Many people see programmers as emotionless nerds lost in their code… And to some extent, that's true :) But the reality is, programmers care deeply about what their code actually does and how it impacts the world.
I experienced this like never before in Acto.

Acto’s Vision

Order

Order and organization are the fundamental foundation of any business. At their core, businesses and companies operate as systems. Successful companies are systems that are organized better than others.

Consolidation

Projects are goals. Projects are time. Projects are resources. Projects are people. Projects are tasks. And finally, projects are information. Acto's idea is to brings all these elements together, to consolidate them.

Focus

Imagine a person who can focus on what truly matters, set priorities, visualizes, and sees goals with clarity. Imagine someone who leads but is not led. Acto is designed for such people.

Inspiration

What is the meaning, goal, purpose of your project? What role do you and your team play in it? Why are you doing this? The philosophy of Acto is to ask questions and find answers. To develop. To create. To inspire.

More space.
