Our name pulls from the ancient Greek theatre. “Deus ex machina” – latin for “God out of the machine” – in Greek tragedy refers to the device by which actors impersonating gods were suspended above the stage, ready to be dropped into the scene to solve a complex and otherwise standstill situation arising from humans’ conflicting purposes. We saw the analogy between Greek theatre and IT consulting, where the computer (or the technology) and independent IT professionals, thinking out-of-the-box, are usually in a privileged position to address a specific need. As we are not gods, of course, we took the word Deus away… et voilà! The journey began.
