The Developer Side of the Efficiency and Security Conversation
July 25, 2013
The ongoing conversation about efficiency in the enterprise can trace roots to several departments. It is a ubiquitous issue that every department has a vested interest in. A recent article, “Enhancing Enterprise Efficiency with IT Operations and Analytics,” discusses addressing productivity and efficiency from the perspective of IT.
The article describes a recent independent review that explained how Tulsa’s Information Technology Department had numerous inefficiencies. These bottlenecks ultimately prevented their department from providing acceptable service.
The article referenced above expounds on the issues mentioned in the review on Tulsa’s IT department:
The department is tasked with overseeing all electronic and communication systems for the municipal government, as well as managing its computing, mobile software and networking needs. Officials discovered that the 141-member agency had been woefully underfunded, inhibiting employees’ ability to monitor important tasks and properly identify potential issues. According to the news outlet, some of the software systems being deployed by the government included a 30-year-old police and courts record management system.
It takes collaboration between the business side and IT and developers to select, implement and deploy the right solution for any particular organization. Developers have the insight into nuanced semantic features in analytics solutions currently on the market; that knowledge is necessary for knowing if the expected use cases will pan out as expected. One solution we have been keeping tabs on is Cogito API, which offers government, intelligence, and corporate security clients oversight by extracting intelligence from data.
