No-code config

7. How M&A Objects alter space-time

Code-level or engineering changes entail…

  • Long timeframes to implement, test, debug
  • Longer timeframes to resource engineers
  • Recompiling; rebooting / interrupting client
  • Forking into distinct or orphaned custom codebases
  • In practice, a small universe of opportunity for change
  • Relatively stagnant solutions
  • Multiple, poorly-maintained codebases

No-code M&A objects mean…

  • Very rapidly prototyped, tested & deployed
  • Easily and quickly resourced without engineers
  • No recompiling, rebooting, or interruptions
  • Every EKNOW system is on the same codebase
  • Much larger practical universe of opportunity
  • Constantly improving solutions
  • Battle-tested for an entire generation (over 25 yrs)
Strategic value
