MOONWALKER'S LANDING PAGE

Nowadays companies define roles and do hiring for that roles. This is the standard way and anything else it is considered a luxury. Developing team and skills are seen as a high and avoidable costs. Is it right?

What about selecting technologies and bending roles to quickly qualify people in order to keep as many as possible of them in your team along the years? It is a feasible and convenient way because loyalty is a very valuable asset. Moreover, people accustomed to learn and switching roles are much keen to develop motivation, lateral thinking and being creative.

All this stuff would not be found or learnt by books.

Moonwalker's management rely over 15 years of software developing, system architecture design, local, remote and distributed system administration.

Such expertise has been matured among several companies of any size and along many projects. From small embedded systems for industrial and automotive, up to HPC cluster for banking and finance simulation.

Company internal organisation and size of IT projects matters as much as technologies used. It is not only a matter of budget, methodologies, tools and number of people involved. What really matters is being able to achieve goals within the deadlines and avoid buggy solutions arrive in production where they could harm clients and hurt company reputation.

OpenSource ecosystem for its variety and diversity, for its world-wide multi-cultural consent-driven environment revealed to be a huge professional opportunity to develop cross-roles set of skills which are those fill the gaps when times get hard.

Accessing to an immensely huge OpenSource software pools brings the advantage to quickly develop innovative solutions which could compete with well established concurrent alternatives or even change the game completely.

However copylefted contents need to be properly managed by the technical staff in order to correctly encapsulating components also by licenses terms. Not any company wishes to face a long-lasting litigation based on messing up with copylefted source code. Being proactive is always a good attitude.

Moreover a proper mix of copyright, copyleft and patented or patentable technologies can leverage the best of the two worlds. Lawyers are very professional, precise and necessarily highly expensive. Being able since the beginning to discriminate valuable IT components to protect and others not, is a great advantage.

Innovation is about novelty like copyright and patents are. Protecting everything just in case, it is another standard way reserved to deep pockets companies.

Even when innovation is about technology only, it affects all the value chain. It changes rules, thus it affects the supply-chain and the marketing & sales, as well. Discoveries may happen by random chance. Today we have better ways to approach innovation in a more structured and methodological ways.

Innovation affects the business model. It requires a business plan and strategic analysis of all opportunities and threats, risks and gains. However, standard rules for standard business may not work out for innovation. Standard management models were not optimized for innovation but for short-middle terms goals. Otherwise, every company would be good at innovation.

People are central in innovation, definitively. The management, the staff, target clients and the whole society, as well. An augmented reality glasses that make users fooled by passing-by people have no future for mass market. Is it right?

User experience, adoption curve, producing and selling rates, pricing strategy and marketing something never existed before, etc. All these challenges require that a lot of different roles will be involved and they should work at the same project as a whole enthusiastic team. Many divergent perspectives and different micro-languages should be integrated smoothly in a free-speaking, creative, mistake tolerant, open-minded, multi-cultural working environment.

Worried about innovation? No risk, no fun. Let us to help you to take it easy.
