معرفی باگلوس
داستان تأسیس مجموعه باگلوس به تابستان ۲۰۰۶ برمیگردد. باگلوس که چه در ریشه معنایی (در زبان هلندی) و چه در رویکرد خود بر ارائهی بهترین کیفیت تأکید دارد، فعالیت خود را در حوزه طراحی وب سایت، وب اپلیکیشن، موبایل اپلیکیشن و مشاوره حوزه فناوری اطلاعات آغاز کرده است. نخستین دفتر ما در هلند افتتاح شد و تمرکز اصلیمان نیز بازارهای اروپایی بوده است. هرچند که مشتریان ما از آمریکا و کانادا نیز هستند. ما همیشه به دانش و تلاش هموطنانمان در داخل و خارج از ایران باور داشتیم و به همین دلیل در سال ۲۰۱۵ تصمیم گرفتیم که دفتر تهران را نیز تأسیس کنیم، اما افتتاح دفتر فقط بخشی از ایدهآل و هدف نهایی باگلوس است. ما میخواهیم همکاری با ایرانیان را در سراسر دنیا گسترش دهیم و جامعهای تشکیل دهیم از هموطنان توانمندان و کسانی که به ایران و فرهنگ اصیل آن ارزش و احترام ویژهای قائل هستند؛ عزیزانی که به اعتقاد ما سرمایه اجتماعیِ ایران هستند. یکی دیگر از مهمترین دلیل ورود باگلوس به ایران اعتقاد به دانش، سختکوشی و پویایی فکری هموطنانمان بود و ما فقط تلاش کردیم که بتوانیم فضا و بستری فراهم آوریم که ارزشهای حرفهای یک شرکت مدرن همچون خلاقیت، کیفیت، نظم، ارتباط دوستانه، مسئولیتپذیری و پیشرفت را بهطور واقعی اجرا کنیم. خوشبختانه هنگامی که به مسیرمان نگاه میکنیم، درمییابیم که با وجود روزهای سخت، دستاوردها و نتایج ارزشمندی را به ارمغان آوردهایم. این اتفاق بهواسطهی همراهی همکاران و همراهانمان حاصل شده است. با این وجود، مسیر موفقیت یک مسیر جمعی و در حال حرکت است؛ از این رو، شما را دعوت میکنیم که در این مسیر همراه ما و به بیان دیگری، خودتان بخشی از مجموعهی باگلوس باشید.
