My new year’s resolution was to give up on reading Twitter and Facebook. I gave up on the feeds because they were making me angry.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs.

Seventy percent of US Fortune 100 companies have SAFe-trained team members involved in the development and delivery of software. It is safe to say (pardon the pun) that the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is permeating our industry.

I often meet with our customers to help them understand how to connect modern technology to business success. The ever-present question at these encounters is “Where do I start?” For them, they may understand that they need a data-driven strategy or the culture may aim to take a shift to being guided by data. These are often goals set by the executive team with little guidance on how to execute or implement.
