Tell us more about trends such as AI. Is the influence of AI technologies on WordPress visible today?

AI has dominated every sector in the industrial world today. WordPress is inseparable from AI. As of now, we have seen various features in WordPress that make use of Artificial Intelligence. For example, you can see automated replies that are based on AI ideology. Measuring the reader’s emotional responses is now run by AI and is the best we could expect.

Many SEO analyzer tools make use of AI tools to know if your content is rich. As WordPress is evolving at a fast pace, we could expect a feature named Virtual Assistance where the developers can install an AI plugin without developing the entire architecture from scratch. Due to WordPress’s extensive flexibility, its curve and the AI curve are expected to go parallel.

How much your company is active on social networks in terms of marketing and how would you describe your marketing strategy or philosophy anyway!?

We’re extensively working on our social media marketing and running our marketing campaigns regularly. I firmly believe “creative content” is an essential aspect of marketing and hence make sure we create content that is more engaging and connects well with the intended audience and gives them more insights and thus grows our company’s presence.

What is your opinion about the impact of Covid-19 on the market and business in general?

COVID-19 has hugely affected Health & Infrastructure and Livelihood as a whole. The economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic is devastating. However, being in the IT sector has yet proved to be a boon with the ability to work remotely and yet manage the Business well.

In your opinion as a manager of a company, what is the greatest value of remote working?

Well, every situation has its own consequences. During this pandemic, we were in a non-negotiable condition to work remotely, but that came out to be unexpectedly supportive for the organization.

We got a more communicative environment from our employees, more engagement in work and more satisfactory output as well. People choose more flexibility nowadays, which I believe is their right unless it is used excessively.

As a manager of the company, the greatest value that I received was our satisfied, immensely dedicated team and higher productivity in return.

There is always a right time to initiate.
