CTO’s Address

Happy 4th Anniversary, El Pando!

 

On the past one year

 

The past 1-2 years had been very challenging for most companies. I had seen businesses struggling to keep afloat amidst the Covid-19 period, and I must say that we are very fortunate to not only make it through, but also continue to grow and be profitable.

 

We had moved out of our warehouse office and into a new and bigger office at 16 Shaw Road during February 2021. A few of our big projects had gone live in the past Financial Year, and we are beginning the next phases of these projects now. There are also a few upcoming new projects which will stretch across into 2022.

 

On giving back

 

One of our core values is Compassion. We aim to create a better world by constantly creating useful solutions, giving back to the society, and helping the less fortunate. Hereby, as the CTO of El Pando, I pledged that we will consistently donate to selected charity organizations on this day every year.

 

This year, we are happy to donate a humble portion of our profit to the following charitable organizations:

  • Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA)
  • The Salvation Army
  • ACRES
  • Bright Vision Hospital


Every year, we shall aim to expand the list of charitable organizations that we donate to, as well as the amount of donations to each of the organizations.

 

On the plans for next FY

 

For the past few years, we have managed to establish ourselves as the trusted bespoke software vendor in the Government, Academic and Healthcare sectors. We will continue to strengthen our track records in those sectors while aiming to expand our influence into other sectors.

 

We shall continue to expand the capabilities of our proprietary Pando Framework as it is an invaluable technological asset. We also aim to launch a new software-as-a-service (SAAS) platform before the next FY ends.

 

There are also plans to expand our team in the roadmap of the upcoming financial year.

 

Ending Notes

 

We are still a young company, and we will face a lot of uncertainties in the future. I would like to thank our clients for placing their trust in such a young company. We will continue to go from strength to strength to build a resilient, technologically strong and socially responsible software house.
