Infrastructure automation: 5 key trends CIOs are watching

More than 90% of companies will work with an automation architect by 2025, compared to less than 20% today, according to Gartner. The stakes of infrastructure automation are high for I&O (Infrastructure & Operations) teams. Indeed, more and more organizations, such as large corporations and small and medium-sized companies, are using infrastructure automation based on artificial intelligence (AI or Infrastructure Automation) and machine learning. The advantages are obvious: tasks previously performed manually (installation, configuration, maintenance of the infrastructure) can now be performed by software. This not only saves time, but also reduces errors. It is therefore normal that IT departments are interested in this and are starting to implement such solutions in the information system. It is a question at the heart of the competitiveness of companies. Gartner even popularizes the term hyperautomation, a notion that encompasses the whole trend around automating the entire organization, beyond the IT infrastructure. When it comes to IT infrastructure, there are several ways to implement an automation strategy. The Gartner study highlights the ones that inspire "the most confidence": VMware [...]

It guarantees a finished product that is both high-performance and reliable. Today's end-users are very demanding. Applications and services have evolved enormously, radically differing from their compartmentalized predecessors. Developers are now creating ecosystems of microservices. These programs offer unique functionalities and are designed to be interconnected. For the sake of usability, integration between them must be seamless. To achieve this, APIs are essential, as they provide an interface between all these programs. What is an API? An API is an intermediary between two applications. In concrete terms, it's a set of variables and protocols that enable simple data exchange with an existing application. Take a look at the 4 essential steps to choosing and implementing an API. Some examples of popular Microsoft APIs (source: RapidAPI) How does an API work? The API creates a connection with a software brick made up of a group of functionalities.

How do you secure your mobile application data?

How do you secure your mobile application data? In the age of hyper-connectivity, the issue of data protection is a constant in cybersecurity. There is no shortage of examples of massive hacking, as in May 2020 when a smartphone caller ID app reported a security breach. The personal data of over 47.5 million users was then exposed to theft. Today, the security of application data must be maintained throughout the entire Application Development Life Cycle (ADLC), long after the application has been downloaded by the end user. Rest assured: there are many ways to effectively improve data security on a mobile application, without compromising the user experience. Best practice no. 1 for securing data on your mobile application: analyze risks upstream An application's areas of vulnerability vary according to its architecture and functionality. It is therefore essential to carry out a preliminary risk analysis before launching a development project. To do this, make sure you know all the features of your future application: do you want to integrate a payment module? An identification system? Do you have a [...]

Application development: 4 ways to run an application project in 2021

In 2021, 4 types of application development will predominate. Each one has its own advantages and disadvantages. From Web Apps to hybrid applications, through native development and native generated applications, here is an overview of these application development models to help you define which one to choose for your project. The 4 main types of application development: native application, native generated application, hybrid application and Web App Contrary to popular belief, mobile applications are not on the decline, quite the contrary: they effectively meet the needs of many projects and users. Although there are others, here are 4 types of application development selected according to 3 criteria: popularity, efficiency and profitability. Native application development, to aim for excellence Native remains the main technology for mobile application development. It is simply a matter of using a specific language for each operating system to create the application from scratch on each platform. The development of a mobile application on iOS or Android differs and therefore requires 2 distinct projects, which requires a lot of time and resources. Technically, programming languages vary [...]

Kanban or Scrum methods: why choose?

Are you torn between Scrum and Kanban? You are not alone. These two agile methods, although complementary, are often confronted and are the subject of many questions within organizations that work in agile mode. So what are they? What are the differences in the approach? Which one is best suited to your organization? Why not a mix of both? That's what this article is all about. Kanban and Scrum: definitions The Kanban and Scrum methods have become the true standard-bearers of agility. It is therefore appropriate to recall the specificities of each. What is the Scrum method? Among the many agile methods based on the Agile Manifesto, Scrum is a method that focuses on collaborative project management and a short development cycle with a single goal: to optimize team productivity. In short, here are the six main pillars of Scrum: Iteration: we work on a short period of time (between one week and one month) marked by a series of activities concluded by a delivery. Incrementality: we work task by task in a progressive way. Adaptation: short cycles facilitate pivoting within the project. Transparency : communication and follow-up must be transparent to ensure that the project is carried out in a timely manner.

HDS Hosting: why is Azure a key partner for GHTs?

Health data is not personal data like any other. The legislator has taken care to provide a framework for the rules governing its hosting. HDS hosting, i.e. having received certification to be able to host health data, has been mandatory in any information system linked to the medical sector since 2018. Here's an article to find out more about healthcare data and the RGPD. At the same time, spurred on by the law modernizing the healthcare system, establishments are tending to group together in GHTs (groupements hospitaliers de territoire) in order to pool their resources and enable the patient to be placed at the heart of healthcare organization. The digital transformation that accompanies these groupings can be complex, particularly when it comes to unifying information systems and their architecture. cloud computing provides a solution for infrastructures; its benefits are even amplified by the use of remote applications. But healthcare information also brings with it heightened data protection constraints. Migration projects to Cloud services therefore require specialized business expertise. As holder of the Microsoft services contract awarded by the CAIH (Centrale d'achat de l'informatique hospitalière), Blue Soft Empower has developed solid expertise in the [...]

IS mutualization and regulation: Blue Soft Consulting has been supporting Klesia since 2016

In 2012, the Klesia Group was born from the merger of two players in the social protection sector. Since 2009, the European Solvency 2 directive has sought to make the insurance industry more secure, by requiring it to have a high level of equity to cover exceptional claims. For many players, this can only be achieved by joining forces. With this operation, Klesia has the necessary size and solvency to be a leading player in social protection, for many sectors of activity. Any merger calls for a pooling of means, resources and tools. The Klesia group quickly took action on several facets of its information system to bring coherence to the whole group, streamline flows and pool efforts. In a multi-project context, our subsidiary Ileo, a consulting firm specializing in insurance, supported the deployment of an insurance management ERP that has become a market benchmark. Rather than creating an "in-house" ERP solution, Klesia relied on Cegedim, a publisher specializing in the health and provident ecosystem, to build a solution that could be adapted to other market players. An innovative idea based on the sharing of production fundamentals, but one that required the utmost rigor at every level. For the recipe [...]
