Our Mission and Core Values
At Nova Development our mission is to be the leading publisher of quality productivity software.
In order to achieve these goals, we have committed ourselves to a set of six core values that define the fundamental spirit and philosophy of the company and that underscore our sense of responsibility both to our partners and to end using consumers.
Quality: Nova Development is committed to developing and publishing the highest quality software products in their classes. We are not only consumed with product quality but are devoted to providing quality through knowledgeable and punctual service, both within the organization and to our customers.
Value: We publish software products that consistently exceed the expectations of their consumers. We do so by offering valuable features and content that exceed competitive standards and assure reliable, extended use. Our team members are devoted to providing value in all areas of the organization, and our reseller customers see us as valuable partners in aiding them to build their own businesses.
Innovation: We are industry leaders in the development of unique and imaginative software solutions. Our innovation extends to packaging and other communication with a determination to ensure that they are as imaginative as the software products which they describe.
Integrity: Nova Development is committed to ethics and honesty in all of our relationships and business dealings. We are respectful towards both customers and suppliers, respect intellectual property and hold ourselves to the industry’s highest moral standards.
Vision: We are market-driven. That means that we develop products that meet definitive market needs and seize known market opportunities. We believe that meeting expectations requires that we clearly and completely communicate our vision to others. This dictates extensive planning, whether we are developing a product, a marketing campaign or a new internal system.
Growth: Nova Development has defied industry trends by growing revenue virtually every year for two decades. Our growth is the product of both detail orientation and challenge. We value detailed data as a means of finding and exploiting opportunities. And we continually challenge ourselves to expand our abilities and our contributions. We believe that the company’s growth and the growth and professional development of our team members are tightly intertwined, and we celebrate growth and individual victories with gratitude.
