The ring of the symbol mark of the new company symbolizes the consolidation of our digital core strategy and the letter “O,” the initial for “ONE.” This ring, which depending on the rotation, can appear as a full circle (like the number zero) or a straight line (like the number one), is like a digital signal that goes back and forth between 0 and 1. The ring is drawn at an angle where it is neither a 0 or 1, to express the unquantifiable potential of digital technology. This symbol mark represents our commitment to resolving issues using data by working earnestly alongside our clients with passion and compassion.
