-: My name is Eric Crump
and I am a software engineer with Genesis.
So I support the Global Technical Sales Group.
I write a lot of webpages, web services, applications
to support technical sales.
So we have sales people all around the world
and they need to demonstrate our product.
And so what I do is I write the demonstrations
and the webpages that they interact with
to be able to mimic what a customer would see
in their environment.
So what I do evolves very rapidly.
So we're continually releasing new features
to our products and new entire products.
And so when those come out they get published
and say this new product is available.
So it puts a lotta pressure on me and my team
to very rapidly develop something along those lines.
And on our team, there's only a couple of developers.
And so what we need to do is
be aware that this feature is about to come out
and start to make plans for it
and then have it ready to go as soon as possible.
Because it's very frequently that we'll get an email
company-wide that says this product is available
at nine o'clock this morning
and by quarter after nine, we'll have emails,
okay, how do I demonstrate this.
Beings that we have people on every continent
it really makes it so we have to be aware
of what's going on at any given time.
So I mean it's a little more difficult
where if we wanna publish something
or we want to restart a server or do something
along those lines, we can't just do it.
Okay, it's midnight, no one in the United States is on.
Let's do it now.
So we still have to look out for other people.
Unfortunately, it means that certain parts of the world
frequently get interrupted by us,
but for the most part, yes,
the fact that it's worldwide makes it much more complicated.
