In today’s digitally-driven business landscape, organizations need to create quality customer-oriented products at optimal costs through innovation and deliver them faster to the market. In doing so, they need to manage the complexity of technologies and processes. Digital engineering can enable organizations to achieve the above, foster collaboration among teams, make changes in real time, and ensure transparency across the value chain. It helps to improve visibility and facilitates the implementation of new strategies. Furthermore, organizations rely on resilient networks, a knowledgeable and connected workforce, and robust processes to drive the quick launch of new products and services. This entails interventions from digital engineering services in the areas of product design, IoT, containerization, data science, and others. Digital product engineering helps organizations respond positively to customer needs, build disruptive solutions, and focus on continuous improvements. The R...

  In the last decade or so, customer expectations have reached a feverish pitch, thanks to the preponderance of digital technology at every level. Customer interactions too have spread across devices, channels, platforms, and touchpoints. Given such a scenario, staying ahead of the competition with product differentiation is not enough. What is needed is to enhance the user experience to improve brand loyalty and recall. Here, software quality assurance goes beyond the functional testing of a specific application. It includes testing of non-functional parameters, such as compatibility, performance, accessibility, UI/UX design, usability, and security as well. And quality engineering is the approach to addressing the testing requirements of modern applications across a multitude of platforms, devices, and environments. Further, the requisites for enterprises cutting across domains to compete include accelerating product delivery to the market; delivering a world-class customer exper...

  Automation is slowly but steadily making its presence felt in every sphere of our lives. And when it comes to software development, automation is the way to develop and test a complex software build. Robotic Process Automation, or RPA, is an extension of automation wherein repetitive and voluminous operations are performed by leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning skills. An RPA framework allows businesses to develop quality software quickly and deploy it to the market. According to the market research firm, Gartner, global spending on RPA is expected to reach $2.9 billion in 2022. This represents an increase of 19.5 percent over the previous year. This would mean a spiralling demand for developers with RPA expertise. Let us understand what makes an RPA developer a hot career choice and much sought after for businesses. Fast growing global enterprise technology The growing complexity of systems and processes Low learning curve Better customer engagement and busin...

  With organizations embracing digitization in a big way, the generation of data has grown manifold. According to IDC, the growth of data will be humungous across industries, from 16 zettabytes to 160 zettabytes. The data being talked about is useful for businesses to draw insights, formulate strategies, and understand trends and customer behavior, among others. Even if collating, storing, analyzing, and working with such a sheer volume of data is challenging, it does not cover the whole picture. The fact that data is stored in silos and in the wrong format makes it a real challenge for enterprises to work with it, let alone make any sense of it. As per the Big Data and AI executive survey 2021 by NewVantage Partners, enterprises continue to struggle to extract value from big data. Consequently, only 48.5% of enterprises drive innovation with data, and only 41.2% compete on analytics. Also, only 29.2% of them have made an impact on digital transformation using data, and only 24% ar...

  As the dependence of business enterprises on digital technologies deepens, they are facing the challenge of delivering more high-quality software applications in a short time. To enable the same, employees across the hierarchy in an organization need to bring about a change in their work a la DevOps-led digital transformation. However, it goes beyond installing digital devices and incorporating software applications. Instead, it entails a cultural transformation driven by a change in mindset. Digital transformation can enhance the quality of services provided by an enterprise, improve productivity, streamline workflows, and increase efficiency. Even though there are plenty of ways for any enterprise to transform, the DevOps approach seems to be the right one. Any enterprise DevOps transformation deals with changing the cultural mindset, ushering in innovation and rapid experimentation, breaking down silos, and paving the way for consistent change. It helps enterprises meet the ev...
