Rapidly Scaling Your Business Using The Cloud

With the rapid growth of digital companies and startups over the last few years, the need for an agile and fast scaling technology infrastructure is a must. The technology backbone needs to be able to easily handle vast spikes in traffic, while reducing costs during traffic dips. With features such as , applications are able to rapidly deploy new instances and scale horizontally.

However, not all applications are built to seamlessly scale, which is why developing for scale and principles have become a must for every engineering team. Most modern applications today are able to scale up to hundreds or even thousands of instances rapidly, being able to handle even the most severe peak times. In addition, integrating with cloud hosting companies such as , and enables the latest infrastructure technology across the entire stack. Alfa Digital has helped many companies transition their infrastructure using the power of cloud and has prepared them for their next stage of rapid growth.

has evolved during and will evolve further over the coming months, as preferences continue to re-adjust. For companies, ensuring customer-centricity in these times is absolutely crucial. What can businesses do to stay up-to-date and listen closely to their customers’ evolving ?

In one of our recent engagements for a leading retailer, we implemented an -driven solution to track and analyze across the company's products using Natural Language Processing ( ). There is tons of qualitative customer chatter online - product-specific and brand-level - which we analyzed in a structured and quantifiable manner, to help the company gauge customer feedback most effectively. For that retailer, the AI-led NLP-solution helped identify and adapt to what their customers were looking out for during the pandemic:

1. Request for more home-deliveries in certain pin-code areas
2. Anti-microbial textile products
3. Higher washing temperatures on clothing ( 60-degree Celsius+)

Customer-centric insights like these help companies make highly informed decisions, improve operations, and optimize their product offering significantly.

How do you get your company's backbone right? The 3 main parts of any analytics environment are the (where data is stored), the or (to make & view reports or explore the data) and the (Extract, Transform, Load) layer (where we bring in the raw data from all our separate systems).

Even if you have a great setup and with a layer that allows you to easily explore and pull insights from your data, your and at times the most complicated step can be pulling in the raw data. (Extract, Transform, Load) is an automated process that takes raw data, extracts the information for analysis, transforms it into a format that serves business needs, and loads it to a .

While has reigned supreme for many years, companies are pushing to get data in front of analysts as quickly as possible. This has pushed the rise of the (Extract, Load, Transform) approach. pushes the transformation of the data further downstream. This leads to a much simpler pipeline with minimal pre-processing. With the real-time data needs of many of today’s cutting edge businesses, traditional trends of batch processing data are being supplanted by the need for real-time data, where has many benefits.

Can Help your Business?

Most companies today have certain repetitive that still need to be performed manually by humans. or is a great alternative to automating these workflows. An RPA system can mimic user interactions on a system and perform multiple tasks like logging into applications, copying files & folders, filling forms, sending emails etc. The big difference is that since these tasks are now done by a "Robot" there are fewer chances for human error and the system can run continuously. Many organizations are adopting to automate multiple, complex but repetitive workflows that would otherwise have required large investments to automate. Adding elements of & ( ) to the system also allows modern tools to process error handling on the fly and adjust to even more complex and dynamic processes!

Was ist die langfristig ideale eines ? Antwort: Die Tech-Gewaltenteilung

Langfristig sollte daran gearbeitet werden, dass möglichst ein Dreigespann in der Technologie-Führung existiert: A) Jemand der den Ethos des Unternehmens vertritt und den End-Nutzer bzw das End-Produkt ganz besonders gut versteht (technischer Typ, Nutzer-/Produktspezialisten Typ), B) Jemand der die versteht (Technokrat, Architekten Typ), C) Jemand der die Durchsatzleistung des gesamten Tech-Teams erhöht und damit den Output des gesamten Tech-Teams (ob intern oder extern) maßgeblich steigert ( , Typ). Mithilfe eines solchen Dreiergespanns können oftmals divergierende Ziele bestmöglich balanciert werden: A) Ein vom Nutzer geliebtes Tech-Produkt („ Loved “), B) Hochwertige Technologien und skalierbare , C) Schnelles Time-to-market ohne " " im eigenen Produkt.

How do you prioritize and build the right use cases for your company?

Our team recently worked with a leading brand to take the guesswork out of their assortment, pricing strategies, and product launches. We set up an entire system from the ground-up and adopted data-driven methods across several geographies and market segments to develop a real-time analytics platform for retail pricing and product forecasting.

When your company's growing rapidly, it's easy to end up with many different disconnected 'islands' of information systems and data sources. A strong ETL pipeline that connects all the different sources and creates a central information dashboard is critical to get a 360-degree view of your business. In today's times, cannot be sidelined - it's business-critical to leverage data analytics, visualization, and machine learning, and prioritize the right use cases to accelerate growth!

devices are becoming more mainstay for industrial and supply chain processes, as companies look for better ways to improve efficiencies in their business. We recently used along with ( ) based data modeling to improve the fuel efficiency and reduce the costs of a logistics company. By installing sensors on each truck of the fleet we were able to collect about things like speed, fuel used, engine temperature, location etc, that allowed us to model how fuel efficiencies changed based on different environments. A 'connected' fleet no longer just transports freight but delivers data as well, and this data can be used to improve route allocations, fuel efficiency, and set up automated maintenance checks. Through our data modeling, we were able to identify the optimal average speed for each of the fleet’s routes based on road conditions and improve the overall fuel efficiency of the company. Today, as more systems and devices are able to transmit data, businesses need to be active in using that abundance of data to make informed decisions and accelerate growth.

: A game-changer for retail. Trust and transparency in a supply chain and in manufacturing is always a big question. The ALFA team helped a retailer build complete trust and visibility in their system to ensure using a public blockchain. We connected all agents of the supply chain to the end consumer allowing them to check the authenticity of each garment. Allowing users to see where each of the fabrics or threads on their garment was sourced and to readily lookup certifications greatly improve the retailer's brand image. The ecosystem allows us to easily solve problems of and certifications, results in cost reduction, and improves workflow management.
