At Aluma, we all share four fundamental values. They form the roots of our company culture:
Whatever we do is intended to improve people’s lives, whether it’s the products we create or the way we work together and with our partners.
It is in our nature to innovate, both in driving our field forward and through applying that cutting-edge knowledge where it will have the most real-world impact.
We strive to be ethical, honest, fair, and transparent in everything we do. We recognize the unique value and creative potential in everyone.
We aim for balance in all that we do by proactively enabling a better work / life balance and optimizing our products through balancing the latest technology with pragmatic techniques.
Aluma was founded in 2009, originally as Focal Point Software, by George and Nidal, whose experience in the document capture industry had given them a passion for the applications of document automation, and a strong desire to introduce a new generation of technology with a focus on ease of adoption. Industry partnerships quickly led to the software being deployed in government systems, hospitals and other organisations worldwide. We deployed the first cloud service version in 2015, and have since continued to grow the company and evolve the service to keep pace with the latest technology.
We are a world-class team with deep technical and market experience in advanced document processing. We’re disruptive, innovative, curious, and mature in our capabilities.
George is a serial entrepreneur and an expert in machine learning and pattern recognition. Since earning his PhD from Cambridge University in the mid 90s, he has been applying these skills to document automation, and has played a prominent role in the development of multiple industry-leading products in this field. When not immersed in business or technology, he enjoys spending time sailing with his family and friends.
An engineer by training, an entrepreneur by nature, Nidal is passionate about working with and bringing together talented people and cutting-edge technologies to address real world challenges. He loves helping deliver innovative products and solutions to the market by drawing on many years of hands-on experience in the document automation space. In his free time, if an activity involves the outdoors, count him in.
