about us
The Story Behind VIMM
At the heart of VIMM is a vision born out of necessity. Our journey started with a simple yet crucial goal: to produce engineering software that is both easy to use and affordable. We wanted to empower students and professionals by providing them with software that has a gentler learning curve than conventional black-box solutions.
We are advocates of the titular grey-box and clear-box approaches to computational software. Therefore, the formulae governing our mathematical models are accessible to users for transparency, deepening understanding, and fostering greater confidence in the calculations. Based in the Caribbean, we are committed to supporting micro, small and medium enterprises in developing countries by offering more cost-effective alternatives to major brands.
Our focus on math is about more than just calculations. We want to answer the age-old question that students often ask - "How will I use this in real life?" We believe in connecting theoretical learning with practical applications, making math not just a subject but a powerful and relevant tool in the real world.
The V8VE Brand
We are innovators in computation, administration and education. We brand our products as Very Innovative, stylistically abbreviated as V8VE, which is pronounced "-vative", due to the research and development process that guides them.
VIMM's Mission
We're on a mission to develop innovative, user-friendly, affordable software tools for civil engineering students and professionals. We also want to promote the importance of math as a life skill by showing its real-world applications.
VIMM's Vision
We aspire to be the top developer for easy-to-use engineering applications in the Caribbean. Additionally, we aim to be a leading educator, showcasing the practical uses of technical subjects, especially math, at all academic levels.
VIMM's Core Values
VIMM is led by worshippers of the Lord God Almighty, as spoken of in the Holy Bible, who are dedicated to fulfilling Colossians 3:23, 'Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters'. We value excellence, ease, efficiency and economy.
Excellence
Providing top-notch software tools, technical assistance and tutoring that meet and exceed our clients' expectations is the cornerstone of our business model.
Ease
We're committed to developing intuitive and user-friendly software with clear interfaces and helpful prompts that can be utilized without needing an instruction manual or video tutorial. Our teaching style also simplifies technical concepts for greater understanding.
Efficiency
Through research and development, we aim to use algorithms that reduce strain on your computer and require minimal input from you. Additionally, we continuously seek ways to optimize resource allocation and maximize our impact.
Economy
We develop computational and administrative tools to be more affordable and accessible to micro, small and medium enterprises than commercial specialized software. Our technical assistance and educational services are also tailored to provide our clients with unmatched value for money.
