Enjoy being home at work

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

Built in 1937 and considered Mr Wright’s first Usonian, it’s a low-cost yet fully integrated home in harmonious flow between inside and out — and an inspiration for the systems we build. Photo by James Steakley.

System-wide Benefits

From Metropolis (1927) by Fritz Lang

Realize the value of an integrated work system

User-centric design

Support morale

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

Automated workflows

Nurture productivity

Liberate staffers from the drudgery of repetitive, error-prone tasks that computers do better, such as manually shunting data around siloed systems.

Unified data and processes

Improve decision-making

Inform managers’ decision-making with comprehensive, real-time views across departments. Surprising synergies may be revealed.

Modern, web-based software stack

Encourage innovation

Unleash executive innovation by more easily modifying and extending the organization’s management system, which becomes not an impediment but 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 your wider community.

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.
