May Wins

 

Dreams of the end of lockdown

The last two months have been wild ones for us at UniPhi. The beginning of April saw numerous staff run for the hills to long awaited travel holidays, as Covid lockdown ending freedoms finally kicked in. And of course, this happened at the same time as many others fell ill to this dreaded virus.

May has seen a continuation of this massive loss of people on the ground as a lovely flu to end all flus wiped out not only our systems architect but many others. Covid continued to have its say too with our CEO finally succumbing despite having dodged it from his OS travels two years earlier.

But, despite all this, we're proud of what we've achieved. UniPhi's software will go live in June as the core application for project controls on the Sydney Metro EDS. This has been a massive undertaking and we are delighted with the results. Hopefully, we will be able to share the outcome as the switch is flicked and over 100s of users start using the system in anger.

 

We have welcomed a host of new businesses onto the UniPhi platform over the past couple of months and are pleased to receive overwhelmingly positive feedback from the sponsors and end users. UniPhi is a very transformative product with one CEO once describing it like having a triple heart bypass with a lung replacement at the same time. Challenging to implement the change but once achieved the benefits are life changing.

Raj Deo joins us as our new COO

We also welcomed Raj Deo back into the business. Raj is an old colleague, who has returned from his sojourn into the corporate head office world, to bring his learned and wiser brain back into our business as chief operating officer. Welcome back Raj and thanks, you're already making a massive difference to the business.

UniPhi 18 is to be released on 15th August this year and our dev teams (the ones not in the Bahamas or on a sick bed) have been busily completing the key features of this release. The focus of 18 is on user experience with many existing screens being streamlined or removed to make it simpler to navigate and use our software. We will be posting more about this release over June and July on the blog.

Well, that's about it for this month. We've got plenty of news that couldn't quite make the deadline this time but we're looking forward to telling our community all about it in our "June Wins" post.
