In this article, we explain the importance of process mining, and the steps involved in it. We have also compiled a list of software that businesses can use for process mining, comparing their capabilities and the ways in which they can be deployed.
In this article I talk about how the Coronavirus pandemic has affected the way in which businesses operate, and how teams can continue to collaborate effectively while working remotely. I have also compiled a list of collaborative software that businesses can use, comparing their capabilities and on which devices they can be deployed.
In this article I will list the capabilities of three cloud platforms for mobile app development, specifically looking at the ways in which they each enable the CI/CD process (the combined practices of continuous integration and either continuous delivery or continuous deployment).
The best approach to quality management of design deliverables is to use a framework for Design Delivery Assurance that produces a measurable set of assurance reports on a periodic basis. In this article we discuss best practice governance in an agile environment through the adoption of an Architecture, Design and Delivery Framework (ADDF), and the correct team structure. ADDF supports and complements GDS framework.
The best approach to quality management of design deliverables is to use a framework for Design & Delivery Assurance that produces a measurable set of assurance reports on a periodic basis. The quality is assessed against a set of design artefacts and ensuring a comprehensive set of quality assurance checklists have been implemented and that change requests are being assessed.

In this article we outline best practice on what constitutes a high quality E2E solution design.
Edge computing places content, data and processing closer to the applications, things and users that consume and interact with them. Edge computing complements legacy clouds. Technology leaders must be ready for this new edge revolution. In this article, we will explore… • What edge computing is, and which technologies help shape it • How edge computing can be beneficial • What the future holds for the edge and the cloud
There is nothing more important right now, than being able to keep the level of service required to support remote working. As an organisation matures, it inevitably becomes necessary to integrate its ITSM system with another, such as that of a vendor or a customer. This type of integration is known as eBonding, and allows for the seamless exchange of Incident, Change, Problem, and Service Request information.
Assurance, which is the continuous assessment of all aspects of the Programme performance is key to a successful Digital Transformation. Governance is the framework within which timely informed decisions are made. To achieve the Business Objectives, the Digital transformation Programmes must be assured by governance frameworks.
Do you really need Architecture Deliverables in Agile Transformation? The short answer is yes. Often, organisations that use Agile to deliver large transformation programmes come unprepared and have to spend valuable time and effort in redefining processes and artefacts to govern the programme delivery. This is also true for Architecture teams that are used to steer far from delivery activities and spend most of their time in defining roadmaps to their strategic architecture vision. In this article, we'll drill down in more detail on the Architecture and Design deliverables required to effectively govern a large Agile Transformation.
"Agile Architecture", as defined in the © Scaled Agile framework, "is defined by a set of values, practices, and collaborations that support the active, evolutionary design and architecture of a system. This approach embraces the DevOps mindset, allowing the architecture of a system to evolve continuously over time, while simultaneously supporting the needs of current users."
After the Pandemic struck, the world reliance on digital solutions has increased dramatically. Many businesses that were relying mostly on offline channels and manual labour were brought to a halt. Businesses that were already digitally-enabled saw a dramatic increase in volumes, making some Telecom and Retail organisations live "every day just like Christmas day". The Pre-pandemic digital transformation strategy was mostly focused on cost-optimization, increasing productivity or gaining a competitive edge. However, the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic has refocused minds towards maintaining essential services and supply chains, enhancing resilience, reducing human reliance with an increase in process automation, and also the development of new business sectors. Organisations see digital transformation as an effective response to this crisis.
