Why pigs?

:

Well, this allegory is certainly obvious for anyone ever involved in processing a larger dataset.

However, if you are lucky enough to be using only insights provided by data, you might be surprised we do not advertise ourselves as

a team of dedicated professionals, working with love and passion for data, thriving in an agile environment to provide you with results of transformative potential for the whole of your business;

but rather as a bunch of pigs rooting in mud.

The reasons are as follows:

  • pigs are lovely creatures, in fact
  • working with data is both enjoyable and dirty
  • not everything you find is gold, many times it’s just excessive spaces
  • pigs tend to be passionate when it comes to seeking things (try distracting them from rooting) and can be really fast (try running away after successfully interrupting them)
  • they are way more honest and friendly than an average team of professionals
  • there are many more reasons to be written down, but we also have some projects to do

If you like the main artwork – it’s a variation on „Pigs at the Trough”, a painting by Joseph Crawhall from 1884. Even if you think the world could do equally well without data science, you are invited to keep visiting us as more piggy illustrations will certainly appear.
