Mission and Core Principles

MISSION
James W. Sewall Company was founded in 1880 as an independent professional consulting organization. Our mission remains constant: we succeed by providing the highest value service to our clients and best professional opportunities for our employees.

CORE PRINCIPLES
Project Integrity and Product Quality. We offer our clients project integrity through custody of project services, product control, and consistent quality end to end. We deliver products that have value beyond the immediate application. We think beyond individual project requirements to our clients’ long-term strategic goals, managing projects to maintain client relationships.

Strategic Thinking. We embed knowledge in our services. Our project management staff understands not only the technology that our clients require but also the business and government drivers that create these needs. We work closely with clients to educate them about project technology and to develop our own understanding of their applications. We help them think strategically and to use our products as strategic assets. Our guidance includes showing clients the benefits of exploring alternatives and using other vendors if they better meet our clients’ needs.

Teamwork. We build the best teams of knowledgeable people from technical and management staff. All staff understand the project as a whole and the value their work has in fulfilling client needs. They understand and are committed to the client and to the accuracy of our product. We use personnel resources wisely and with high expectations.

Open Communications. We communicate with our clients. We listen and are responsive to their concerns before and after project closure. We know where issues exist in time to resolve them and where our shared opportunities lie.

Ethical Practice. We strive to do it right the first time and to do the right thing, delivering products and services on schedule at a fair and reasonable price. As stewards of our clients’ initiatives, we provide high value service for long-term benefit rather than short-term gain. The essence of our contract is mutual trust.

Respect for Innovation. As a company built on the intelligence of its people, we are growing and expanding all the time. We continue to test and realize the potential of new technologies, of new applications of our data, and of innovative thinking. We are good at listening, learning, and adapting.
