SaaS, PaaS and IaaS: definitions and differences

We've already heard you say: SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, it's been a few years since these concepts arrived on our screens, so why write an article on the subject? Because, as overused as they may seem in 2023, these terms remain vague for some of us. So it's with no judgment whatsoever that we take a look at the key concepts behind cloud computing. What is "Infrastructure As A Service" (IaaS)? cloud computing can be divided into three models: IaaS refers to the basic elements of IT that can be leased: physical or virtual servers, storage and networking. IaaS is for companies that want to create applications "from scratch" and control almost all the elements themselves. It requires companies to have the technical skills to orchestrate these services.

How to test and improve your user experience - UX?

Companies call in experts to improve the user experience of their applications or interfaces, also known as UX. In general, this is often for redesigns or for certain performance problems on their digital solutions. More often than not, they offer a multi-stage service. UX audit First, a UX audit is carried out by user experience experts. This audit actually analyzes several ergonomic criteria on the site in question. This first step will help us understand what could potentially be blocking us. Most of the time, it's found to be a hindrance to navigation or the hierarchy of information on the interface. Usability testing Next, we need to test usability with existing users. This step will not only help us understand their point of view, but also pinpoint what might be blocking them. In addition, the test will determine why the solution is not being adopted by users. All in all, it will show what might be holding users back in their daily use of the interface. Then, to complete these audits and tests, it is possible to carry out large-scale surveys. This is only done if there are [...]

What's a project?

A project is much more than just a temporary organization of work. It is a vector of change within an organization, bringing together a team, resources and means to achieve specific objectives. In this article, we explore the nature of a project and its role in organizational change, highlighting its key characteristics and the deliverables it produces.
