Engineering Solutions for Better Companies

NY Weekly Staff on March 8, 2023

Engineering is one of those fields that can seem precise, mathematical, and even cold, but Ultimus Engineering is a company doing its best to change that perception in the minds of its clients. 

“We believe that engineering work doesn’t have to be transactional,” says the company’s Director of Business Development and Engineering, Daniel McCaulley. “We build relationships with our customers. One-on-one personal interaction enables us to create an environment of trust and form long-lasting partnerships. At Ultimus Engineering, we want to do more than just complete your project. We want to see your business flourish, grow, and achieve success. Whether your project is large or small, we guarantee to treat it with our utmost rigor and passion. That is how we accomplish our mission of creating solutions that build better companies.”

Working with customers to find better engineering Solutions

Ultimus Engineering is a top-notch team of engineers and designers who work together with their clients to solve problems. They use top-of-the-line software to create models that help clients make better decisions, and they stay with clients long after the project’s completion. Their goal is to make sure that every solution they provide is tailored specifically to clients’ individual needs by listening and planning accordingly with custom drafting, engineering, and consultation services.

“Our engineering solutions help clients improve their companies,” McCaulley remarks. “We offer innovative design and drafting solutions along with tested, engineered solutions that have been proven to work time and time again. Our expertise in this field means you can trust us to deliver the best results for your business needs.”

Ultimus Engineering has experience serving its clients in numerous vertical markets, from oil and gas to construction, agriculture, consumer goods, and everything in between. Despite the diversity found among its customers, the company is able to focus its services on three pillars of business: design and drafting, engineered solutions, and consultative services. “Our design and drafting teams help move your ideas from concepts to visualizations to tangible assets,” McCaulley says.

 

Drafting services

The drafting team at Ultimus Engineering works with their clients to arrive at technical drawings communicating the necessary ideas and information to get projects off the ground. These technical drawings of objects, parts, and equipment are an essential step in the engineering process. During the design process, the company’s attention to detail ensures that clients come away with efficient, effective, and safe final products.

The drafting team also takes care to ensure that every final product is aesthetically pleasing. While drafting projects, engineers must take into account parameters such as cost efficiency, ease of manufacture, and assembly. At the same time, they must call upon their artistic sensibilities to create designs that meet their clients’ needs. 

The design phase of an engineering project involves complex and labor-intensive steps ranging from conceptualization, schematic design, detailed design, fabrication drawings, and construction documents. When designing and drafting for its clients, Ultimus Engineering utilizes state-of-the-art CAD software and the most up-to-date modeling techniques. This cutting-edge technology provides clients services in 3D visualization, concept modeling, 3D printing, fabrication drawings, assembly prints, and piping and instrumentation diagrams.

After this stage, the company’s engineered solutions teams collaborate with clients to take the hard projects and make them easy. The team is able to offer analysis and in-depth engineering reviews of structural plans, pressure vessels, thermal systems, failure inspections, and design projects requiring finite element analysis.

 

Consultation services

Consultation services are an essential part of the engineering industry, allowing engineers to offer advice and guidance to their clients and helping them make better decisions about their products. Consultation services are the best means for a company to ensure that it is getting the best possible value from its engineers. 

“Consulting allows you to gather information about your business environment and helps you identify opportunities for improvement,” explains McCaulley. “It ensures that your product development process remains efficient and cost-effective at all times. By consulting with us before starting a project, you will gain valuable insight and avoid wasting time or money when developing new products or updating existing ones.”

Ultimus Engineering’s consultation services team works hand-in-hand with clients to turn their plans into reality. The team provides full lifecycle product development, Greenfield ventures/ideas, process improvements, project management, and engineering leadership workshops.

Throughout every stage of the project, Ultimus Engineering builds relationships with its clients. By collaborating closely during design and drafting, engineered solutions, and consultation services, the team comes away with engineering solutions that help clients improve the quality of their companies.

“Ultimus Engineering was founded in 2021 as a family-owned and faith-based business,” McCaulley recalls. “Our company values are accountability, competence, faith, respect, time, and trust. We form ongoing relationships with our customers and offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. We do this by offering flexible and affordable engineering solutions and allowing you to get exactly what you need. We’re better, faster, and less expensive than our competitors.”

Tips for When You’re Bored at Work

NY Weekly Staff on March 8, 2023

Unfortunately, there tends to come a point in an employee’s career when they begin to feel bored by their daily duties. Although some occupations are less prone to this than others, almost everyone has a day that gets boring here and there. But when this dullness becomes persistent, it can become a big problem.

Experts and business leaders have extensively studied the harmful consequences of getting bored at work. Studies have shown that chronic boredom in the workplace has been linked to an increased turnover rate, as well as poor self-rated health and stress symptoms. This boredom can be caused by many factors — from a demoralizing work environment to a prolonged feeling of being under-challenged by one’s role. Whatever the cause, it is important that employees find a way to combat this boredom before it affects their performance and morale.

