Our Commitment
Simalaya Consulting operates to the governance and ethical standards expected of a Swiss-incorporated firm serving enterprise clients in regulated industries. This is not a compliance exercise. It reflects the institutional standards that Seed4Equity, a Swiss technology investment group with ten portfolio companies and five successful exits, applies across its portfolio companies.
Business Ethics
Oracle Licence Position
We do not resell Oracle software licences or Oracle Cloud subscriptions. We are a professional services firm. We have no financial incentive from Oracle licence sales and no commercial reason to recommend configurations that benefit us at the expense of our clients.
Conflicts of Interest
We disclose any actual or potential conflict of interest to clients at the outset of an engagement. We do not accept commission, referral fees, or incentive payments from third parties in connection with client engagements without client knowledge and consent.
Transparent Pricing
Our engagements are priced transparently. Time and materials engagements are reported against actuals. Fixed-price engagements are governed by a defined change control process. Scope creep driven by our side is not charged.
Award and Credential Representation
The Oracle 2018 partner awards were earned by the AppsLink Oracle practice and are attributed accurately - as credentials of the team now delivering your programme, not independently claimed by Simalaya.
Regulatory Compliance
Data Protection
Simalaya Consulting processes personal data in accordance with GDPR (Switzerland / European operations) and the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) (UAE / Middle East operations). See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Anti-Bribery and Corruption
Simalaya Consulting has a zero-tolerance policy on bribery and corruption in all jurisdictions where we operate. We do not make or accept facilitation payments. Our compliance framework aligns to UK Bribery Act standards as a minimum.
Corporate Governance
Simalaya SA is a Swiss-incorporated company subject to Swiss corporate law. Financial reporting, ownership structures, and corporate decisions are governed by the requirements of Swiss company law and the oversight of Seed4Equity as institutional owner.
AML / KYC
We apply client due diligence processes appropriate to the regulated nature of many of our clients’ industries. We do not engage with clients who cannot demonstrate legitimate business operations.
Delivery Governance
Every Simalaya engagement operates under a formal governance framework defined at the outset and maintained throughout delivery. This includes:
