Everyone is a builder now

In times of crisis, having a quick and effective tool to manage employee communications is crucial. A company that previously spent $60,000 annually on a third-party tool for this purpose found it inadequate. Instead, a team member used open-source code and internal data to build a better solution in just three hours and 17 minutes for a fraction of the cost—just $216. This shift underscores a broader trend where in-house innovation and accessible coding tools are revolutionizing how organizations respond to emergencies, highlighting the potential for rapid, cost-effective problem-solving.
