The Motivation Behind PEA

As we witness the increasing commoditization of IT services, it becomes evident that some of the most persistent problems in the IT world are due to our inability to grapple with a handful of key areas that crucially underlie the success or failure of a system. This is of course compounded by the perennial issue of not having the right skill-set or the time to conduct the required research in mid-flight. Performance Engineering (PE) is clearly one such area.

To address this lacuna, PEA was formed by professionals who have had the opportunity to lead assignments that brought about several radical changes by bridging the gap between theory and practice in PE. These assignments, executed for some of the biggest corporate names worldwide, resulted in significant business and technical benefits.

Our Values

We are minimalists and we firmly believe that Occam's razor must reflect in the form and function of our deliverables.

We do not reinvent the wheel. The most amazing thing about performance engineering is that much of the body of knowledge has remained unchanged over the last few decades.

We know that each client organization has its peculiar tradeoffs. Our strategy is centered around an understanding of this fact.
