“ “These two roles are completely intertwined in a business that is customer-focused. The CPO and CTO should be focused on sharing similar business values and supporting each other, whether it be in terms of internal systems, external product feature sets or tools for personnel. Having cohesion across business and product offerings differentiates a customer-focused […]
“ “Living with” your customers at regular intervals does wonders for aligning your solutions with their needs. By regularly living in their shoes, you will understand whether or not what you’ve sold them is working and what problems they are experiencing on a day-to-day basis. It also builds exceptional team relationships when you can have […]
“ End-to-end encryption, multifactor authentication, and code and database reviews should be paramount when starting. If you can implement those three factors into a product or service from the ground up, you’ll usually have a strong foundation for more refined security later. Products that start out less secure typically implement security haphazardly later. It’s a […]
“ The use case is paramount. Web apps have become the new gold standard, as they can be responsive and work on nearly every device and OS. A ubiquitous experience is usually what businesses are after. If the use case is purely mobile and the app is heavy on UI or dependent on utilizing sensors […]

“ I see great promise in intelligent power routing and monitoring solutions. With the electric vehicle “gold rush” occurring, nothing is more important than the tracking, routing and scaling of electrical grids and subsystems. Everything that’s been done for the CCTV market over the last 30 years is needed in the electrical space. Digitization will […]
“ The general public thinks AI has intelligence and/or conscious thought. Today, AI is nothing more than a set of prediction engines—what pixel to display next, what word to type next. While extremely impressive, AI has no creative thought, nor does it have intelligence. We must remember that it’s a tool, and if it’s implemented […]
“ Establishing risk management processes is often overlooked. Having a workflow everyone—including members of the C-suite—is trained on helps limit the complexities of ransomware attacks. When you’re attacked, it’s all about time, limitation and response. Too often, the process takes too long, with not enough limits and either an overreaction or underreaction to the situation. […]
