Modern businesses often scale quickly and therefore require expanded data center resources. Or more simply, they do not want to invest a huge amount of capex in expensive hardware in advance - they prefer to follow a “pay as you grow” model. In that case, moving to a public or hybrid cloud environment is often the best solution. However, that is easier said than done, and this process could be hard to perform without an experienced team. Finally, moving to the cloud requires modifications to the processes of data center operations.

Proof of concept vs. prototype: know the difference

Every business is looking for new products to increase competitiveness and market share and meet the market’s most pressing needs. Companies want to create novel customer experiences, boost business growth, and launch new business initiatives. However, each well-designed item of software, before the product launch, should be validated with real-world users to verify the business concept. This is possible through a POC (proof of concept) and a product prototype. What are they? How are they different? A POC is an approach that allows businesses to validate the feasibility of new ideas.

Risk management in software development projects

Among the various technology fields, software development might be one of the most inherently difficult to predict and plan. By nature, digital products are intangible and software engineering projects often involve many stakeholders. Software development processes tend to include multiple stages - including design, documentation, programming, and testing phases - and all of them require a high level of technological and management expertise. Because of the complex nature of digital projects, a wide variety of risks need to be considered and managed from the outset of any software project.
