WHERE DOES THE NAME 'EMERGENT AUTOMATA' COME FROM?

'Emergent' in the context of complex systems relates to the developed output, based upon an array of ideas and concepts - for the customer, it is their developing or developed solution. 

​

'Automata' is the form, function and behaviour of previously uncorrolated inputs; something which was previously unknown and non-trivially predictable.  It arises due to the interaction of atomistic elements, as a robotics or systems solution does when multi-disciplinary domains are applied.

HOW DO I KNOW THAT EMERGENT AUTOMATA IS THE RIGHT CONSULTING COMPANY FOR ME?

Typical problems, barriers and failures with out-sourcing projects can include:

​

  1. The out-sourced company not understanding the requirements of the project (missing details in the delivered solution, a solution that just doesnt work - specificiation-writing failure or delivered-product failure, more work and cost needed).

  2. Where a problem is elusive/transient and there is difficulty in analysing and characterising its range. The scope relayed to the consultant is insufficient, not applicable or unncessisarily-complex to be of useful in its resolution and missing the required care, patience, lateral thinking and a creative-process centric mindset.

  3. Technical feasibility underestimated by  to inexperience.

  4. Change/creep of scope due to poor communication with the customer.

  5. Underestimation (usually gross) of time required by one or both parties due to inexperience..

  6. Development of solutiuon distracting to the out-source company/institution (especially with institutions).

  7. The company was just unable or unwilling to develiver what the customer wanted.


In summary, there is a disconnect between what the customer wants and what the out-sourced company provides. 

​

Emergent Automata understands these potential issues and works hard with the customer to deeply understand their requirements and provide a service and output that we would be happy to receive ourselves.
