This is how we do things
A simple in house platform to show our staff how we do things.
Artificial Intellegince is not allowed here. This is by and for our human workforce. Bots are not allowed.
Why now
This (.is .how. .we .do .things) has a history.
In 2015 I had the idea to create a Standard Operating Procedure platform as an integrated management system. It was called Backbone.ms. Good idea. To integrate ISO-9001:2015 with ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. The perfect combination of a triple bottemline management system.
It lacked proper execution. The problem? I was not ready to run a multimillion dollar business. Because such a SaaS has tremendous potential. I wanted a lyfestyle business. So I pulled the plug.
The idea is worth nothing. The execution is what counts.
Also, at that time I did not have a proper use case or own internal use for such a platform. Today, ten years later, I find myself heading an international marketing agency with several ongoing projects.
Now I do have a use case. Multiple.
Frustration
I kept the idea for a such a platform. I know several similar platforms are out there. I also know many companies use Google Drive, Dropbox or Onedrive to share processes. Myself I tried setting up a system with Notion.
Before I finished to get it really working for my agency, I hit the pay wall. End of trial. Too many ‘blocks’ created. Logically, I deleted blocks I did not need, but I kept stuck in the upgrade mode. Having to pay 10 USD per user per month… I tried to contact customer service. Gues what? A chat bot. I am so done with AI chat bots.
I made a discission.
I am going to build this SaaS tool myself. I know how to do it. For my own use cases this is worth it. This multisite set up with subdomains I created in under one hour. (That is 43 years… and one hour).
This is how we do things tihwdt.com is for now only available for my own projects. One day. When I am ready to run a multi million dollar business. We may take this public. For now tihwdt is our little secret.
