Our Philosophy
At Mariner, we believe our job goes beyond fulfilling requirements. We help clients actually understand what is possible through technology. We help them shape a solution that solves today's problems and also overcomes tomorrow's challenges. This, we believe, is our mission and our skill.

It Takes A Disciplined Approach

To achieve our mission, we take a systematic approach to every project. This approach always begins with face-to-face meetings, where we determine goals and milestones. Together, we develop a shared vision of the solution - the desired future state. From there, we take the following steps:

  • Document, articulate and validate our understanding of the business problem.
  • Apply our proven process to realize the vision and mitigate risks.
  • Maintain and maximize all communications channels - daily.
  • Realize the vision on time and within budget.

Our Process
The Ocracoke™ Process is an unusual name for a longstanding process. Mariner's proven process takes its name from the Ocracoke Lighthouse North Carolina's oldest operating lighthouse. The famous lighthouse serves as a beacon for sailors attempting to navigate the treacherous waters of the Outer Banks. This icon is the perfect symbol of our process, which guides our business and clients through the often risky journey of software development.

Our Values
"Employees offer a view into a company's values and commitment to service. With such wonderfully committed ones as Mariner's, I can see why your company is as successful as it is."
Another satisfied Mariner customer.
Proving our values are part of every project.
