BYOA

Ok, the article, mentioned in the previous POST, interprets the BYOA concept differently. It focuses on the existing external applications.

I would not go that far for the first steps. Of course that would be great, but it takes a lot to consider as he also describes in the article. Big, multinational companies are far more robust to achieve, consider this in a reasonable timeframe.

So what we can do to enhance our productivity?

The problem in these huge companies they try to centralize everything to save cost. But as they say "The common horse is worst shod.", what is planned to be good for everyone, will be good for noone.

I don't say that companies should not develop, procure applications, but what the CIO needs to focus is to get only such application on board which has a open API (preferably thru some kind of webservice).

These open API allows that local units to streamline the processes better to the local way of working.

This is far more achievable what the author is stating in the article. All you need a collague or a univerity student with software development skills and a boss who oversee the benefit for it.

I will list some real life examples, happened to be implemented by me.

I am back. After so long time

What happened?
I became a project manager (not forgetting my developer roots), so i see the world from a different angle.

Just to see this almost forgotten blog. After 7 years so much the technology changed.
Today javascript, node.js, angular, Scala are the key technologies. Yes, there are some others, but for now these are the ones i am interested.

And what i will write about?
