Our values

At JAGGAER, our business is about people. Our products are built on intellectual property, but the real differentiator is the teams behind them — the way we collaborate, innovate, solve problems, and deliver for customers. TEAM gives us a common set of expectations for how we work together across products, cultures, and geographies.

Transparency – Openness Builds Trust

Candor strengthens relationships, speeds decision-making, and ensures problems are solved together—with customers, teammates, and partners.

Entrepreneurial Spirit – Own It, Drive It, Make It

A scrappy, customer-obsessed, problem-solving mindset is at the cornerstone of both organizational and personal growth.

Accountability – Thumbs In, Not Fingers Out

We take responsibility ourselves before pointing elsewhere.

Metrics-Driven Results – Outcomes Over Activities

Data and evidence guide our decisions, help us course-correct quickly, and ensure we’re delivering real impact.
