Where Big Data and Software Development Collide

Corporate America is turning to data analytics, machine learning, and business intelligence to answer the following questions of business operations, marketing campaigns, and other important management decisions:

·         What’s wrong?

·         What’s going to happen next?

·         Is this going to work?

In order for these questions to be answered accurately and in a timely manner, programmers are being asked to develop software capable of harnessing the full potential of Big Data.

Massive data centers filled with exabytes (one billion gigabytes) of transaction records, financial information, browsing habits, social media activity, and mobile data are impotent without software developers writing programs to facilitate the analytics process.

Why are software development houses switching to no-code?

No-code platforms for application development offer the advantages of speed and ease of use, and help firms escape developer skills shortages. Will the UK follow the Netherlands’ lead in taking up this approach?

When it comes to building applications for customers, many software development vendors are supplementing traditional code-based work with no-code and low-code approaches. This seems especially to be the case in the Netherlands, wherein 2019 alone, 10 development houses partnered with my firm, the no-code platform provider Betty Blocks.

Will no-code catch on here in the UK channel? London-based digital workhouses Holygrow and Tech Rebels are two shops to have come aboard in recent months, in a low-code market that Forrester says is growing at about 50% a year and likely to be worth $21bn by 2022.

Cloud Strategies Aren't Just About Digital Transformation Anymore

Cloud migrations are accelerating in the wake of the pandemic. The new normal is even more virtual.

Organizations have been transferring more data, workloads, and applications to the cloud to increase the pace of innovation and organizational agility.

Up until recently, the digital transformation services were accelerating. However, cloud adoption recently got a major shove as the result of the crisis, which can be seen in:

• Dramatic remote work spikes
• Capital expenditure (CapEx) reductions
• Business model adaptations to maintain customer relationships

In fact, in a recent blog, Forrester reported robust 2020 first quarter growth of top three providers with AWS at 34%, Microsoft Azure (59%), and Google Cloud Platform (52%). The driver, according to Vice President and Principal Analyst John Rymer, is "Faced with sudden and urgent disruption, most enterprises are turning to the big public cloud providers for help."
