Our Values
The word “team” isn’t just jargon at empower®, it’s part of our everyday life. For us, internal competition and being a team exclude each other. We have a lot of fun at work and continuously motivate each other to get better every day. We’re all passionate about advancing our mission – to help you learn to love Office using our solutions!
We're our own strictest critics and motivators. We don't settle for consistently working to a high standard – we want to push harder to get even better every day. That aspiration motivates us to remain the "gold standard" for Microsoft Office development worldwide.
Our clients – that means you – always deserve our highest priority and support. No matter whether during the sales process, implementation, or after acceptance. We love enthusiastic customers – that’s why we get up in the morning!
We don’t make false promises – either during sales or implementation. We openly address issues and collaborate closely with our clients to solve problems. We don’t fear criticism – we appreciate it: it helps us get better and better.
