As we reflect on the year, we present 7 incredible facts about AOByte.
Fact #1
AOByte recently marked its 7th anniversary. Back in 2016, when the company began, it had only a few team members. Today, the team has expanded about tenfold. By the way, their very first team member is still working in the company. Additionally, over these seven years, AOByte has accomplished more than 20 projects, and they’re proud to have had many pioneering customers partnering with AOByte till now.
Fact #2
When picking the organization’s name, they wanted something distinct that combined color and the word “Byte.” “AO” is a Japanese word for the blue-green color, which also became the inspiration for AOByte’s brand colors. In Japan, you’ll find that green traffic lights are called “ao shingō” (青信号), and when describing the blue sky, the Japanese use the term “aozora” (青空). Interestingly, the Japanese language also uses “Midori” (緑) for green, along with “AO.” However, it was only after World War II that educational materials began to distinguish green and blue.
Fact #3
In the seven years of AOByte’s existence, they’ve built long-term relationships with their partners. AOByte has many customers with whom they’ve worked from the very start of the company. Together, they’ve improved their products and added several features to them. By developing large-scale projects for their partners in Fintech, InsurTech, the Healthcare sector, and other industries, AOByte has enabled them to achieve remarkable success through high-level digital transformation. The evolution of the initial collaborations with their customers into long-term partnerships stands as a strong testament to the mutual trust they’ve mutually built over time.
Fact #4
One of the reasons people at AOByte are proud of is their team’s dedication to maintaining high code quality. Everyone on the team believes that exceptional code quality is key. It determines the success of their work, projects, and the company on a large scale. Therefore, every piece of code is reviewed by the teammates. These code reviews serve two purposes: they enhance the quality of the code and offer the team members an extra opportunity to improve their skills.
Fact #5
3 years in a row, 1853 applicants in total, and 8 interns joining the team through the internship program! This has become one of the greatest initiatives they have had in the company, shaping a unique culture of learning, growing, and integrating new teammates. In other words, the internship not only offers newcomers in the industry a chance to learn and gain practical experience but also an opportunity to become a part of AOByte’s team if they show the best of their abilities. As a result, the company has welcomed 8 team members who joined AOByte through the internship program over the past 3 years.
Fact #6
Making friends at AOByte is as natural as the regular team gatherings. What’s truly special is that these friendships extend beyond their office walls. The teammates don’t just meet up in Yerevan and Armenia; they also become travel companions in other countries. The fact that they find lifelong friends within the company speaks volumes about the atmosphere and environment they’ve all created there.
Fact #7
