DataArt is in the business of selling time to clients, time-to-market specifically. Let me explain how.
Time is an invisible resource that is part of each software project. Most of us think that we manage this asset just by having an established deadline. I’m afraid that is just the upper limit of using this valuable and precious resource.

DMEA, formerly known as conhIT, the leading digital health event in Europe, took place on 9-11 April in Berlin. DataArt participated as an exhibitor for the very first time.

Spahn made an appeal for an increase in the pace of development for digital health solutions. The three-day convention attracted around 10,800 visitors, 570 exhibitors and 350 speakers, and served as a platform for digital healthcare.

There are three misconceptions about the cloud. First, that it is secure by default; second, that you can migrate to it yourself; and third, that it’s water vapor.
Cloud in itself, as an infrastructure, is very secure. If Google, Microsoft and Linux experts cannot be trusted to do a good job then all hope is lost. They can be trusted, which is why cloud is secure. The best analogy to illustrate the concept is a country’s security. Borders are secured, monitored and patrolled – yet you still have to lock your car and home inside that secure country. The same goes for the cloud: you still need passwords, encryption, a firewall, etc.

I attended two insurance conferences in London this month in order to gain insight into what is driving the changes in their business. Insurance companies are all looking at technology as a way to improve the efficiency of their operations, but they all know that technology alone will not make a sufficient impact. Data is an organization’s biggest asset and the ability to use technology to harness that data and gain insights to better serve customer needs is also the key to successfully moving a business forward.

As legalized sports betting expands throughout the United States, the value of game data is growing exponentially. From managers and teams to sportsbooks and media agencies, virtually everyone in the industry now relies on sports data to prosper. In addition, experts predict that in-game betting will quickly become popular in the U.S. Companies that can allow bets on precisely when a goal is scored, who had the assist, and other specific details can increase their profile massively through enhanced fan engagement and the resulting growth in revenue.
