How Design Thinking Can Be Used to Create Better Software

Design thinking is a holistic product design approach where thinking like the user is the focus and user satisfaction is the goal. It is a methodology that was made famous by David Kelley, the founder of IDEO at Stanford University’s School of Design. One of Kelley’s initial clients was Apple, which in 1980 tasked IDEO to develop a mouse for their radical new computer—the Lisa. IDEO developed a product so inventive that its basic mechanism and design impacts even today’s mechanical mouse. Design thinking requires a hands-on, user-centered approach to solve problems through its five-step process: 1. Empathize 2. Define

Offshoring Challenges and How to Solve Them

Offshoring is starting to look appealing to a lot of businesses. Apart from the obvious cost savings accruing from it, it provides companies with benefits such as the following: Increasing operational efficiency Giving access to diverse skill sets that are otherwise unavailable in house Adding more value to the onshore team Promoting business growth However, offshoring does come with risks and challenges. Here are some that you need to keep in mind: Planning While it is easy to offshore these days, it isn’t always a recipe for success. Offshoring will not magically enhance efficiency and improve a firm’s capacity. It

AI finds Use in the Field of Medicine

Artificial Intelligence is already used widely in the field of manufacturing, where deep learning algorithms are being used for the maintenance of machines in production processes and for predicting anomalies. So why not use AI to predict problems in the various complex systems of the human body? AI in the field of medicine is still at a nascent stage. With the use of AI, scientists are developing new ways of detecting diseases with incredible accuracy. So much so, that in the future we could have robots replacing certain critical tasks done by humans! Paras Lakhani and Bhaskar Sundaram at the

The rise of artificial intelligence in manufacturing

The manufacturing sector is being completely revolutionized by the rise of artificial intelligence. Take the example of the FANUC plant, in Oshino, Japan. The town, according to Forbes, is home to 9,000 people, and at any given year, the robots manufactured at that plant outnumber the humans by roughly seven to one. The FANUC plant is one of a kind where 24/7 production is a reality and advanced AI oversees the production of computerized offspring capable of machine learning and computer vision. Industry 4.0 We are currently in the age of Industry 4.0, which is marked by a significant transformation

Top 5 IoT technology trends

Updated October 2021 Internet of things (IoT) is the networking of devices, vehicles, and home appliances with electronics, software, and connectivity that allow the constituents of the network to connect, interact, and exchange data with each other. IoT involves extending Internet connectivity to traditional non-internet-enabled physical devices and everyday objects. With the rapid advancements of artificial intelligence and machine learning, IoT solutions have become extremely prominent in today’s society. Here are the top 5 IoT technology trends to look out for: 1. IoT Security The moment you connect an everyday object to the Internet or any sort of network, it

How Augmented Reality Changes the Way We Shop

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user’s view of the real world, thus providing a composite view. AR got popular primarily due to Instagram’s filters that put animal ears on our faces, and Pokemon Go, the game that superimposed the famous pocket monsters in our day-to-day environments. However, AR isn’t mainstream yet. Apple CEO Tim Cook said, “AR can be really great … We are high on AR for the long run; we think there’s great things for customers and a great commercial opportunity.” We know that the gaming space and the social

What is blockchain and how is it important?

In a world of contracts, transactions, and records that govern our economic, legal, and political systems, we are in dire need of a system that is faster, safer, and ensures privacy in the digital realm. Blockchain promises to do just that. A blockchain is a growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked using cryptography. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data. Blockchains are designed to be resistant to modification of this data. In the words of Marco Iansiti and Karim Lakhani, “The technology at the heart of bitcoin and other

What is Machine Learning and why is it so hot right now?

Machine learning is a sub-field of artificial intelligence wherein computer systems have the ability to inherently learn from data without being explicitly programmed to. Companies like Google, Yelp, Facebook, and HubSpot are using machine learning for various applications. For instance, Yelp uses machine learning to help their human employees categorize millions of photographs. Google’s famous neural network – The DeepMind aka the machine that dreams and produces psychedelic images – is an example of machine learning. Facebook is using machine learning in their messenger service to eliminate spam. In short, it is safe to say that machine learning is pretty
