond technical execution, Brian
describes the Leaf relationship in terms that go beyond a typical vendor dynamic. When asked to characterize the partnership, the words he reaches for are integrity, quality, and talent. "When I think about high integrity, when I think about high quality, when I think about good people and smart, talented engineers — all of those things describe Leaf. Our experience with Leaf has been nothing but awesome from the get-go." — Brian Wolf , President & CEO
