Software Technology Insights - Learn, Develop, Grow

In today's advanced competitive world, the most valuable commodity is data. Data has many forms, from pictures of people and places to patient records and banking transactions. Machine Learning is a branch of Artificial Intelligence that can fully leverage this data to learn from it and enhance a business' bottom line.

The software development and delivery pipeline of DevOps, also referred to as the CI/CD pipeline, ensures that market-ready software products are released for public use faster. Continuous Testing is a set of evaluation procedures in the DevOps pipeline meant to ensure the product's quality and to enhance the reliability of the outcome.

Today, we are at a point in the software delivery paradigm where most IT enterprises have implemented DevOps in their workflow in some way, shape, or form. DevOps teams are guided by various operating principles, the most prominent of which are Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD), or CI/CD.

For technology organizations, cloud adoption is a go-to strategy for cost reduction, risk mitigation, and a more increased scope of scalability. Enterprise-ready cloud infrastructure highlights the maturity of a company's depth of technological prowess. Therefore, it is important to conduct periodic cloud readiness assessments.

The software development business is witnessing an ever-increasing adoption of various cloud-native methods for deploying applications, and containerization is one of the most sought-after of these methods. This has, however, opened up organizations using containers to potential cyber-attacks and other vulnerabilities, therefore promoting the need for container security. 

In today's competitive business landscape, success is directly affected by the accuracy that goes into your decision-making process. The best business decisions are driven by data aggregated from a vast array of white papers, market research reports, surveys, and domain experience. Augmented analytics is a leading data analytics subdomain emerging in the current market.

As cloud adoption becomes a widely accepted norm amongst organizations, effective management of the cloud infrastructure is now at the forefront. Efficient management of the cloud leads to holistic resource optimization and the option of keeping a close eye on cloud infrastructure spending.

The industry standard amongst IT and cloud computing-based organizations dictate the need for rapid testing, deployment, and scalability of applications. At the moment, the best option at the disposal of these companies is container orchestration. The most popular and sought-after container orchestration tool in the market today is the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). 

The healthcare industry is on a constant lookout for digital solutions to conduct the financial, administrative, and clinical operations of a hospital. These days, these are largely carried out by means of a set of informatics tools, collectively known as Hospital Information Systems (HIS). In addition to a  patient's health information, inventory and personnel data are also stored, managed, and transmitted across a HIS.

In the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector every single transaction is of significance. Technology that allows the tracking and management of expenses, revenues, inventories, and personnel must be highly reliable. That is why financial institutions invest in Document Management Systems (DMS) or Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems as a priority, so as to keep a secure record of each financial event and activity.