Many employees find that asking for more responsibilities is a great first step to keeping themselves engaged in the workplace if they find themselves under-challenged. However, asking for this added responsibility can be a challenge in itself.

Jessica Vann, CEO and founder of Maven Recruiting Group, says the key to successfully asking for more responsibility in the workplace is to find a way to create value for the organization.

Finding where to take on extra responsibility

According to Vann, one great strategy to determine where those extra responsibilities can be added is to “be the detective.” She suggests that “the onus is on the worker to  identify the problems that need fixing and solving in the organization. Simply asking for more work actually creates more work for your manager. Suggesting additional work is another story entirely and will be better received.”.

“All employees have a unique perspective on the organization,” says Vann. “Each one has a front-row seat of where and how they can step up, where the organization is lacking resources and support, and what roles aren’t built out yet. Use this perspective to your advantage. It will allow you to more easily assess where you can plug in and provide additional value to the company.”

How to take on extra responsibility

Once one identifies the area in which they can be of additional value, the next challenge is to identify how to communicate that with the higher-ups in the organization. “Don’t forget — a closed mouth doesn’t get fed,” Vann adds. “Speak up and ask for what you want and need in your role. The best way to succeed in this regard is to understand what you and your company need.”

One of the most difficult things for any person to do in the long run is overcome their insecurities about approaching people in power. “It’s easy to be overcome by doubt when asking for more,” says Vann. “It’s natural to question your own skills and qualifications, but it’s essential to trust yourself and lean into opportunities when they arise. Without confidence, it’s impossible to ever grow or develop.”

Still, it is important to be cautious about the choice of words used when voicing ideas to higher-ups in an organization. “Be careful not to make any suggestions that sound overly accusatory,” Vann explains. “You don’t want a conversation asking for more responsibility to seem like you are complaining about the company. Rather than lingering on the cause of the issue — which your leaders might see as blaming them or doing something wrong — focus on how your skills and perspective can add value. Try not to describe it as ‘fixing’ or ‘improving,’ but further ‘growing’ or ‘developing’ the workplace.”

Knowing when to ask for more responsibility

Another major challenge an executive assistant faces when asking for more responsibility is knowing when is the right time to ask for more responsibility. “It is important to think of ‘when’ as less of a measurement of time and more as a reflection of circumstances,” Vann explains. “Rather than anchoring to a specific time — thinking that you need to develop in so many months — determine when it makes sense to take on more responsibilities based on your comfort in the role and with your workload. It’s critical as well that you demonstrate a mastery of your original role before offering to go beyond that.”

It’s important to remember that everyone learns and grows at their own pace. The progress that one person makes in a few months could take another two years to achieve. It’s just as important that one does not attempt to rush through progress so that one doesn’t plateau in their career. “If you take on responsibilities too quickly, you could end up being overwhelmed, which would be a bad look,” says Vann. “Find the best pace to add responsibilities to your workload so that it keeps you consistently challenged, but not so much that it becomes more than you can handle.”

Asking for more responsibility in the workplace can be intimidating, but it is a necessary step for professional development. For those employees who are becoming disillusioned and bored with their positions, asking to take on additional duties can be a way to stay engaged in the workplace while also making a meaningful contribution to the organization.

Artificial Intelligence – The Transition of Operations

NY Weekly Staff on March 8, 2023

The world has experienced a digital shift for the past decade or more, and the current capability that businesses have started to leverage is Artificial Intelligence. The next phase of human evolution will be linked to the widespread success, usage and contentment created by AI. Now, more than ever, it is time for the average person to learn the value of AI advancement and its impact on everyday life.

The current post-corona era has ushered in a prolonged period of unrest. As business and economic structures continue to change, expect the long-term effects on humanity to be eye-opening. The harsh reality is that we are only beginning to understand the consequences. What we do know is that the way people live and work is shifting. The isolation created by shutdowns and controls developed by governments and corporations has changed how life and commerce flow. As a result, demand for tech advancements will accelerate to meet the increasing need for more people to connect in new ways.

Shifting back to how things were before the corona outbreak has been challenging. It was difficult enough to accept change as the pandemic spread. To forget and be expected to change back to the way things are simply impossible. People will not ignore the extensive loss of life and will adjust to their livelihoods. Today, everyone faces new circumstances that have changed daily routines. The lapse of operations for most of the world caused unimaginable losses. To overcome this change, the need for convenient solutions that can improve and rejuvenate business will grow. To overcome setbacks, the need to accelerate the shift to how we live and work in the future will bring out the glamour of Artificial Intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence is much more than a new capability; it is the means to become more effective at what you do daily. AI can augment human activity by helping people do things better. AI can process vast amounts of information instantaneously. Today, AI can create and process data an average human can’t comprehend to achieve. It is not possible to replace the loss made during the pandemic, but it is possible to speed up change by helping businesses and governments to become more efficient. The impact AI will have on salvaging and improving the use of resources will be staggering. AI represents one of the most important capabilities available to humanity today.

