Real Value of Technology

Flint Tech began its history in the VR technology market in 2012. It was the time of the first consumer VR goggles, Oculus DK1. From the very beginning, the company has been developing at a dynamic pace to become one of the best-known providers of VR/AR solutions in Poland. How is the company doing today? Its CEO, Mr. Peter Dunn, together with the COO, Mr. Paweł Luszuk, will tell us about it.

What’s the scope of your services and who are you targeting?

PD: Above all, we focus on working with entrepreneurs who need support with the services we offer. We base our business on the principle of B2B cooperation. Today, Flint Tech offers a world-class range of IT solutions that effectively meet customers’ business objectives. Our experienced team of specialists focus on a huge range of projects, VR e-learning and training related to VR technology. We create with the real value of technology in mind to provide a comprehensive service to customers. One of the phenomenal brands we have the pleasure of working with is Adidas.

What distinguishes your company from others in the industry?

PD: One of the most important factors that attracts customers to Flint Tech is the people, the valuable staff who bring their commitment, expectations and ideas concerning the expansion of the company. The company is still developing, the team is working on innovations. The level of knowledge and communication is excellent, which makes us work with great enthusiasm and pleasure. It’s the people who drive innovation, first and foremost, through the unlimited thought process, continuous education and expanding reach. Our team’s strength also lies in our work culture, which improves communication, thus reducing the time it takes to plan the execution of orders.

Such a dose of knowledge arouses and exudes enthusiasm and opens up new possibilities. This system involves many departments, especially programmers, project managers and the marketing department. Continuous learning is extremely important in the IT industry, you always need to be up to date to meet all the challenges of current and future contractors.

PL: I completely agree and I have to say that the team is one thing, but the technology we create together is something breath-taking. We are at the forefront of the industry and it’s a very exciting time.

How important is communication within the company?

Efficient communication is the basis, first of all, for effective teamwork, but it also has a huge impact on the positive atmosphere and on improving the use of time for specific activities. Communication is a pillar for sharing knowledge.

We focus primarily on specific marketing activities to make sharing information a regular and recurring activity.

How do you share your knowledge of VR/AR technologies, their capabilities and application in different market sectors?

Training in the IT industry is highly successful, recognised and it continues to grow. The world is changing fast, the progress of Industry 4.0 can be seen in every area of our lives. The latest ways to transfer knowledge are successively published articles on our VR e-learning website trainingVR and a specially developed app to be downloaded to your phone. Such wide-ranging activities provide opportunities for anyone who wants to enter the world of IT and broaden their horizons.

How has the pandemic affected your work?

Working in the IT industry has not changed significantly despite specific modifications and difficulties, however, you could see transformations in our clients.

Many companies have decided over time to significantly digitise their business processes. Already in the second half of 2020, there was a huge demand for systems related to the VR technology we are developing. The economy as a whole and banking in particular were looking for appropriate solutions and found them here.

Looking at the situation more pragmatically, when we say that COVID-19 has affected many industries, most people have undergone a metamorphosis in their lives. Slowing down and looking at one’s business from a different perspective has given people a fresh perspective and, in a way, forced them to take new steps to ensure that their business can survive this particular testing time. Outdated systems or archaic processes have often blocked the resilient growth of companies. Learning about and implementing the new virtual reality into businesses has given rise to a transformation and opened them up to new opportunities. It can therefore be summarised that the pandemic has identified certain shortcomings, gaps in companies’ internal systems, and allowed these companies to find the right tools to fill them.

We strive to successively support the IT industry in improving the technology that is visible every day, at every turn. It takes all activities to the next level, including learning, which is currently available remotely. We also create an industry news page, which is of great interest to business owners.

What plans do you have for the future?

PL: We are currently focusing on two aspects. The first is the product base of our customers. It’s a set of services where there are clear needs that customers pay attention to. Such cooperation brings tangible benefits much faster than creating a system and then implementing it at the customer’s premises. This is a new and effective approach to working with customers.

The second issue we focus on is a special, closely product-related approach to sales in the company. It helps us create the best products that are highly effective.

PD: Big tech companies like Facebook are encouraging challenges for us. This kind of knowledge and the IOS have done something great for everyone involved in AR/VR and MR. The whole world needs a properly developed system to broaden the horizons of contractors. This is the best time to act.

You have been nominated to the EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AWARD. What value is that to you?

Every award is a great honour. This is very exciting. It is worth emphasising that we have the best team and outstanding products, which is reflected in the professional work we do. This is very motivating.
