Cloud computing can play a significant role in sustainability in several ways.  Optimizing the compute resources: Enabling the use of virtual resources instead of physical ones, which can lead to reduced energy consumption and a lower environmental impact. Cloud-based services can also allow for more efficient use of resources and better resource utilization, which can further reduce the environmental impact. Remote Work and reduced CO2 emissions: The use of cloud-based services can facilitate remote work and collaboration, which can help reduce transportation-related emissions. Cloud providers also invest in renewable energy to power their data center, which can reduce carbon footprint. Hyperscaler energy efficiency: It's important to note that the sustainability of cloud computing depends on the practices of individual cloud providers and how energy-efficient their data centers and operations are. Additionally, energy consumption of the end user should be considered, for example,...

  The automotive industry is going through a major transformation, being on a path to recovery from the slowdown in the pandemic years and with the advancements in the connected technology space. The automobile industry has been guided by the acronym CASE (connected, autonomous, shared, electric) since early 2018.

  The restaurant industry is experiencing an unprecedented transformational change. Business disruptions from the global health crisis prompted the restaurant industry to restructure and diversify its operating model and digital portfolio in response to the shift of market trends and customer preferences. Elevated expectations for cleanliness, health, and safety are accelerating the adoption of contactless technologies, curbside pickup options, and mobile payments to minimize human interaction.  Gartner predicts  most organizations will leverage contactless technologies for up to 80% of their ordering and replenishment activities by 2024. Restaurant businesses must prepare to meet the operational requirements of the new normal and drive supply chain efficiency. Furthermore, restaurants should thrive to maintain brand loyalty by providing a seamless and differentiated omnichannel experience through enhanced digital capabilities. In this post, we will show you how Capgemini...

 What is App Modernization? You frequently hear the term - and this can cover and mean a wide set of things. If you are hampered by your legacy IT systems, you will be keen to take up an application modernization. This is an overall transformation towards a highly scalable and always-on IT ecosystem that changes the traditional project driven mindset of longer release cycles. You want to get away from siloed functions and thinking of quality and operations as an afterthought, to a mindset where you are delivering and operating applications frequently, with much smaller release cycles, improved quality and automations.  And delivering real business value - not just falling into a trap of measuring how many Story Points were delivered in each sprint. I've frequently seen Story Points as a false measure of business value  App modernization should provides benefits to an enterprise that accelerate their journey towards a truly digital business - for example - enabling them to...
