🔎 Composability: What it is, Why it's essential, and How to get started. Businesses that best meet their customers' needs are more likely to outperform their competitors in the long term. However, with consumers becoming increasingly demanding and requirements changing rapidly, organisations face growing pressure to adapt quickly to compete effectively and deliver sustained value❗ In this LinkedIn article, Client Partnerships Executive Jens van Kerkvoort explores composability and how a modular approach to software development can help organisations swiftly adapt to evolving customer needs, driving greater value, faster. If you’d like to learn more about how we've helped organisations like yours become more customer-centric and accelerate value using composable tech, let Jens know or send us a message. #composable #modular #mach #softwaredevelopment #customer #consultancy

As customer needs continue to evolve at an ever-increasing pace, businesses are finding it challenging to deliver new digital products and feature releases to keep up with their requirements. This in turn is creating pressure on software development teams to deliver at the pace required. ⚠️ In this blog 'Data abstraction: move faster by ending system dependencies' by Product Developer Sinisa V., we take a look at data abstraction 🔍, and how decoupling data from its underlying systems can simplify the software development process, speeding up the release of new products and features, and thus driving greater value, faster. ⏩ 👉 Read the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/epiVZv6M #SoftwareDevelopment #DataAbstraction #DigitalTransformation #AgileDevelopment #TechInnovation #ProductManagement #BusinessGrowth #TechTrends #SoftwareEngineering #SystemIntegration #DevOps

User experience design is an innately “human” practice: it’s humans striving to cater to other human behaviors, needs, and emotions.🧠  So.. the idea that AI could not only assist in that process but directly improve it, can feel contradictory. Rest assured it’s certainly no replacement for a designer or researcher - nor will it ever be, but its role as copilot has quickly become an invaluable one. 🚀 From data-driven decision-making to early design validation, AI is helping get our products to market faster - and most importantly, with the right features. In this blog, UX and Product Principal Cees de Gooijer shares the opportunities, his vision for the future, and some important words of caution to take into your design process. 👉 Read the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/eWpGHMGp Do you agree? We would love to hear your view in the comments. #genai #uxdesign #product #digital #technology #upskilling #genai #copilot

GenAI – everybody’s talking about it, but plenty of organisations are still figuring out the right use cases to drive value for their business. With that in mind, we had a great time at the Fast Forward Insights Data & AI 2024 Conference, organised by CIONET Netherlands. It was fantastic connecting with digital leaders, exchanging insights, and witnessing how many organizations are beginning to implement GenAI. 🤝💬 We found the AND Digital-hosted talk show featuring Shirley Pfeiffer, Stephen Paterson, Daniel Gebler, & Bart Leurs to be very insightful, especially in addressing the challenges and essential digital skills required for successful GenAI implementations.💡 Additionally, we were pleased to highlight our collaboration with ARAG Nederland. Lisette Kaupmann & Jens van Kerkvoort gave a great demo on how the 'Legal Assistant' is enhancing operational efficiency and improving both employee and customer experiences using GenAI.
