7 best practices to get the most out of your cloud environment

Flexible scalability, the right toolbox for business logic, the availability of specialists, data-driven work and appealing pricing. These are some of the reasons why companies are increasingly turning to public cloud integration platforms to build their business and integration layer – better known as iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service). Like Microsoft’s Azure Integration Services (AIS), for instance. Technology Director Friso Geerlings zooms in on the power and practicality of Azure, especially for business integration and processes.

XM Cloud est le CMS du nouveau DXP composable de Sitecore. Il s’agit d’un développement de leur CMS original, mais avec des différences notables. C’est un SaaS dont la maintenance est plus simple. Il est plus rapide et plus facile à développer, et aussi beaucoup plus facile à utiliser pour les éditeurs de contenu, tout en étant toujours aussi puissant et polyvalent qu’auparavant. Ainsi, lors du lancement d’une nouvelle implémentation Sitecore, le choix de XM Cloud par rapport à la plateforme DXP d’origine est une évidence. Mais qu’en est-il de la migration de votre implémentation existante vers XM Cloud ? Il n’y pas de trajet de mise à niveau fixe, et votre position de départ aura une grande influence sur le chemin que vous souhaitez emprunter, ainsi que sur les considérations commerciales qui sous-tendent une telle migration. Dans cet article, je partage avec vous mon point de vue sur les principales différences, les défis, les avantages, les préoccupations et les approches possibles pour un trajet de migration, ainsi que tout ce que vous devez savoir et prendre en compte avant de vous embarquer dans ce voyage.

MACH : Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native and Headless. Un concept soudainement sous les feux de la rampe. Bien que, pris séparément, chacun de ces éléments soit bien connu et pas vraiment nouveau, un concept global est désormais associé à cette vision technique. MACH constitue-t-il le nouveau Cloud, et pourrait-il être aussi influent que SaaS, ou est-ce lui accorder trop de crédit ? Friso Geerlings, Technology Director chez iO, prévoit que MACH représentera un défi complexe, mais qu'il apportera également beaucoup de valeur aux entreprises qui se concentrent sur une expérience client incomparable et omnichannel.

MACH n'a rien à voir avec une plateforme classique (on-site ou IaaS) en termes d'exigences organisationnelles. Avant d'explorer les possibilités de travailler avec MACH ou de commencer à le faire, chaque organisation devrait se poser plusieurs questions.

Today, structural IT decisions often require substantial investments, but they are also more important than ever when it comes to achieving your business objectives. The right vendor choice is not only important in terms of set-up and implementation, it is also essential to remain future-proof. Scalability and flexibility are necessary for the continuity of your business and structural IT decisions you make are the basis of this. There are two modern ways to achieve this: with serverless and with container technology. Serverless requires less infrastructure and networking knowledge, whereas container technology is less vendor-dependent. In this blog, we will explain how container technology can offer a solution.

Financial Institutions (FIs) like banks, payment service providers and insurers, operating in a highly regulated market, inhabit an atmosphere of constant tension between 'legacy' and 'state-of-the-art' ideas when it comes to user experiences, software, and application deployment & infrastructure.

Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native SaaS and Headless have secured their place ​​in the business world. These concepts have existed in their own right for some time and are already fairly well known, but the umbrella term MACH is new. Will it soon be mentioned in the same breath as Cloud and SaaS? And when will it be worth investing in it? Find out in this white paper.

The composable approach to architecture is known for its flexibility, scalability and the freedom it offers.

Composable architectures are gaining traction and credibility as the most efficient way to respond to future user expectations. Unlike a suite approach, where a single vendor supplies all the software components you need, composable architectures focus on composing small, loosely coupled components and using existing best-of-breed technology that can be integrated to form innovative solutions and work together to supply the optimal customer experience across different channels.

From Van Eyck’s brothers' Ghent Altarpiece to Rock Werchter: the Canon of Flanders is finally here.

Organisations often store user data on their websites and apps, usually in the form of cookies. But every organisation has to be transparent about how they handle this data, and let users know if their data is shared with external parties. A Consent Management Platform (CMP) can help with this.

You may not have noticed, but a lot has changed in terms of analytics and tracking over the past five years. This is partly because we've already grown accustomed to many changes, and partly because their impact has come very gradually. Half a decade ago, no one knew of the existence of a cookie banner, a year later everyone thought they could never get used to it, and today we don't know any better. We've made serious strides in terms of data regulation, and perhaps the biggest steps are yet to come in 2024.

Does the name Leonhard Huizinga still ring a bell for anyone? Once a popular Dutch writer, now forgotten. He made his debut in 1936 with the book 'De Gestroomlijnde Wereld'. Already a wanderer at a young age, Huizinga's book opened an unknown world to many readers. An exotic world, which seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, because it was more accessible by car, train, boat, and airplane. Faster, more comfortable and with more and more streamlining — quite literally. Curious, boundless, full of wonder. Not realising, as early as 1936, that over that same world lay the shadows of tomorrow.

Every new era requires new fuel, and the AI era is no exception. Simply collecting raw data is not enough to effectively utilise generative AI – you also need to process and interpret the data. The vector database bridges the gap between data and AI, enabling valuable output and optimal customer experiences. In this article in our ‘Get a taste of AI’ series, you will learn how vectors work and gain the tools to apply them in your daily practice. The term “vector” may not be familiar to the general public, but its impact certainly is. Vectors provide more accurate results and recommendations in search engines and recommendation engines, improving the user experience. They add context and relevance, making the difference between a positive and a negative experience. But how does this work exactly? And how can your organisation leverage vectors for AI?
