How To Avoid Chronically Late Software Releases + Checklist

Delays in software release often spawn a Butterfly Effect of Devastation for IT companies, resulting in “reputation decimation,” job loss, and cost overruns. Late release usually multiples buggy code, and bugs lead directly to financial wrecks. A Six Sigma report notes that: “The cost to fix an error found after product release was four to five times as much as one uncovered during design. The cost to fix after-product-release bug was up to 100 times more than one identified in the maintenance phase.”

A Blueprint for Equity and Inclusion in Artificial Intelligence

whitePaper | June 28, 2022

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been accelerating across sectors. It has great potential to benefit society but the technology’s full potential can only be realized if it includes the diversity of the populations it represents throughout every step of its development. With growing concerns about bias, data privacy and lack of representation, it is critical to re-evaluate the way in which AI is both designed and deployed to ensure that all affected stakeholders and communities reap the benefits of the technology, rather than any harm.

Bringing Job Costing to the Field

whitePaper | April 16, 2020

In construction, we are often designing and constructing made-to-order assets, so there is immediately less certainty. We may be dealing with multiple projects for different people, with different schedules, and run by different project managers. Each will be in a different location, with different site footprints, different ground conditions, different access routes, etc. And, partly influenced by their locations, we are often dealing with different suppliers we might select local designers, subcontractors, plant, materials, and product suppliers based on their proximity to the site.

Cloud SOS: Treating a case of cloud failure

whitePaper | August 5, 2020

Your cloud-enabled future loomed bright. Major budgets were allocated. Agonising hours were spent herding stakeholders. You’re now using cloud, but your teams and the wider business aren’t reaping the expected benefits. Even with the best intentions, tech leaders are struggling to fill those skills gaps, particularly when it comes to cloud implementation, migration and net new deployments. As a result, the business is held back – from capitalising on the cloud’s potential to deliver value internally (boosting efficiency and agility) and externally (delivering products and services that boost revenue).

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AT THE EDGE OF MANUFACTURING

whitePaper | November 1, 2021

Robotics, automation, Internet of Things (IoT), and data are not new in manufacturing. Manufacturing is one of the most data-rich and first industries piloting artificial intelligence at the edge. It’s been estimated, however, that about 95% of all industrial data goes unused. The reason? Legacy equipment and operational systems that tend to be proprietary and siloed are incapable of communicating with each other.
