Intragroups BACKGROUND

Intragroups represents a major (future) and dramatic diversion from current Information technology concepts, designs, platforms, languages, code and global software deployment.

In 2001, before the dotcom bubble burst, an incubator company was undergoing rapid expansion. Their intense summer 3-week IT Boot Camp contained 75 students (all new hires) representing 10% of all employees in this relatively new enterprise. 

The classes revolved around the Universal Language (UL) designed to produce superior user-based applications in 10% of the time normally required to develop new and complex applications, with non-professional IT programmers and business analysts.

The attendees were from 2 backgrounds. New graduates from the best universities (major did not matter) made up 90% (average age 22) - the other 10% being IT professionals of an older ilk (average age 40+).

During the day everyone was in class with all its normal stress, fun, and humiliation for some unfortunate students. Instructors were super heroes who talked fast, knew everything, and were literally "in your face"

During the evenings / weekends the class was divided into 10 teams of 7 or 8 individuals with a unique group challenge. Creation of an application using the Universal Language, and presentation / demonstration of said software on the last day of class. Judges were to be from the company Executive group. For 10 teams to work from identical specifications and complete the same assignment within the same timeframe has never been done before or since, in the world of Information Technology (IT). 

Needless to say - the pressure and stress during the 3-weeks was incredible. Older folks were actually seen crying and, on occasion, walking out of classes. Competitive teams were heard screaming at each other. Hotel patrons wondered what on earth was going on around them.

On the appointed day - one of the 10 teams won this amazing, complex, rewarding competition. Intragroups was born out of this unique event and current founders were a part of the winning team.

The Project Leader of this brilliant group of young individuals went on to initiate the Intragroups thought process and take it from proof-of-concept to market. A few ex-employees of this amazing company worked with Intragroups in designing end products and strategies. For confidentiality / proprietary reasons we cannot mention their names (yet). They know who they are... Charlene, Dan, Scott and of course, Mr. W. to name a few!
