Enterprise Applications

In the past year and a half, two of the buzzwords we’ve all been hearing constantly are “remote work” and “the cloud.” Indeed, this is the new work ecosystem we find ourselves in, and people in industries around the world are seeing it unfold in realtime.

If you throw 10 coins into a bucket holding 10 average employees, (representative of the sample of all employees) you’re likely to hit an employee that uses Microsoft Teams for daily tasks almost 7 out of the 10 times. In other words, the use of Microsoft Teams across businesses worldwide has dramatically increased in the past year.

The practice of software development has undergone a seismic shift. Where it was once the domain of coders, developers, and IT experts able to build applications and automated workflows, the introduction of low-code solution has levelled the playing field and given rise to ‘citizen developers’.

Integration Platform-as-a-Service (iPaaS) is rapidly becoming a fundamental component of enterprise technology stacks. And it makes total sense. IT organizations worldwide are dealing with an increasing number of software systems. Whether they are installed within the corporate network, in a cloud service provider’s infrastructure, or offered by a third-party SaaS provider, business groups want to use more software. And that creates a lot of fragmentation and complexity, especially when those systems need to be connected together or data needs to be shared between them.

The latest Gartner Hype Cycle for Artificial Intelligence (AI) shows a large number of AI technologies are set to reach mainstream adoption within 2-5 years, including edge AI, computer vision, AI cloud services, composite AI and machine learning. However, Gartner research also found that only half of AI projects make it from pilot into production, and those that do take an average of nine months to do so.

It’s now well known that usernames and passwords aren’t enough to securely access online services. A recent study highlighted more than 80% of all hacking-related breaches happen due to compromised and weak credentials, with three billion username/password combinations stolen in 2016 alone. As such, the implementation of two-factor authentication (2FA) has become a necessity. Generally, 2FA aims to provide an additional layer of security to the relatively vulnerable username/password system.

Imagine you’re having friends over for lunch and plan to order a pepperoni pizza. You recall Amy mentioning that Susie had stopped eating meat. You try calling Susie, but when she doesn’t pick up, you decide to play it safe and just order a margherita pizza instead. People take for granted the ability to deal with situations like these on a regular basis. In reality, in accomplishing these feats, humans are relying on not one but a powerful set of universal abilities known as common sense.
