When business processes have grown inefficient or ineffective, they often present obvious pain points. Redundancies, duplicate efforts, tasks taking too long to complete, multiple data points - these are all symptoms of business processes that need attention. What comes next, however, is perhaps more interesting - when broken processes are repaired, or old processes are innovated against, new opportunities emerge that maybe could've never existed before. In today's episode we share real-world examples and illustrations of how custom software development can help improve business processes, ultimately creating benefits and opportunities where none existed before.

"Big Data" is something of a misnomer, a phrase that implies only big companies might benefit. Instead, think of "Big Data" as just....data, or information. You might be used to managing information in a spreadsheet or through multiple sophisticated systems. The more and better connected your information is, the more you can do with it to nurture customers, streamline processes, reduce inefficiencies, process work orders or distribution...the list goes on and on. In today's episode we develop an understanding of what Big Data is, how your company can benefit, and the essentials to putting Big Data to work for you.

Legacy Application Software is a software program that was written more than 5 to 7 years ago and seems to continue to work as intended. An important concept to note is that the software seems to continue to work as intended, which in many cases means it is not creating any problems in the company. This is not the same as modernized software that can solve new, relevant performance, productivity, or security problems. Legacy Software solves the problems of the past - not some of the comlex problems of today and tomorrow.

In today's episode we talk through the challenges and realities of maintaining old code, why it's sometimes necessary, and how organizations can better align their software and application needs to business goals and objectives.
