5 Ways the Role of the CIO is Evolving

If we wind back 10-15 years ago, the CIO’s primary responsibility was to select and manage IT solutions. Effectively a glorified IT manager, the typical CIO carried out routine IT tasks, with perhaps some additional work in the areas of security and operations. The classic corporate CIO straddled IT and business but it was definitely a case of ‘keeping the lights on’ - purely an operational role.

Making Progress With Infrastructure As Code

It has been almost two years since infrastructure software maker Progress Software spent $220 million to buy Chef, the open source automation tech vendor Chef that was helping to fuel the “infrastructure as code” trend. The deal enables Progress to push deeper into the DevOps and DevSecOps space with a company that over a dozen years had raised more than $100 million, collected more than 700 customers, and created a business model where more than 95 percent of its revenue was recurring.

Solving for scripts: Why IT should codify its fleet

What to expect from Progress360 2022

Finding the right DX platform doesn't have to include a trade-off

Digital transformation is offering organizations of every size the promise of a new way of doing business, delivering efficiency, cost savings and the opportunity to enhance customer relations.

However, there are so many aspects to the changes digital brings to organizations that business leaders can feel overwhelmed. This is why a Digital Experience Platform (DXP) has become an essential tool for progressive companies. DXP links the IT function, business processes and marketing, but its most critical role is to enable brands to create personalized digital journeys for their customers.

At the office, unrewarded work often falls to women

If there’s extra work to be done at the office, more often than not a woman ends up doing it.

Whether it’s planning a birthday party, taking notes, or serving on a committee, studies have found that women are more likely than men to take on service-oriented tasks, which usually come with little benefit to their careers. And the disparity is even more pronounced for women of color.

Managing Cloud Security Costs

Spiralling cybersecurity costs for businesses are mainly due to the rising use of cloud services in a world where data breaches and system outages are growing in prevalence and costs. Gartner predicts that 51% of spending across application and infrastructure software, business process services and system infrastructure markets will shift to the cloud by 2025, up from 41% in 2022.

The Rise of Composable DXP

How to Incorporate Accessible Design Elements into Mobile Apps

Accessible design is normal design. So the designers and developers of mobile apps should not draw a line between accessible and normal or usual design. Most people are likely to experience some form of disability—either temporarily or permanently—at some point in their life. Plus, we all make use of accessibility features at times—even if we don’t think of them in that way. If you’ve ever used your mobile device’s operating system in dark mode, zoomed or adjusted the size of text in a Web browser, or dictated text into Siri, you’ve benefited from your device’s accessibility features.

Security Is Still An Afterthought In The Cloud-Native World

The security landscape is evolving rapidly and navigating these complexities can be difficult. Although there is a growing awareness of security and building it in at the start of the development lifecycle, this is not always the case, and getting it wrong can lead to serious setbacks. There are also differences in how security is approached from the relatively mature private cloud infrastructure perspective compared to cloud-native applications.

Building in an Experimental Mindset in your Product Development Process

Experimentation is at the heart of innovation and while it is the norm in creative fields, it is not always the ‘go-to’ approach in business. Many associate it with failure – while your experiment might be successful, it might also fail – and in business, no one wants to fail. Consequently, many enterprise leaders often try to stay away from it. That is the reason why true innovation happens so rarely. But to create something new and unseen, you must get out of your comfort zone and experiment without knowing what lies ahead.
