Trudi Schifter, founder of The Water Network , in talk with the Discover Germany Magazine, describes her experience of helping complex business ecosystem with a smart and intelligent knowledge platform
The interview starts with the introduction of Zurich-based start-up Tallyfox Social Technologies AG which offers a cloud-hosted Business Ecosystem Platform to help businesses share knowledge and work smarter. Here, founder and chairwoman Trudi Schifter explains why this is the future.
“My background is a mix of technology, community service and volunteering,” she explains.“When I look at the world today through this lens, I see complex business ecosystems that are facing massive challenges that not any one of the stakeholders have the resources or the ability to solve. Whether that’s the government, businesses, academia or organisations like the United Nations. But when I talk to the professionals in various sectors, each individual is passionate about wanting to do something to help.”
The experienced venture capitalist and entrepreneur adds that the original promise of the Internet was neither Facebook nor shopping websites, but to build a better future by leveraging our collective intelligence. Realising the potential behind sharing knowledge via open core technologies, TallyFox was born. Ever since then, Schifter’s enterprise has been changing the business world, for example by solving the worldwide water crisis with AquaSPE.
As a Swiss company, TallyFox knows about the diversity of clients and can easily adapt platform widgets to specific language requirements.“For example to Queens English,” the American smiles. “Furthermore, we take data security seriously, none of your data is stored in a public cloud or in any US domicile. Instead, we use a highly secure private cloud, with extra-high security back-up in the famous Swiss Fort Knox for data.”
