While artificial intelligence (AI) is already effectively assisting human developers at every level of the development process, software development will only get better as it is about to undergo a huge change.
Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the way developers work, resulting in significant productivity, quality and speed increases. Everything — from project planning and estimation to quality testing and the user experience — can benefit from AI algorithms.
I've observed an odd trend in company board meetings. Marketing and sales vice presidents will come in with charts, reports and finely-tuned data. The CFO will fire up a dashboard detailing every penny of revenue and expense. The HR chief will share hiring metrics down to the last employee. But when it comes to engineering, the lifeblood of any modern company, there's little data — just a vague sense of what's working and what's not.
Saying that we live in a "digital age" may feel a bit cliche, but there's no denying that the internet and social media have revolutionized the way we interact. Survey data from the Pew Research Center reveals that 81 percent of Americans use the web daily, with 28 percent saying they are online "almost constantly."
We live in a hyperconnected ecosystem, where every interaction results in massive datasets being generated. This consumption and usage of data has significantly changed over the years, helping shape new business models and driving a customer-centric approach to transformation.
How can retailers use technology to enhance the shopping journey? Technology may have the potential to complicate a retail experience, but technology can also improve the customer journey. At the height of the pandemic, companies were forced to take a good look at how they could adapt without traditional in-person, brick-and-mortar shopping. At Rebag, the luxury resale platform I founded, we regularly question how we could improve and elevate the customer experience through technology.
It’s fair to say that retailers have ridden out a decade of dramatic shifts, with more inevitably to come. Beyond the initial swing from brick-and-mortar to e-commerce, the pandemic has fueled the acceleration of consumers’ omnichannel expectations and exacerbated macroeconomic headwinds, including inflation, labor and inventory issues—underscoring the critical need for retail resilience.
The Software Development Life Cycle (commonly known as SDLC) is the process used to explain how software is delivered to customers in a series of steps or phases. It’s the backbone of modern software development and is vital to a software developer’s success.
A software development company uses this process not only to make sure that a product is developed properly but also that it’s completed as cost-effectively as possible while improving quality and reducing the required time.
You can’t innovate without a strong foundation. That’s why it’s vital to think strategically about IT infrastructure — and to get your C-suite colleagues and board members too as well.
High-performing CIOs know that digital mastery depends on a strong foundation of rock-solid infrastructure, information security, enterprise data management, and sound IT governance. But for all the emphasis on cutting-edge technology for business transformation, IT infrastructure too often gets short shrift.
Digital transformation is a term that is thrown around a lot, and people have different ways to interpret what it means. Essentially, digita...
