Microsoft Ignite 2023: Becoming an AI-Powered organisation Last week’s Microsoft Ignite event marked a pivotal moment in the IT industry. As a frontrunner in enterprise technology, Microsoft emphasized the integral role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in empowering organisations and individuals alike. This evolution in technology is not just theoretical; it’s a reality that’s rapidly unfolding. In our view, it’s imperative for organisations to develop a strategic AI roadmap. Microsoft’s announcement of over 100 updates across the entire Copilot stack is a testament to the tools and technologies available to enhance business efficiency. As Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said, “Copilot will be the new UI that grants access to the world’s knowledge and your organization’s knowledge. But more importantly, it’s your agent to act on that knowledge.” He further stated, “Our vision is straightforward – we are the co-pilot company. We believe in a future where there’s a co-pilot for everything...

Sorry…. AI is not overhyped.

AI this and AI that, everyone is talking about it, and nobody is doing it…. And you might be sick of hearing about it, I can understand your frustration, it’s tiring, but unfortunately this is only just the beginning. AI is real, it’s here now and it’s powerful. The economic impacts for AI are so strong that if you are not doing it then you’re already getting left behind. GAI (Generative AI) could contribute as much as $115 billion a year to Australia’s economy by 2030 according to the Australian Generative AI Opportunity report done by the Tech Council of Australia. This economic uplift is not just through direct savings but also via the creation of new revenue streams and business models. The Concepting Challenge and Solution We work with business leaders in large companies across the globe and one of the biggest hurdles we find with organisations is finding the use cases, understanding the technology and how it can apply to their organisation. We think the easiest way to think a...

Navigating Data Management: A Critical Element in Modern App Development

Original article “ App Data Management ” by Eugene Kerner – Xam Principal Consultant. In the world of modern app development, where agility and user experience reign supreme, the significance of robust data management often takes a back seat. However, ignoring this critical aspect can lead to inefficiencies, unintended data use, subpar user experiences, data corruption, and even application crashes. In this article, we’ll shed light on the importance of designing effective data management strategies, focusing on three key factors: Data Transport, Data Modelling, and Data Lifecycle Management. Data Lifecycle Management: Nurturing Data from Inception to Retirement Efficient data management extends beyond the confines of your app; it encompasses the entire lifecycle of data, from its creation within the app to its storage, interaction with APIs, and usage by consumers. For the purpose of this discussion, we’ll focus on data management from the perspective of the client (app). Data Cl...

Five ways Generative AI is already copiloting work.

Generative AI assists workers in two key ways. First, by automating well-defined and highly repetitive asks, GAI allows workers to spend more time on the more complex aspects of their jobs. Importantly, this is likely to improve job satisfaction for all workers. Second, GAI can augment and assist workers to complete these more complex tasks. For example, the ability to suggest step-by-step problem solving instructions means GAI is guiding workers through new skills and new ways of approaching problems. The Developer While coding companions aren’t new, GAI powered companions surpass existing technology by being able to understand a coder‘s aims and suggest an entirely new approach to solving a problem. This allows coders to do more high-value thinking, including collaborating with product managers to think carefully about the desired end-user experience. Additionally, GAI can translate natural language to code, making coding a skillset available to all. Users of GAI coding companion...
