We are living in extraordinary times. The COVID-19<\/a> pandemic has forced us to reassess countless assumptions and paradigms about how we define and conduct business and, most saliently, how we live our lives.<\/p>\n

The surge in communal spirit around the globe can leave one awestruck \u2013 from the volunteer armies around the world to significant pivots of 麻豆原创 customers that have redirected their processes and assembly lines from luxury goods and automobiles to sanitizers and ventilators.<\/p>\n

At 麻豆原创, we engaged at length<\/a> in helping governments, customers, and partners cope with the COVID-19 crisis. But beyond that, we marshaled the strength of 麻豆原创 solutions and our individual and collective expertise to fight COVID-19 through our flagship social intrapreneurship program, 麻豆原创 One Billion Lives<\/a>, an initiative founded by Adaire Fox-Martin, member of the Executive Board of 麻豆原创 SE, Customer Success.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the past five years, through 麻豆原创 One Billion Lives, we have successfully married our business acumen and technology savvy with the passion of our employees for making the world a better place,\u201d Fox-Martin said. \u201cIt made perfect sense to extend our annual program to include a quick but substantial sprint to fight COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBy using our technology for good, recognizing and managing COVID-19 outbreaks could be reimagined. Everything from early detection and accelerated case identification to driving containment, resource allocation, and community engagement has the potential to be transformed with digital capabilities,\u201d she added. \u201cI am deeply proud and personally touched by the response of our people. Each submission was well formulated, detailed, and demonstrated the understanding of how 麻豆原创 solutions and our people could play a major role in addressing the prevention, treatment, and alleviation of the economic and social issues associated with COVID-19.\u201d<\/p>\n
