Organic management systems

Ah, work sweet work

Run your organization using your own integrated software system. Engaging OS is our supple, layered, open-source architecture for managing anything — or everything — you do.

System-wide Benefits

From Metropolis (1927) by Fritz Lang

Realize the value of an integrated work system

User-centric design

Boost morale

Meet people’s expectations for fast, clear and functional systems developed to a consumer-grade level.

Automated workflows

Increase productivity

Liberate staffers from the struggle against the headwinds of a system not quite designed for the organization. Release them from the drudgery of repetitive, error-prone tasks that computers do better, such as manually entering data and copy/pasting it around siloed systems.

Unified data and processes

Improve decision-making

Inform managers’ decision-making with comprehensive, real-time views across departments, sometimes revealing surprising synergies.

Modern, web-based software stack

Encourage innovation

Unleash executive innovation by having a system that models the organization and can be easily modified and extended; rather than an impediment to progress, the organization’s management software becomes an accelerant.

Centralized information access

Strengthen key relationships

Please outsiders such as customers, suppliers, partners and regulatory bodies by giving them real-time access to the information they need — they too have vital roles in the system. Meanwhile, empower your various support, liaison and satisfaction teams to better assist them.

Engaging Stack (Nov 2024)

Your work system is powered by our open source enterprise engine Engaging OS, wherein the Nuxt web development framework uses GraphQL via Apollo to handle data served up by the Directus data platform accessing a PostgreSQL database.

Both Nuxt and Directus are developed using the Vue JavaScript framework and run in the Node environment.

All are served from Linode, recently acquired by Akamai, the large content delivery network whose customers include Apple.
