Cloud storage has changed the way we store, share and collaborate online. It is regarded as a secure, simple means of accessing data from anywhere at any time.

We’ve heard the terms before, and we sometimes give a knowing nod in a meeting to make it seem like we understand what was said. But if you’re a little shaky about what these things are and how they might help your business, then I’ll try to explain it in a simple and applicable way.

Microservices and APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are both important for developing new applications and improving existing ones. Although there can be some overlap between the two, they are different things and serve distinct purposes. When put together, APIs can help microservices and legacy systems connect and co-exist to improve IT agility.

Ensuring that disparate IT systems work well together can be quite a challenge. When various IT systems work in synchronisation, they can communicate with each other. This then empowers the company to eliminate unproductive silos, improve operations and throughput, boost efficiency, and of course, reduce costs. To achieve all these goals, systems integration and integration services can be a game-changer.

Marketing Resource Management (MRM) is a set of software tools that supports strategy and workflow optimisation for marketing departments.

As customer expectations shift in the digital age, speed and accuracy of information are becoming all the more essential for businesses of all kinds.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Digital Asset Management (DAM) offers numerous benefits, such as image text recognition, video transcription and machine learning capabilities. While AI is a powerful tool in DAM systems, it is not without its faults and requires, in some cases, a human behind the scenes ensuring it is behaving as expected.

System integration can resolve modern business challenges by placing a variety of information subsystems into a unified application mesh; it can make a supply chain more efficient, operations smoother, and enable faster vendor communication. If you want to sharpen your competitive advantage, you need system integration.
