Enterprise Transformation (ET) is a rapidly growing department responsible for new Enterprise Products, Data Science, Operations and Support for the Enterprise Products in our portfolio, and a Centre of Excellence that aims to make it easier, faster, and better to architect, build and test software.

We are an ambitious unit divided into
- functional product teams with a flat hierarchy and a mix of young and very experienced persons, who are working according to the following principles:

We celebrate victories together
We take responsibility for mistakes and learn from them
We design for scale but build only for the near future
We make decisions based on knowledge and insight rather than hierarchical structures
Decisions are the product of conversations between people with different competencies (not one person)
Everyone can speak their honest opinion

We try to bring all relevant competencies close to the development process including:

Product owner
Testers
Business analysts
Data scientists
