** the solera way
** solera’s uncommon culture is based on three simple principles: think 80/20 (focus), act 30/30 (efficiency), and live 90/10 (accountability).  We define our mindset using our 3h’s: humility, a hunger to succeed, and a desire to hunt for opportunities to win. Teams engage with each other modulating between their intellect (iq) and emotional intelligence (eq) using our 3fs: facts, finesse, and force.

Solera has become a global technology leader that is constantly growing in the double digits.  The principles, drills, and values associated with the solera way have been fundamental to solera’s success and our ability to grow, continuously change, and innovate.
