Our Capability Statement

We are a passionate advocate for diversity in technology. Prejudice against anyone on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, orientation, ability, or even academic background not only limits our individual growth but also limits the creative energy necessary to develop the best software.
Vidya was a strategic partner and collaborator during the proposal phase and a sought-after facilitator during program delivery. They explained the most complicated aspects of agile development, software engineering, and DevOps with clarity and humor that enabled our non-technical program participants (and me!) to gain the understanding they needed to more effectively engage with digital service practitioners. I highly recommend them.
If you are looking to accelerate your transition to a modernized, serverless architecture, you cannot find a better partner than Vidya. Their team really understands what the current technology climate is so as to bring us the best of breed solutions.
Certifications
Government and industry recognize Vidya as a small business that brings big value to anyone excited about leveraging technology to do great things.
Our name
Vidya comes from the Sanskrit for “right knowledge” or “clarity.” We want to embody the learning spirit that is the essence of the word. In software engineering, you learn every day–not only about all the technologies out there and the new ones emerging every day but also about people and what they want to accomplish. We want to work with you to build knowledge and learn from each other.
The Vidya swan
Vidya is associated with the Hindu deity Saraswati because she is the Goddess of Learning. In ancient Indian art and literature, she is often depicted wearing a spotless white sari and riding a white swan.
We just hope you like the swan more than Billy Madison.