To grasp the influence AI will have on the world economy, consider the impact AI will have on worldwide economic output. According to Charles Caldwell, author of Living Smart with Heart, AI will contribute $7.6 trillion to worldwide GDP by 2030. AI value in North America should amount to $2.8 trillion, to $2.1 trillion in Europe, to $1.6 trillion in the Pacific Rim, to $213 billion in South America, to $238 billion in the Middle East & Africa, and to $698 billion in the rest of the world. At the same time, we expect waste due to cybercrimes, fraud, and abuse to grow to $1.2 trillion by 2030. AI will grow to reduce this waste by 5% to 7% initially. To efficiently handle the world’s data processing needs, businesses must adopt AI to improve daily operations across all industry segments.

AI can be developed to suit your specific needs regardless of who you are or where or what you do for work. To realize the true potential of AI, it is important to explore what you want to accomplish in your life. Once you know, you can apply AI to realize your goals and ambitions. You are the source of your own success. AI cannot replicate the human tenacity to think, your progress solely relies upon how you think, feel and act. What AI can do is aid in the way you plan, set goals, and execute. Problems will rise and fall and carry forward to the next day. AI will help you cope with the times while creating opportunities to better your world and produce a more problem-free tomorrow.

“I create teams,” Javier said. “This is what I love to do.”

Working with Webstarted to outsource software engineering to workers in Latin America can save U.S. companies money in multiple ways:

  • Labor costs in Latin America are typically lower than in the U.S. 
  • Latin American time zones are aligned with U.S. time zones, so expenditures on night shifts or other scheduling arrangements are unnecessary. 
  • Many Latin American countries encourage investment and the hiring of native employees through tax incentives; a streamlined regulatory system; and lower operating costs. 

Latin American software engineers have extensive experience working in a wide range of programming languages and technologies. Many of these engineers have also worked with international clients, so their global reach would be an asset for any U.S. company in need of a remote team.

Ways in which Webstarted maintains its cost-effectiveness, which the company passes on to customers, also include:

  • An emphasis on hiring in-house recruiters. 
  • Training recruiters in the Webstarted Academy, a training space for junior talent.
  • Constantly refining the company’s internal Software as a Service platform. 
  • Ramping up investment in the sales department. 
  • Prioritizing feedback from companies and software engineers so protocols can be constantly updated and workflows are streamlined with consistency.  

Webstarted’s growth has also been driven by client referrals, which represent another way to pass on savings to customers, by reducing the costs associated with expanding sales teams. 

“We’ll have a client and that client will refer us to another client,” Javier said, “and that is how we have been working for the past three years.”

The trend of outsourcing software engineering from the U.S. to Latin America is linking a high-caliber workforce with a strong technical background to companies in need of expertise in software engineering. 

A 2022 article on bizlatin.hub detailed how dramatic the shift to remote workers in Latin America has become. 

Three of four respondents to a survey on business trends in the Americas said they had either started outsourcing in Latin America during the pandemic; or increased the amount of work they were outsourcing during the greatest health crisis in generations.

Javier said that, before the pandemic, resistance to remote workers was strong. But as the pandemic forced a shift to an out-of-office workforce, and companies trimmed IT departments, the cost-effectiveness of remote teams came into focus. Javier had already been working in the remote sector for years, and as an individual had helped many companies find remote workers. 

As the need for remote teams increased, Javier launched Webstarted and turned his focus to Latin America because of the cost reduction benefits. 

Driving Webstarted’s strategy is WebstartedHR, which links companies, candidates, recruiters and agencies. As demand for the company’s services increases, WebstartedHR allows for quick pivots as Javier and his team scale up with an expanded recruitment team. 

With 41,000 employee candidates, 93 percent of whom are based in Latin America, Webstarted helps clients with:

  • Recruiting
  • Hiring
  • Administration
  • Paperwork
  • Screening
  • NDAs
  • Hardware/software
  • Billing

Webstarted with its WebstartedHR product takes on these responsibilities and harnesses the power of Latin American software engineers. U.S. companies can, in turn, pay more attention to the most critical piece of their operation—their product. 

Another key component of Webstarted’s vision is the assistance it provides software engineers looking to secure remote work with U.S. companies. As part of its offerings, Webstarted makes certain that remote workers are ready to roll with remote-ready, home office environments.

Webstarted success stories include:

  • Assisting a known software security firm in the hiring of more than a dozen candidates over the past three years.
  • Working with a luxury watch company to fill its entire slate of open software positions in a matter of weeks. 

“We help startups put together their own distributed team of professionals, with the attitude and talent to be productive and efficient,” Javier said. “We make sure that each member of your remote team has the best environment, the discipline, tools and enthusiasm to be efficient and meet goals on a regular basis.”

He added, “We care about people. We know people. We work fast and accurately.”Are you in need of a strategic and reliable partner to help build teams of remote workers?
