Unlike analysts at the large firms, who have to specialize in narrow market segments to avoid stepping on each other’s toes, we at Intellyx have the luxury of covering cross-cutting topics that align with business needs.
One of our tools in trade: looking closely at how two different markets interrelate and thus provide business value. In today’s Cortex, I’ll consider the relationship between low-code and cloud-native computing.
Defining the Terms Low-code tools simplify and accelerate the work of professional developers by providing a visual model-based environment for creating applications. Low-code frees developers from most of the burden of hand-coding integrations, security capabilities, and other ‘plumbing’ code so they can focus on higher-value tasks centering on business needs.
Cloud-native computing extends the best practices of the cloud to all of enterprise IT, including horizontal scalability, elasticity, subscription-based delivery models, and more. Hybrid IT, edge computing, zero-trust security, and DevOps are all part of the cloud-native computing story... | |

Intellyx Whitepaper for SoftIron, by Jason English | | | |
Shining a light on the security and sovereignty of computing systems and storage.
Most high-tech OEMs and service providers are powered on hardware and software that could be compromised at its root level by a tiny chip intentionally implanted by state operatives, or an accidental inclusion of malware from a downloaded bit of code.
The world’s largest institutions don’t want you to focus on how widespread security exploits are in the complete end-to-end supply chain for all of the high-tech products involved in their operations, because it’s bad for business.
This paper will educate you on the reasons why transparency into the origins of our hardware and software is important for assuring the integrity of critical systems and data, and how your enterprise can address this challenge by passing the test of secure provenance. [Read more] | |

Intellyx BrainBlog for Kemp Technologies by Jason English | | | |
We’ve seen many of the technology advances described in the Star Trek milieu become reality over the last 50 years, from personal communication devices and instant translators, to GMOs, medical robots, 3D printing and weapons that stun.
But, ah yes, the matter transporter. By far, the invention that captivates us most.
If you could say “Beam Me Up” and have Scotty or Geordi instantly transport your whole body from a hostile planet back to the spaceship in orbit, with mind intact, how cool would THAT be?
Most of us would be thrilled to transport our way past the next traffic jam.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing matter transport arrive anytime soon for personal use, but it already exists for a critical part of your application experience. Look no further than the load balancer appliance, once confined to a... [Read more] | |

During a recent conversation, Ian Hawkins, editor at PEX Network sat down and asked Ed Maddock, CTO at iGrafx, and Charles Araujo, Principal Analyst at Intellyx the key question on everyone’s mind – What is digital transformation?
The interview opens with Charles’ contrary definition of digital transformation – and why it’s not about technology at all. He explains why instead it’s really about a shift in power away from organizations and to their customers. He discusses how organizations can lever technology to drive this business transformation that is... [Read more] | |

Agile has been around for 19 years already, and it’s now a “must” to say we work in an agile way. But frequently Agile becomes a pure marketing buzzword, and is not well mastered yet. Why? Because Agile has flaws we fail to recognize: it cannot be used anywhere, it cannot support any kind of projects, and it needs ideal teams that we don’t find at every street corner. Nevertheless, the heritage of Agile will continue to lead our software development future for a while, and for the good as long as we think “behind” agile properly. Please share your opinion on this subject, so we can better mitigate the hype with your daily reality!
In February 2001, 17 middle-aged white guys came together at a Utah resort and hammered out the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. And lo, Agile was born. … A lot has changed in those 19 years. Tools have improved, providing better automation and collaboration. The cloud has changed the landscape. And diversity is now a priority. Indeed, Agile has... [Read more] | |

I’m sorry, Emmett. Agile is Dead. Again. Apparently.
Someone sends me an “Agile is Dead” article at least once a year. Are these articles with their clickbait headlines just opinion pieces with no data to back up the authors’ claims or are they well-researched and thought-provoking journalism?

RPA Bots Too Brittle? Try Model-Based Low-CodeBy Jason Bloomberg, Intellyx Can a “low-code” approach to RPA relieve all the headaches associated with brittle scripted bots?
Excerpt:
The appeal is clear: automate an RPA ‘bot’ in order to mimic the user, simplifying the otherwise onerous task of hand-coding complex automations.
However, automation is not so simple. Most RPA solutions on the market suffer from a common weakness: brittleness. Any change to the application interface, business processes, or data formats breaks the bots, requiring expensive maintenance.
One approach to resolving this brittleness issue is to borrow an approach that spans the worlds of automated testing and low-code development: represent the behavior of bots as models that humans can easily create and maintain to automatically generate working automations without scripting...
