Software development technology has become essential for maintaining a competitive advantage and providing better patient care. With the global dental industry market valued at USD 34,245 million in 2022 and an estimated reach of USD 55,351 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.48% during the forecast period (2023-2031), dental processes are evolving from basic care centers to complex healthcare hubs that use digital diagnostics, treatment planning, and patient engagement tools.

The approach to reusability and customization is like walking on a tightrope. You ought to keep a balance of both aspects to successfully walk through it.  Reusability is developing software components that can be easily used and plugged into different applications without modification. On the other hand, customization is about changing the software to fit the special needs and likes of a particular user or business use case.

FinOps and the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) are two fundamental concepts in modern technology management. What FinOps does is simplify financial operations that are carried out using cloud systems by ensuring accountability and cost transparency. The SDLC describes a structured process of software development, with phases extending from design to maintenance to ensure quality and efficiency.

As technology leaders strive to meet modern demands for speed and flexibility in their applications, one of the major hurdles they face is outdated, monolithic frontend architecture that hinders innovation and scalability.

As developers and companies seek cost-effectiveness in the software industry, they face a strategic decision: should you have one set of code that works across your websites and mobile app, or separate code for each? This decision can impact your project's agility, costs, and scalability.

When considering agile methodologies, Scrum typically takes center stage in the discussion due to its long-standing status as the preferred choice among product managers for the past 15 years. However, an in-depth analysis of the annual State of Agile reports reveals a shifting landscape, where alternative methodologies such as Feature-Driven Development (FDD) are gaining prominence.  

Artificial intelligence (AI) solutions are redefining daily life and global business operations, offering unprecedented speed and efficiency that surpass human capabilities. However, as this new "intelligence" unfolds, a critical question arises: Can it embody qualities beyond mere logic and reasoning? Specifically, will emotion play a role in AI's functionality, and can it ever rival human capacity for sensing and feeling?

As of 2024, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has settled 142 cases of HIPAA violations, resulting in various covered entities facing over $142 million in penalties for non-compliance. These penalties, although significant, represent only a fraction of the consequences for violating HIPAA.

Whether it's shopping, job interviews, education, or payments, more and more people are making the switch to the virtual sphere. And it makes sense - doing things digitally is not only cost-effective but also faster. For instance, these instant payment services; when it comes to paying, why bother with cash when you can just click a few buttons and be done?

Once programmers are done writing a piece of code, they need to expose the code over a network for other applications to utilize its functionalities. This is done through web services. Web services are software functions for exchanging data between different applications. SOAP and REST are two examples of protocols or definitions that let web services communicate with each other.
