The systems approach in the Web
The "salvific" role of the new technologies
Most of the systems people are rather "old". These people are discouraged. Even in the universities the systems curricula is eventually in retreat. The same occurs in Applied Mathematics, Operations Research, Statistics and Physics. So many algorithms were transferred to computers that many young people disregard those systems thinking creative disciplines. Of course this is only a transient global phenomenon that need some time to stabilize again. In the interim, it is extremely unusual to make feasibility studies using systems and applied mathematics techniques and even more: they are considered technocratic obstacles that refrain the salvific growth!: paradoxically the doers hoist watchwords inducing technical people no to think to much! to avoid stopping the cyberspace rush..

The "young" people don't know too much about systems theory. In the last decade their intelligence was driven to the micro specialization. Too much venture money, young spirit and micro specialization fueled the Internet of today: charming, impressive, fast, friendly, increasingly interactive, scalable, open to anything but without a sound architecture.

The future that comes soon
Our firm has the exceptional opportunity to join in a team "old" and young people. As always the truth is in the middle of polar reasoning. We think that our niche will be transited soon for many people. Our strategic relative advantage will be being one of the first. Anyone with sound system knowledge and experience oriented to Internet could compete with us but it will take them some time.

In the interim this activity could be the seed of a firm that produce and sell "Intelligence". Our aim in the medium range is to become intelligence manufacturers. In the economic area a corporation like "The Economist" Group from UK is a manufacturer of Political and Economic Intelligence, paradoxically objectively synthesized from the Economic and Political World Public Opinion (massive subjective information). With our methodology is perfectly possible to synthesize intelligence from any kind of massive data and no doubt the intelligence will be the most valuable commodity in the near future.

As you may see all the Departments are closely related to the preceding and with the one that goes after. In this type of systems appear counteracting relations such as stimulations and inhibitions that must be considered. For instance, more computer power stimulates the Web traffic and empower graphics possibilities but complicates programming. But as to empower the Web, limits Graphics sophistication, we may conclude that computer empowerment could result in Web stimulation but demanding a simpler graphic approach.
