Integrating Geospatial Features is Easier Than Ever

\n

Business applications that incorporate geospatial data are growing and the off-the-shelf tools available to exploit and integrate this information into business applications are better and easier than ever to use.

\n

Here are some examples of how geospatial data integration is changing the way businesses operate:

\n
    \n
  • In sales and marketing by defining sharper and more accurate market segments
    • \n
  • In asset management by providing more efficient maintenance dispatch and routing
    • \n
  • In transportation and logistics improving service levels and reducing fuel and driver costs
    • \n
  • In fraud detection by detecting anomalies in healthcare claims, social programs, and credit card use
    • \n
  • In situational awareness and intelligence to locate new stores, hospitals, and warehouses based on where competitors are and demographics
    • \n
  • In risk analysis for insurance companies to determine overexposure to certain areas
    • \n
  • In agriculture by improving land and soil analysis and nutrient use optimization
    • \n
  • And many more
    • \n

Serverless and Faas Offer a Compelling Business Case

\n

Serverless systems are having a significant impact on cloud costs.  For example, running twelve (12) 200ms transactions using a traditional AWS EC2 t2.nano configuration would cost 2300 times more than running it in AWS Lambda.  That is a very compelling reduction from $0.012 to $$0.000005.

\n

In addition to these savings, having great elasticity by breaking an application monolith into independently deployed functions means a better ability to split teams to work on more things in parallel, and to deploy each feature separately.

\n

Finally. some estimates out there show that moving to AWS Lambda gave an overall operational cost reduction of greater than 95% for a comparable amount of computing.

Serverless Showdown: AWS Lambda vs Azure Functions vs Google Cloud Functions

\n

By Moneer Rifai

\n

At the heart of the serverless paradigm is the Function as a Service (FaaS) model, a category of services that make it ridiculously easy to run code in the cloud without provisioning any computing infrastructure.

\n

This article explores the challenges and the future as the technology matures and more and more devices are connected.

The labor savings alone are compelling and not just the labor associated with setting up (e.g., spinning up new servers, creating load balancers) and managing (e.g., installing system software) infrastructure or setting up and managing the applications that run on that infrastructure, but the labor associated with the errors inherent in such a complex manual process.

What Is “Infrastructure as Code” and Why Do You Need It?

\n

By Milecia McGregor

\n

One of the new big things in DevOps is “infrastructure as code,”  which translates into treating your infrastructure the same way as you treat your application code.

\n

In other words,  you will check it into version control, write tests for it, and make sure that it does not diverge from what you have across multiple environments.  Read more about this new trend here.

Enterprise Breaches Through Compromised API’s Are Skyrocketing

\n

APIs traffic comprises more than 80% of all HTTP traffic and application breaches through compromised APIs is growing exponentially.

\n

Do you know all the APIs you have?  Do you understand which should be public vs. private?  Do you who should be using these APIs?  Do you follow a standard policy/approach for authentication, validation, and tracking of who is actually using these APIs?

A database is part of the foundation layer for any software application.  Selecting a database that supports the right structure, size, and/or speed to meet the needs of your application will yield tangible and intangible benefits for years to come.

\n

After some analysis, you may even realize that you need more than one database to handle all the data types, structures, data volumes, and speeds that your application requires.\n

Maximize the Value of Your Software

\n

In the world of software M&A the idea of conducting Technical Due Diligence before purchasing or investing in a software company is a critical and mandatory step.

\n

If you are building a SaaS company with the idea of either raising external capital to continue growing or eventually being acquired by a larger competitor, you need to always keep in mind that the internals of how your software was built will be an important component of any future investor’s due diligence process.

\n

Understanding what these potential investors or buyers are looking for is important; however, good architecture and software design practices will also pay big dividends in the internal operations of any company.

\n

This is a sizable double benefit for something that can be built into the software development process from the get go.

\n

Below you will find some interesting resources discussing the current thinking and best practices around the area of Technical Due Diligence.

Due Diligence: Assessing Before the Acquisition

Acquiring a technology company requires special attention.  Ramkumar argues that what you don’t know will almost certainly hurt you.  Technical due diligence has now become part of the acquisition ritual.

\n

A typical letter of intent, or agreement of terms, includes a contingency clause that permits the buying company to perform technical due diligence to examine the software assets being purchased.

Trends in Testing Automation

\n

Testing is seen as something quickly done at the end of a long software development effort.  Believing that the bulk of the effort should be devoted to development, and not to quality assurance, often results in delayed deployments, loss of business, unsatisfied customers, and potentially even litigation.

\n

Thankfully, the world is coming around to seeing testing as a must-have capability to avoid these problems, especially as CI/CD continues to become the standard software deployment practice.

\n

DevTestOps, autonomous test automation, AI/ML supported testing and crowdsource testing are some of the newest areas in automation testing we are seeing out there.

\n

Below you will find some interesting articles discussing the state-of-the-market in testing automation.

A test automation system coordinates testing concerns, including managing test data, running tests, and tracking results. Test automation is the next step for teams that are becoming overwhelmed by the burden of repeating the same manual tests over and over again.

Focus on Productivity

\n

IT professionals across the board are now faced with the ultimate challenge.  How to help their businesses maintain productivity and engagement in a workforce that has been forced away from a central work office location.

\n

Some of the new technology challenges include:

\n
    \n
  • How to secure remote access to the corporate technology infrastructure and information (e.g., VPN, SSL VPN, DirectAccess)
    • \n
  • How to deliver and maintain a reliable infrastructure at employees’ remote work locations (e.g., Internet access, computers)
    • \n
  • How to increase collaboration (e.g., Slack, Trello, Jira, Confluence)
    • \n
  • How to drive accountability and improve project management to make sure things get done (e.g., Asana, CommandHound)
    • \n
  • How to deploy people tools to manage recognition, rewards, culture, and engagement (e.g., Preciate, Kudos)
    • \n
\n

In this edition of the MangoChango Newsletter, we explore the world of challenges facing IT professionals in this new distributed and highly collaborative environment that is here to stay.

How Technology Is Changing the World During COVID-19

\n

By Deloitte Digital

\n

Every industry is being challenged to quickly adapt to this new world. And leading that charge, from online ordering systems to video chatting, is technology.

\n

But technology can’t do it alone. In order to truly pivot to a more digital organization, companies must have an agile backbone of organization, people, and systems that can easily shift gears, adapt to new technology, and take on what’s yet to come.
