Since its inception, VEGA has adopted a partnership approach to doing business. Today, partnership in VEGA means at least three things:
- Partnering with our clients, for long term mutual benefit
- Partnering in consortia to both win and deliver services
- Partnering with specialist suppliers to create innovative solutions
Clients
Over 25 years, VEGA has built up longstanding relationships with many of our clients, fulfilling contracts which span decades. Particularly in sections of the European Space Agency, Eumetsat, and the UK MOD, many VEGA staff are semi-permanently embedded at client sites, sharing a close working environment on a day to day basis. The understanding and respect this generates, facing opportunities and challenges together creates an entirely genuine and mutually beneficial partnership.

Specialist suppliers
We value our independence from system manufacturers and software houses very highly. It ensures that our advice is entirely impartial and focussed on the best interests of our clients. We recognise however, that there are many excellent products and services on the market, and we readily propose, integrate or partner with specialist suppliers, where their solutions deliver innovation and best value for our clients.
