Microsoft has invested in OpenAI to gain access to ChatGPT, and the company is now integrating generative AI into tools such as Microsoft 365. These AI-based copilots improve productivity and efficiency, especially in regulated industries where you find many recurring tasks and large amounts of data. Copilots help optimise workflows as financial or claims management tools. My blog post will take a look at Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365, a tool that is used in the banking and insurance sector, as one example of an AI-supported assistant.

The e-commerce landscape is subject to constant change and companies are faced with the challenge of finding innovative solutions that optimally fulfil current requirements. In this blog post, I take a detailed look at the SAP Commerce Cloud as an e-commerce solution and highlight the advantages over an on-premise solution or traditional software architectures.

Many companies develop their products based solely on their own assumptions about the target groups. Ultimately, however, these fail because they offer no real benefits to their users. Focusing on the topic of digital health, I will explain how product discovery can be used to develop safe and successful applications that both offer people real added value and also meet the regulatory requirements in this blog post.

Services have to inform each other about important business events, such as price changes or order events, in microservice architectures. These integration events are transmitted using methods such as message queues or HTTP POST requests. Guaranteeing consistency is critical to ensuring that events are only dispatched if the business logic in the sending service is successfully completed. The ‘event store’, which was inspired by Vaughn Vernon, does just that. In my blog post, I describe an implementation scenario involving Java using Spring and Spring Data JPA, where Spring application events play a different role than integration events.

Generative AI has been everyone’s mind since ChatGPT came on to the scene. But what exactly does this term mean and how is generative AI different from the well-established concepts of machine and deep learning? This blog post takes a general look at AI technologies and highlights the differences that make generative AI so intriguing and promising in an ever-changing world.

The term ‘fixed price’ raises a number of issues in agile development, since the scope should in theory be clearly defined. However, in practice, the requirements are often incomplete and subject to change. This can lead to uncertainty, different interpretations and, if worst comes to worst, the project failing. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at expectation management and the concept of scope. Along with that, we will also explore several requirements engineering methods that allow you to remain on budget and describe possible solutions in cases where your project is at risk of going over budget.

It came as a surprise to many SAP customers in the healthcare sector when SAP announced that it would not be integrating the IS-H solution into S/4HANA, as it presented them with a number of problems. It left them asking: what approach should I take to transform my SAP landscape into a strategic S/4HANA platform? I will answer this question in my blog post where I will also be presenting two transformation approaches – greenfield and selective data transition – in greater detail.

GenAI opens up great opportunities for insurance companies to generate value. Likewise, it is also becoming a key driver of their digital transformation. The rapidly evolving technology can be used to automate and speed up insurance processes and significantly improve the customer experience. From a financial perspective, insurers benefit from GenAI’s ability to more accurately assess risks.

How do you develop a highly available application that is both scalable and easy to maintain in today’s world? In this blog post, I will briefly explore approaches, methods and tools that I believe can be used to achieve this.
