    Redesign for the cloud – horizontal scaling

    Peter Paul van de Beek, Peter Brouwers, on 26-09-2019
    Category: Podcast Tags: Architecture Scalability cloud Podcast redesign

This time we dive into “Redesign for the cloud – horizontal scaling”. In an earlier episode we discussed how we moved our Big Data to the Cloud, in the Cloud as an enabler to becoming more data-driven.

    Interaction Design – Celebrate Failure

    Peter Paul van de Beek, Peter Brouwers, on 21-08-2019
    Category: Podcast Tags: UX Innovation skills Podcast Fail Failure Learn

    Where do we learn most in our lives? When things that we do succeed, or when we do stuff and they don’t turn out how we expected? They “fail”. Exactly, we can learn a lot from our failures. How does this relate to Tech? Or, to be more precise, how does that relate to the design of the webshop? And how do we know if we succeed or fail, is it a gut feeling or do we learn through structured research? In this episode, we explore the theme of success, failure and learning together with…

    Peter Brouwers, Peter Paul van de Beek, on 7-08-2019
    Category: Podcast Tags: BigData DataScience cloud Podcast Business Intelligence

    Cloud as Enabler to become more data-driven. The adjective data-driven means that progress in an activity is compelled by data, rather than by intuition, personal experience or a gut feeling. Googling data-driven gives you over 637 mln. results so time to add an extra result to this with this episode. But we wanted to make it more specific.

    Agile at Scale. Ever since we started our journey into Agile and scrum, we have been wondering whether we were on the right path for business and IT agility.
