Coronavirus? Work from Home

But are your ERP, CRM, BI, HR systems, spreadsheets… up to the task?

In most cases, they are not. It’s practically impossible using 20th-century technologies—they weren’t designed for it. Five-year plans once gave us a false sense of control that is now impossible to maintain in such a rapidly changing world.

At UGROUND, it took us just a couple of hours to have all our support resources and client systems ready so that all our employees could work online from home.

All employees can work remotely and serve clients, with full access to all systems, without leaving their homes—while giving the company control over ongoing activity. Something that can only be done properly with no-code technology designed for this century.

It’s in these extreme circumstances that the real difference becomes clear—between systems evolved from the 20th century and complete 21st-century solutions.

We all hope the Coronavirus (COVID-19) alert can be overcome soon, before it turns into a global pandemic that undermines what little growth the world’s economies still have.

We continue to apply 20th-century sequential policies in a 21st-century exponential environment, which prevents us from being prepared for situations that were never anticipated in our outdated roadmaps.

The 21st century, global and exponential, demands the ability to manage any chaos that arises from a pandemic or a Black Swan event quickly. Our systems must be capable of rapid reactions—ideally within hours—and able to reinvent themselves around new needs emerging from an unforeseen chaotic environment.

It is almost impossible—given the slowness, unreliability, and cost—to implement modern business management policies using systems programmed line by line or based on code-dependent improvements, which once again add complications when quick reactions or new business models are needed.

Semantic Engineering helps us design highly complex systems with rapid implementation and total flexibility.
