In business administration, it has been possible to establish management by processes and the accounting record of its transactions as two (2) fundamental principles or laws. If properly applied, they would allow the implementation and control of the management systems in each area, directed by their administrative manager as part of their planning work. The quality management and office software support engineers would install the core system and train, integrate and support. It could be implemented in parts, but it could be done simultaneously in many, because each one would work on their own without interfering with the others and the learning could be done online.
How did I arrive at this conviction? Studying the trauma to companies that the implementation of systems by external consultants causes, given that they must learn from internal experts, they adapt the systems to the requirements they deduce from this hasty learning and impose the modules to be implemented, often with failures of uncertain solution. The image of know-it-all consultants is nothing more than that: an image, they reserve knowledge of the system and only train users once it is implemented.
Companies must use their own resources to implement and maintain their management system in order to ensure autonomy, they cannot continue to depend on third parties for this, which is the backbone of the administration. It requires advanced software to achieve this, making that software available is our job.
In 1969 I was 19 years old when I entered the Colombian Ministry of Finance as a computer programmer (see certificate), I had advanced 2 years of Engineering at the National University in Bogotá (see certificate) when I was declared fit by IBM to develop software and I received the training. The Ministry of Finance was for me an excellent basic Cobol programming school.
At the age of 21, Top Managment, a recruitment company of Arthur Young & Company integrated today into Ernest & Young, linked me to the nascent Pavco S.A. in its first headquarters south of Bogotá. With Arthur Young's advice we developed a Sales and Production Management System, in Cobol language, which served as one of the bases for the exponential growth of the Company until it became a multinational. Pavco was for me the University that specialized in business management, including the production process of vinyl floors, plastic pipes and nylon and polypropylene mats. I had great Teachers: Edmundo Ezquenaci, Jimmy and Charlie Meyer, Gustavo and Eugenio Ángel, Adolfo Di Capua and Arthur Young's advisers, among others.
A well-deserved rest in the flat lands where my ancestors came from led me to a new passion: the countryside, the savannas and the jungles of Colombia.
As an independent developer for companies in Colombia and Venezuela, I managed to save enough to partially finance a colonization of Guaviare with peasants displaced by the violence of Magdalena Medio, we managed to help create 2 villages, Las Delicias and Las Brisas, on the edge of the now famous reserve natural and archaeological site of La Lindosa. I was notified by Voz del Guaviare if one of my Clients required my services and flew to attend to him, until the war displaced us in 1991 (see article).
Back in Bogotá we continued with SoftCol Ltda., A company that we founded in the 1980s with several colleagues. Among other tasks, we help more than 40 companies to brand new Olivetti minicomputers with Basic language and floppy disks, predecessors of the PC. We systematize from warehouses, small factories, multi-asset cooperatives, tourist and cargo brokers, insurance and real estate brokers and an Italian insurance company. Official companies such as the government of Cundinamarca and the Revolving Fund of the National Police. In Access and Visual Basic I developed the Payroll for ElectroCordoba employees, workers and pensioners.
It was necessary for us to create a product program to be able to compete with the large international software houses, but despite making considerable progress in the development of a system based on Unix and C language, and to implement the model at Casa Mettler (see image of the certificate see text of the certificate), we could not make mass implementations and we broke.
In order to continue developing software, I created companies such as a community housing association and its construction company and I systematized them with Access. I investigated agile tools to develop web software, such as CodeCharge Studio, with which I developed a software for management of educational institutions, implemented in Maicao, Guajira, and a management of support for refugees in Venezuela, among others. I made an attempt to return to the countryside near Tayrona Park, wanting to retire, but the subcommanders of the capo Hernán Giraldo displaced me (see article) I think because I found out the new dispossession of the peasants under the protection of the consolidation zones of Plan Colombia ; territorial control is still exercised by this mafia and is preparing the return of its leader after paying an extradited sentence in the US. The Victims Unit investigated and found a study confirming the fact (see certificate) 2015 again in Bogotá.
2019, 50 years of professional practice, and I continue to develop Software.
To the point, I present the design of the Intelligent Business Management System, it is ready to program, so I am forming 2 teams: development and subsequent maintenance and complementary expert system to achieve the implementation or mass migration:
Design of the Intelligent Business Management System
Design of the programming of the Intelligent Business Management System
The most used development tools in the world are simplified, overcoming excessive and wasteful schemes, increasing productivity and effectiveness: Language selected for the development of SISGEI: JavaScript with Node.js and some Node Package Manager (npm) packages to speed up and standardize. IDE (Integrated Development Environment): Visual Studio Community released by Microsoft for open source people. SeeIDE started to test the SISGEI database.
Cordially,
Hernan Pardo Silva
