The way forward for these enterprises with a hybrid SaaS and on-premise applications lies in simplifying application integration. Businesses must adopt an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) software to aggregate, integrate, and manage cloud and non-cloud services reliably. iPaaS systems enable organizations to unify applications, integrate cloud data, manage application programming interfaces (APIs), automate workflows, and visualize business intelligence.

When it comes to corporate social responsibility initiatives, tech companies have typically focused on making product donations to nonprofits struggling with limited tech budgets. These donations often include refurbished computers and discounted or free software licenses. 

The fields of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) have always thrived on collaborative design. From building information modeling to architectural rendering, designing the built environment takes a combination of different perspectives and skills.

Late last year, I laid out the top seven fintech trends for 2020. Typically, trends reveal themselves over longer stretches of time, but the rapid spread of COVID-19 and the subsequent shift to a remote world has prompted an acceleration for some.

The return on investment (ROI) is impossible to calculate for cybersecurity solutions. For such solutions, value isn’t found through dollars saved or deals closed; value is found in unobstructed disaster avoidance and a sense of trust for employees, partners, and customers.

Many people want to design their applications but they can’t due to a lack of coding skills.

The global trust revolution is here (and much sooner than expected). Is your company ready?

Over the last few years, businesses have started to understand that in order to retain customers and drive more predictable revenue, there needs to be better alignment with customer data across departments that are involved with influencing revenue.
