We are following a technological race, in which industries must offer increasingly innovative products while striving to remain competitive in their markets, reducing costs and increasing the performance of their operations. In this context, software solutions are driven to constantly evolve, incorporating new technologies and resources with the objective of obtaining and maintaining the highest possible performance in processes within companies.
But technology is not an end, and the overall functionality of the software cannot be overlooked. Real gain is often not achieved, because at some point the flow is broken, either in a complex process that ends up being manual or becoming a spreadsheet, or in important data that remains informal, making everything that was built around it inefficient. This increases the challenge, as it requires the software to become increasingly specialized to evolve effectively.
Our systems are changing
Our systems are changing. And we're not just talking about new architecture or new programming languages for the web, but about the integration of modern technological resources with the functionalities we deliver, and that generate real value to our clients. Not just rewriting, but rethinking. Can we improve how this process is solved, automate, and make life easier for the user? We are dedicating our efforts and all our knowledge to meet these challenges up to the task, and to be able to deliver an updated solution, while continuing to evolve each functionality of our systems.
Everything new must now be ready for integration, such as providing APIs and mapping all the events that will be available to be captured by webhooks. Here we don't just talk about systems and applications, but about services, machines, devices, and automations. With more and more options, including or replacing one of these components should not represent rework or new customizations. And even though industry 4.0 has been talked about for a long time, in many cases this is still far from being a reality, sometimes due to old and closed equipment or programs, or even because of the cost and complexity of these integrations. This ability to capture software events also aims to meet another movement, in which companies must constantly specify rules that are important to their business and that affect the execution of processes within the systems.
Another major challenge is to take advantage of the exponential increase in the set of data that we have available, inside and outside the companies' databases. Machines and processes are increasingly connected, generating an immense volume of information, in a continuous and valuable way. That is why we are increasingly making available indicators native to the system and which already bring with them expertise, making life easier for managers, all within an integrated and customizable dashboard tool, both by consultants and users. These same indicators and goals can also generate events and automatically notify the users involved in each process, either within the software or even through WhastApp, allowing them to be applied to practical actions and generating a cycle of continuous improvement. With this, we added more intelligence to Smartflow, the workflow tool for automating processes, which is already part of our solution package.
Mobility and dynamics
Today, with mobility and business dynamics, ERP can no longer be trapped inside factory walls. It needs to run on any device and anywhere. However, even the world's largest technology companies deal with the risk of server intrusions and breaches of sensitive information. This scenario implies continuous improvement of security, an essential measure that requires constant dedication. Everything to ensure that our clients' data and business are secure.
The future is challenging, but working to continue delivering the best results and solutions for our clients, using all our experience, drives us forcefully forward. Always evolving.
Thank you, and even more.
