Lots of people still have reservations when it comes to transitioning to the cloud, especially when the conversation turns to the issue of data security. Complete transparency is an important promise that Microsoft makes to its customers, which is a crucial milestone in the right direction towards building a meaningful position of trust. In my blog post, I would like to give you an overview of the current efforts that Microsoft is making with regard to its cloud.

In the context of cloud strategies, terms such as cloud native, multi-cloud and cloud agnostic are often used. In my blog post, I classify these terms and show the consequences for companies.

In recent months, there have been many innovations in the market for self-service BI tools. In this way, innovative software products are making it possible to expand the user base of analytics applications. Our customers have also become aware of this development, which has led to us being commissioned to carry out a corresponding tool comparison. In our blog post, we would like to briefly describe the procedure used for this tool evaluation and then present the data preparation tools from the shortlist (Alteryx, Trifacta and Microsoft Power BI Dataflows) in more detail.

Agile approaches are now very widely accepted. Scrum is often used as a framework and fixed events (meetings) are specified, among other things. Projects in the insurance industry often employ an agile approach, too. Despite that, employees and stakeholders sometimes harbour prejudices. I used to be project controller in a previous life, during which time I was involved in an agile project and was confronted with prejudices at the beginning. In my blog post, I would like to talk about prejudices and my own practical experiences regarding agile approaches based on Scrum.

Many companies are launching digitalisation projects right now, partly driven by the Covid-19 pandemic and partly by advances in technology. But where is the best place to get started? The digital maturity check is a great first step to uncovering the potential and new opportunities of digitalisation at a company and can serve as the starting point for new projects based on insights gained during the check. In my blog post, I will take a closer look at the digital maturity check.

Is personalisation on the Internet a topic of the future? Actually, it’s already a major topic now and is set to become even more important in the future! In this blog post, I will describe how you can profit from AI-powered personal communication and set your business and its products and services apart from the competition.

The past year clearly shows that more and more digitalisation projects are being implemented and companies are coming under pressure to think even more digitally and tap into further potential. To accompany this process, adesso already offers a more condensed Quick Check in addition to its holistic Digital Maturity Check. The Quick Check allows companies to obtain an initial self-assessment of their digital maturity. We present this in our blog post.

User experience is the key to a satisfied customer. Unfortunately, providing a budget for this ‘key’ always seems to be too big a hurdle for managers who are interested in numbers. I would therefore like to present some UX KPIs (User Experience Key Performance Indicators) here that show, based on numbers, how UX can be measured and what these key figures reveal. This may convince more number fans to invest in UX in the future.

Digitalisation, transformation and agility are appearing on many organisations’ agendas more and more. But quite a number of these organisations aren’t sure what digitalisation means for them. In my blog post, I present the strategy requirements, the various fields of action and the success factors needed to ensure that an organisation’s transformation project succeeds.
