Gazing in the crystal ball suggests there may be some dark ominous clouds lurking in our not-so-distant future, the relentless rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation will transform the workforce bringing about a plethora of societal concerns. As organizations embrace cutting-edge technologies, the rise of robots and smart machines will lead to unprecedented efficiency gains, windfall profits, and an economy in the throes of radical change. While this scenario may conjure up utopian thoughts, dystopian outcomes are more likely as societal challenges and unintended consequences begin to surface and take root. The Automation Revolution The widespread adoption of AI and automation technologies has ushered in an era of unparalleled productivity. Organizations, driven by profit motives, have replaced human workers with machines that operate tirelessly around the clock, never needing

Microsoft's Power Platform has emerged as a dynamic suite of tools designed to empower businesses in managing, analyzing, and automating their data processes. Among these, Power BI, Power Automate, Power Apps (both canvas and model-driven), and Power Pages are featured as the cornerstones of this alleged robust ecosystem. In this latest entry, we'll provide a summary of our findings from working with our clients and delve into a detailed ranking of these tools, exploring their strengths and limitations to help businesses make more informed decisions based on real-world experiences. Power BI: The Crown Jewel Undoubtedly, Power BI reigns supreme within the Power Platform, earning its title as the cash cow and leader. With its robust data visualization and reporting engine, Power BI transforms raw data into meaningful

The constant search for speed and efficiency in the field of data storage has prompted the development of creative storage solutions. In years past we saw the introduction of hybrid storage devices where traditional magnetic storage mediums were outfitted with additional solid state drive storage to offload frequently accessed smaller sized data. The hybrid storage approach was then accompanied with some embedded machine learning algorithms that would determine where data elements stored based on frequency of use.  If we were to imagine taking the hybrid storage to another level and offering a third and significantly faster storage medium to the build, the question from a machine learning / software development perspective would be where we start in classifying the data according to its usage. It would seem an immediate and proven technique would see the use

Seeking top talent in the dynamic world of IT recruitment has led to some dubious practices that cloud the hiring process. The industry appears to have wandered far from the path of ethics, from the infamous term bingo to unethical tactics like name-dropping and breaking into private communications. Given those scenarios it is once again time to examine the dubious methods some IT recruiters use and ask if it's time to reevaluate the business case and justification of this important area of talent acquisition. Buzzword Bingo: A Flawed Matching Game One common complaint among job seekers is the prevalence of buzzword-based recruitment. Recruiters often rely on automated systems that match resumes to job descriptions based on a set of predetermined keywords. While this may seem like an efficient way to sift through large volumes of resumes, it often results in mismatches between the actual skills of the candidate and
