IT systems are constantly evolving. And to innovate and thrive — staying competitive in today’s market — businesses need to evolve too. Yet many organizations still rely on older legacy systems and workloads, wasting time, resources and money as long as they do. Their IT teams spend too much of
Hewlett Packard spent $160 million—then lost five times as much. Revlon’s stock price dropped 6.9%. Nike invested $400 million, then lost $100 million and saw a 20% drop in their stock price. The common denominator? All of these businesses invested in digital transformation, only for things to go wrong. And
Want to keep getting value from your existing business information systems? You need a game plan for application modernization. You’re not alone. Every organization I talk to feels the pressure to keep pace with the cloud and the internet of things (IoT) and leverage big data. But wait, there’s more:

For every moment a customer is engaging with digital products and services online, there are untold numbers of variables that have to be managed behind the scenes in order to deliver the best possible experience. Think of a person searching for car insurance online as an example. As they navigate
When developing locally I usually incorporate Docker Compose into my local development workflow: Bringing up supporting containers needed to run databases, reverse proxies, other applications, or just to see how the container I’m developing works. Given that Docker Desktop comes with a single node Kubernetes (K8s) cluster and I usually end up
In life, risk is all but inevitable. That’s just as true in our financial choices and daily work life as it is in our social interactions and health decisions. Whether we like it or not, every time we walk out of the house there’s some kind of risk involved. But
Manual processes are often time-consuming processes. They tend to be repetitive, even boring processes. They are not the kind of work people tend to do as well as machines. This could be why — even though he was writing long before software as we know it came to be —
Ask your friends, family or coworkers about the products they love most, and you’ll often see a similar expression cross their faces. It doesn’t matter whether they talk about how attractive the product or service is, how easy it is to use or how it’s so helpful they can’t imagine
The business case for legacy modernization could be summed up in one sentence: You’re never going to run a successful business in the twenty-first century by depending upon twentieth-century IT. By the mid to late 1990s, for instance, many organizations realized they needed to make investments in business applications, back-end
If digital transformation is done correctly, there are five words the people behind such initiatives should never have to hear: “Why doesn’t this thing work?” The “thing” could be a mobile app offered to customers, a content management system used by employees on the back end, or something even more

We need to ensure that a conversation interface will actually be easier to use for our audience, taking into consideration their context of use and accessibility needs.
Proper requirements not only help in understanding and delivering better user needs but also help build the pathway to improved solutions.
Conversation design (also called voice design, voice user interface (VUI) design, or conversation user interface design (CUI)) is building experiences where a user interacts with an Artificial Intelligence (AI) agent to complete tasks.
