Especially during the second half of 2020 it has been very difficult to stay active, the months of isolation, the presence of the pandemic, social responsibility, obligations, commitments, and individual needs, absolutely everything was and continues to be under threat, pressure and stress.
We create a Program of the highest level, Simple, Reliable and Profitable! Together with our Certified Partners and Integrators we build the best path for the installation of leading products and systems in the plants and applications of end users. Together we provide complete solutions covering all phases of the project lifecycle and after-sales support.

Last June 2020, motivated and driven by the circumstances that continue to affect the whole world, the managers have made a strategic business decision. Several of the solutions and services that they had been offering and providing successfully, were greatly affected by the crisis generated as a result of COVID-19.
After several months of work the new WiseCourses Campus has finally been migrated from the old system. The new Campus brings much easier and more enjoyable tools that we are sure you will love.
To our employees, customers, shareholders and the public we serve.
In light of developments related to COVID-19, we would like to say first that our thoughts are with those affected by the virus around the world. In response to the pandemic, WisePlant stands ready to serve people during these uncertain times, and we are committed to getting it right and collaborating in solidarity. Most importantly, we want you to know that our top priority in response to COVID-19 is the health and safety of our employees. Since the beginning of this pandemic, we have focused the Company’s resources and expertise on addressing the most urgent challenges posed by COVID-19. In our group we have suffered some non-direct losses, but relatives of our collaborators and very close friends. We are living in very distressing times. The economic impact and rising unemployment has reached historic levels today. Many of the services we provide have been impacted, suspended, postponed. The investment capacity of many major companies is being cut very significantly, and the security measures taken make the regular provision of services and supplies difficult. As a result, our ability to supply the portfolio of products, solutions and provide regular services has also been impacted, as a result of the multiple prevention and security measures that governments and companies have had to adopt. It is our mission to act responsibly in recovering the activity, the functioning of the value chain, the maintenance of essential services and the well-being of people and society.
What were we and are we still working on?
COVID-19 is unlike any other crisis we have addressed in recent memory. The threat is truly global: it moves across borders on a timeline that no one can predict with certainty, meaning we can’t simply transfer calls and work to other program sites outside the affected areas. We are making significant progress in the change to teleworking by providing equipment and adaptations in many aspects. We continue to move forward and are collaborating with our clients to create solutions and acquire resources that support the continuity of the Company’s work virtually, for which we have a robust technology and a culture of flexibility that allows our staff to perform their work efficiently and effectively remotely. Furthermore, we will continue to tailor our approach to meet your specific needs, and we will adapt and communicate with you as circumstances change. In the meantime, we want to assure you that we will continue to provide you with uninterrupted service.
It will be difficult, but we will get through it. Here’s what we’re doing and what you need to know.
Sincerely
January 16, 2020: ISA Global Cybersecurity Alliance begins the new year with several priority projects underway and an expanded group of companies and organizations as members.
