Optimizing Operations for Your Organization The more I interact with various organizations, the more the issues seem to align. Custom ERP solutions can solve majority of the issues that the company is experiencing. In this article, we’ll take a look at what are some of the advantages of customizing your ERP experience. I typically, 95%+ of the time, disagree with custom ERP solutions, but for the sake of this article, let’s explore some advantages. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are an essential part of modern businesses, and their importance cannot be overstated. ERP software is designed to help organizations streamline
A Roadmap to Fulfillment and Success Uncertainty: You’ll go through it several times in your life. The tech sector moves lightning fast, so you’ll probably experience highs and lows numerous times throughout your career; it’ll be much faster than your non-tech counterparts. Just when you feel you have it figured out, you’ll have a wrench thrown into your plan. You’ll have to be adaptable and understand that sometimes you have to throw it away while other times you simply change your strategy. I believe that most of us understand that we’ll need to be lifelong learners from this point on.
Streamlining, Scalability, and Seamless Collaboration It’s 2023 and we’re still having this conversation. I’m sitting here, writing this article and listening to the Lex Fridman’s interview with Ginni Rometty. Early in the interview, Ginni mentions that the thing that they looked for from candidates wasn’t a college degree (even though they started off that way), instead it was a willingness to change. I’ve spoken to many senior developers that still don’t believe in Docker or how it might help them. They’re focused on the way that they’ve developed for the past 10 years and are not interested in
The Crucial Role of CIOs in Educating and Collaborating on IT Decisions One role that IT serves is maintenance inside of the organization. The role of the CIO/IT Director many times is speaking and educating individuals within the organization on why certain IT decisions are made. These are not siloed decisions but are instead collaborative and fully vetted from the business side. Sometimes they look unnecessary, but in reality they are. Most IT departments have more work than they can handle and are not looking to add on additional unnecessary work onto their plate. Which means that when specific IT
Scary or Amazing? The good part is that Chat GPT is still underutilized. Most people have heard about it by now, but most are not using it. If they did, they would see just how powerful it really is. Even when they do, it’ll take some time for them to understand how to communicate with it. For the developer community, it’s pretty simple and we’re understanding the scope of its capabilities…and it’s frightening. I started noticing a downward trend in the last month with my articles. They’re getting less interaction and even the earning is a quarter of what it
Overkill or Overpower for Web Development? I recently decided to switch back to a PC away from my all Apple products. I have an iMac 27″ and the MacBook Air that I use both for development. Unfortunately the retina displays just mess with my eyes way too much and I wanted something with a matte display that’s a little better on the eyes. After looking through the lineup, most of the laptops that had any real spec to them were gaming laptops. Out of the gaming laptops, the one that stood out the most to me was the Alienware x14.
Unlocking AI’s Business Potential Since everyone’s on the AI bandwagon, I thought we could go over some real life business use-cases. You would hope that the business side would ask these types of questions, but I believe that IT has a responsibility in educating the business side in what kind of questions are appropriate to ask IT for. For example, sales can and should ask, “what happens if we increase the price of these products? Do we believe that the number of sales will be the same or are we going to drop?” That’s a great question and with a
Navigating Complexity for Success I was just talking about the topic with one of my friends. I’ve joked before that project management is the answer to life. I tend to go overboard with project management, but then again work does seem to go smoothly. Could there be a correlation? You can have the best software developers but with a poor project manager, your team will not succeed. Project management is an essential aspect of software development. It is a process that involves planning, organizing, and managing resources to achieve specific goals within a defined timeline. Software development projects can be
A glimpse into the impending AI evolution There have been many pivotal moments in tech-history. I say this because I truly believe we’re on another verge. GPT-4 is incredibly impressive. It has about a 100 trillion parameters. Our brains have about 86 billion neurons and roughly a 100 trillion synapses. It’s incredibly quick and can generate unique responses for each of your questions. I’ve already transitioned to using it for most of my searches. I even asked myself, “has Google always been this bad?” We’re starting to get spoiled. What were some of the other pivotal moments in tech-history? Invention
