Is utility more important than usability? When evaluating SharePoint 2013 specifically as a collaboration platform, this question is often top of mind. The Metro user interface in SharePoint 2013 is a refreshing update to this mature platform, but usability goes deeper than just the front-end theme. A good user experience is both subjective in relation to the user's own experience and situated in the context of use.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Consciously Consider Early Adoption. ravi.kumarv@cgi.com. Wed, 02/20/2013 - 07:00. At Logica, now part of CGI, my job is to advise CIOs on how they can realise the greatest net value from the adoption of disruptive technology trends. We’re happy with our methods for most of the talked-about trends (analytics, social media, mobility, cloud…). But we need to keep horizon-scanning too, so the question naturally arises: How soon should we adopt the next major trend into our method?

Geopolitical risk is now at the top of the agenda for CEOs. But tracking it can be difficult. The world is more interconnected than ever, whether in terms of economics and supply chains or technology and communication. Geopolitically, however, it is becoming increasingly fragmented – threatening the operations, financial well-being, and security of globally connected companies.

Prevention vs. clean up. It’s a security question all financial institutions should ask themselves. When it comes to providing a trusted customer environment, banks are typically better at resolving problems stemming from non-predictive authentication and fraud than preventing them. That’s because they continue to allow criminals to get their foot in the door.
