Ubiquiti Inc. http://www.ubiquiti.com Decision Support with Text Thu, 31 Dec 2009 15:06:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 en hourly 1 Our last posting for Year 2009 http://www.ubiquiti.com/blog/our-last-posting-for-year-2009/ http://www.ubiquiti.com/blog/our-last-posting-for-year-2009/#comments Thu, 31 Dec 2009 15:06:03 +0000 Ubiquiti http://www.ubiquiti.com/?p=695 Looking back at the events for this year, we also realized that we have been in business for almost a decade now. And it came to our collective minds that:

Ubiquiti is NOT SAP, IBM, or SAS

Ubiquiti does not provide hardware or IT personnel
(we work with your existing infrastructure and people)

Ubiquiti does not propose massive multi-$M projects
(but we guarantee a solution, provided you are willing to spend less)

Ubiquiti does not work on projects taking many years to complete
(but we do provide guaranteed software within a few weeks)

Ubiquiti does not profit by contracting highly paid consultants
(but we get paid when our solution works for our customer)

Ubiquiti does not provide complex escalating tech support
(instead, we do ensure less than 24-hour turnaround times)

Ubiquiti has not had occasion to learn from failed projects
(since, during its decade, it has had 100% client satisfaction)

Ubiquiti does not provide selective customer references
(you can ask any of our many enthusiastic clients)

Often, this takes surprisingly long, since one must set up various filters, and then wait for data to download. However, it is quite easy to use “macro” software to automate such downloads (and several Ubiquiti customers have been doing this successfully). And the macro software packages cost as low as under $50 one-time (and usually only a single install is needed). This also centralizes the data acquisition (which may save money in terms of the needed licenses, in case the data providers charge for access to their data). The effort to set up and maintain such software is relatively small (more so when one considers the alternative manual effort needed), and Ubiquiti has helped some of our customers do so. It is somewhat surprising that even with these options available, many organizations still expend time & energies in downloading data manually, instead of automating most of this effort – perhaps our readers have insight into why this may be so?

This is particularly so given that the Web tends to amplify comments, especially for any negative comments which tend to persist. With many freely available forums, chat venues and blogs (including this one, perhaps), having an automated means to track and assess customer viewpoints is useful. As usual, Ubiquiti has found a rather contrarian approach to this effort: involving the comment-providers to be engaged in helping with the sentiment extraction and analysis, as depicted in the presentation (user needs to be logged in to access).

The organizations represented included the OEMs (Chrysler, GM, Ford, Navistar, John Deere), the Suppliers (Autoliv, Continental Corp., Yazaki, Magna Int’l, Federal-Mogul, Visteon, Dura Auto, Freudenberg-NOK, SMR Reflectec), our software tech partner (HCL America), the US Army TARDEC/TACOM, and some consulting companies.

Presentations were made on some newer Ubiquiti technologies, but Continental Corp. did not make a presentation as planned earlier (due to corporate-level considerations). Our new software tech partner, HCL America made a presentation on their Warranty Solution. Perhaps most notably, this time round, there was a significant level of participant interaction, and thoughts were freely exchanged. Some points that we were able to pick up included the following:


- Suppliers are requesting more data from OEMs, since there is greater expectation in joint resolution of issues identified.

- The number of parts of an organization affected by repairs and warranty processes is surprisingly large (eg, Engineering, Quality, Financial, Sales & Marketing etc.).

- Ubiquiti customers are generally happy with our Analytics software (and that’s good, of course).

- Ubiquiti Diagnostics software needs to take into account Fixes in-place (eg, in new Model Years etc.), and bias results based on these fixes. Also, process-related aspects need to be considered in Diagnostics, since they represent significant challenges & opportunities.

- At least three organizations (two Suppliers and one OEM) indicated an interest in Ubiquiti’s Trial/Demo and Limited-Feature software for use (and interested groups are requested to check back for an announcement here about availability and other details within 1-2 weeks).

We may have missed some important points in the above, and do feel free to post them on this forum. Thanks to all participants, and Ubiquiti looks forward to our next Meeting (which will be in Yr. 2010).
