Accelerate Your DevOps Journey by Leveraging Service Virtualization

Customers are demanding new software products that are easily customizable and more functional and capable than the previous edition, which has presented DevOps with new hurdles. Customers desire these things in the present and at a low cost. In contrast to what they demand, software development has historically been beset by large expenditures and protracted development durations. Fortunately, service virtualization is making it simple and constraint-free for DevOps to satisfy customer demand.

3 Intriguing Data Annotation Use Cases that Zastra is Ready to Solve

Data annotation is one of the principal factors in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). As technology is advancing at a fast pace, almost all industries will need to make use of data annotations to keep up with the trends. The use cases for data annotation and encompassing computer vision are enormous.

Overcoming Data Security Challenges in Cloud Computing

As we transition to a cloud computing architecture, data security and privacy must be given top priority. Data loss or data leakage can negatively affect an organization’s brand, reputation, and customer confidence. Data misuse is possible when multiple organizations share resources. Therefore, it is essential to protect data repositories as well as the data that is involved in processing, transport, or storage to reduce risk.

Why Your Organization Should Move from Business Intelligence to Decision Intelligence

There has been a lot of buzz around decision intelligence (DI) recently. By 2030, 70% of firms, according to McKinsey, would employ decision intelligence in one way or another. Organizations are more likely to be data-driven as the popularity of big data and cloud computing continues to soar. Organizations who earlier desired to be data-first entities are now searching for more beyond merely being data-driven due to new difficulties and keeping competitive at the forefront.

Quality Engineering for the Digital Enterprise: Overcome the Challenges of Security, Speed, and Quality

Businesses need to reimagine the what and how of quality when they implement digital at scale. Quality today encompasses more than just functioning; it also includes customer experience and regulatory compliance. The path forward demands reimagining QA to ensure success in digital considering the increasing adoption of DevOps, Agile, and the influx of AI. Strong quality assurance is crucial as businesses streamline, upgrade, and secure their legacy environments for the digital era.

Agile Maturity Model: Measure and Improve Agility

An agile maturity assessment is an exercise/tool to evaluate the current state of agile maturity and check on how successful the agile implementation is in an organization. The Agile maturity model clearly captures the areas for improvement and establishes goals to upscale the way your team works to adapt to business changes efficiently. Agile adoption statistics show the significant growth of 86% in Agile adoption within software development teams.

The 4 Benefits of Tokenization in Digital Payments

A token is a value that goes securely through the network to process payments without exposing actual card data. Tokenization aims to replace or represent specific sensitive information without compromising its security. The 16-digit payment card account number is replaced with a unique digital identifier, or the “token,” for mobile and online transactions. The tokens are randomly assigned, so it’s near impossible to reverse-engineer or compromise a token.

Know the Finest Way to Accelerate your Data Annotation Efforts

A decade ago, getting data was a critical task in every industry. Today, we see data flowing into the organization’s database from everywhere. Organizations can access massive amounts of data from sales, marketing, customer experience, finance, operations, human resources, and other departments. The requirement of today is how to use this data efficiently and effectively.

The Capabilities and Importance of Accessibility Testing

In the growing digital landscape, it’s a significant challenge to meet and cope with customer expectations, changing trends, use of technology, and expand the user base for digital applications. Many applications today fail to realize their full potential because they do not consider the complete end-user requirements during the design and development phase. It requires an exceptional effort to create and develop new technology accessible to all users.

How Are the Latest Technologies Changing the Insurance Industry?

In current times, no industry can survive without adopting relevant technologies, and the insurance industry is no exception. Technology plays a vital role in the insurance industry. Technology is redefining the way traditional insurance business is being done and driving smart reinvention of workflows. Technology is now part of all the stages of the insurance life cycle, right from the policy advice stage to claim settlement.

Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC): Here is All You Need to Know

The ability to conduct offline transactions is a vital requirement for many countries where mobile data and intelligent devices are not accessible to a large share of the population. Accordingly, the need to establish facilities, tools, and mechanisms that allow transactions to be completed in an offline operational environment is relevant for any digital money, including CBDC., says Payel Ghosh, Associate Principal Consultant, Cigniti Technologies.

ModelOps, ML Validation & ML Assurance: The Next Frontiers of AI-led Digital Assurance

Like humans, Machine Learning (ML) models can recognize intricate patterns and anticipate the outcome of new data. On some natural language problems, ML models have even surpassed human performance. But much like people, ML models are susceptible to error. For every ML application in the real world, estimating how frequently a model will be inaccurate is essential. Intuitively presenting information and emphasizing the best ways to enhance a model are equally important.

Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC): Here is All You Need to Know

As the name suggests, CBDC is the central bank-issued digital currency. It is an electronic form of sovereign currency that will appear as a liability on a central bank’s balance sheet just like physical currency. Instead of printing money, the central bank, backed by the central government, issues electronic coins or money. CBDCs are not meant to replace cash but to coexist as additional payment methods. CBDCs should be exchangeable at par with cash.

Make Data Visualization More Powerful and Engaging with Animation

Information that can be seen has always been valuable. Whether it was in the distant past when early humans lived in caves or in the world of data today. Using visuals to support information simply makes it more accessible to its target audience. Today, pictograms and motion graphics are crucial for communicating information. Infographics make life easier and contribute to our knowledge of the world and the information we read.
