The Olympics are far more than the glory of sport – they cater to our sense of global unity, loyalty, integrity, and determination as they celebrate ultimate feats of achievement. Beyond athletic competition, the Games are a mark of:
- Historical Tradition and International Unity: Rooted in ancient Greek tradition, the Games emphasize the idea of nations coming together in a spirit of friendly competition and mutual respect.
- Cultural Diversity: The Olympics provide a platform for cultural exchange. The host country and participating countries share their traditions, fostering appreciation among diverse cultures.
- Sportsmanship and Fair Play: They emphasize the values of sportsmanship, fair play, and integrity—showing respect for opponents as they adhere to the rules of the game.
- Inspiration and Aspiration: They celebrate the human spirit, highlighting stories of perseverance, overcoming obstacles, and achieving greatness against the odds. They serve as a reminder of what individuals can accomplish through hard work and resilience.
The Olympics bring together the world’s best athletes to showcase their precision, dedication, and admirable personal traits for the world to admire. It’s these attributes that resonate most with Tangoe.
Characteristics Every Company Should Emulate
From 14-year-old Nadia Comaneci – the first gymnast to score the maximum 10.0 in Olympic history in 1976 to Bob Beamon’s 1968 record-breaking 29.5 ft. long jump, Olympians share a common set of characteristics that every company should emulate in their aim to help customers continually improve and drive business performance. The upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics remind us of the traits and qualities that differentiate “gold level” companies from the rest, which Tangoe always strives to embody as the leader in technology expense and asset management:
Determination, Discipline, Integrity… and More
Like Kerri Strug performing the vault that clinched the gold medal for the 1996 U.S. Olympic team despite having injured her ankle, beating the odds means doing everything in your power to achieve your goals — even pushing the limits of possibility. Determination, courage, and persistence are the universal language of the Olympic dialogue – it’s about setting a goal and achieving it. Never taking no for an answer.
Tenacity Drives Determination: Tangoe is firm in its revolve to continually improve by pushing the limits, from accumulating more than 70 patents as of February 2024, that distinguish us as an industry disruptor to gaining recognition as a Premiere Member of the FinOps Foundation and a contributing member of the FinOps FOCUS project.
Discipline Equates to Precision: Tangoe’s entire business model is based on achieving and maintaining Olympic-level accuracy, so our clients can get the transparency and visibility they need to drive financial efficiency and cost savings for their IT organizations. Take a look at Tangoe’s excellence in building a precise catalog of IT assets and services as well as our ability to leverage AI to process invoices in 8 seconds.
Integrity Results in Work Ethic: Doing things the right way, never compromising standards or quality, is the Tangoe way. Tangoe is steadfast in its commitment to do right by customers in their pursuit of productivity, insights, and IT savings. This is evidenced by Tangoe’s outstanding Net Promoter Score and our consecutive Stevie Award wins, including Gold for Best Technical Support Solution and Bronze for the Customer Service Department of the Year.
Coachability Leads to Adaptability: Tangoe maintains an openness to learning and continually improving our software and services, connecting with clients to understand their needs — always meeting and exceeding expectations. We consistently pursue new customer use cases from expansions in our cloud product and service offerings to new automation features and capabilities for cost optimization. Consider our recognition as the “Best Cloud Management Solution of the Year” and our Mobile Device Management Innovation award.
Industry Intelligence Culminates in Unrivaled Excellence: While Olympic athletes must be keen in their sports intelligence, Tangoe has deep domain expertise. In managing more than $15B in tech spending on behalf of our clients (far more than our competitors), we are a company with undisputed market intelligence. This explains how and why we lead the industry with the most comprehensive suite of IT expense management solutions. Our offerings span the entire IT environment addressing telecom, mobile, and multi-cloud technologies.
As we watch Olympic athletes compete in the greatest competition on Earth, Tangoe – like all the people around the world — will be motivated and inspired to pursue our dreams and strive for excellence, always aiming to be “Citius, Altius, Fortius” (Latin for Faster, Higher, Stronger).
Let the Games Begin!
