Alfonso Díez at the 2nd Emerging Technologies Congress
Interview with Alfonso Díez, CEO of UGROUND, as a speaker at the “2nd Emerging Technologies Congress for 4.0 Technologies”.
“If emerging technologies are the fingers and hands, UGROUND is the nervous system.”
Alfonso Díez is the CEO and founder of UGROUND, one of the most disruptive companies in the Spanish technology landscape. His field of expertise is Semantic Engineering, a new discipline that replaces programming with the interpretation of human knowledge. Alfonso Díez will give a lecture on this topic on the 23rd at the Blue Cube. UGROUND is a sponsoring company of #Emergentes2018.
UGROUND is the new brand of a company founded in 2011, B2T Concept. It is now reinventing itself to grow internationally and become a leader in the Semantic Platforms segment. In 2017, the company experienced significant growth, with a 60% increase in revenue, and the outlook for 2018 is even better. They have also diversified into comprehensive digital transformation consulting and managed services.
What exactly does UGROUND do?
“We provide a technological platform that allows the implementation of any business solution without the need for programming. We have developed a new type of engineering called Semantic Engineering, which is based on the interpretation of human knowledge rather than programming. Our thesis is: instead of using knowledge about a business process to create programs, we create interpreters of that knowledge, which put the business process into operation without the need to write programs. The advantage of this approach is that it improves all key indicators at both the technology and business levels: it produces simpler and more operable technological architectures, eliminates technical and functional obsolescence, is much faster, has better total cost of ownership (TCO), is more flexible, scales better, is more robust, and has universal applicability.”
