Today, new software development studios are based on selling measurable quality. This is due to the fact that the software has been professionalized and building a quality brand is closely linked to being recognized in the software market.

Development studios do not simply offer code, but also a relationship and a different way of working that make them unique within the consulting ecosystem.

A software studio can be a perfect match, and that's what hands-on managers appreciate. A development studio's ambition is to grow together with the client. Establishing a process where both have a close, sincere and trusting relationship.

Today is difficult to retain talent. Talent is possible because there is innovation, and exploration and that frequently means working on different products.

Outsourcing software projects can help organizations to use better their teams. By outsourcing, companies can dedicate their talent to their current domain knowledge while leaving the development of things beyond their knowledge to an experienced and reliable external partner. This can help to put the efforts into known tasks, bringing more value into their domains.

Working with a software studio tasks tend to be explicitly detailed, being that definition precise, and concise. This is because you always seek to be efficient in the definition and the solution, looking for the most efficient workflow. That's why, in a natural way, the system built has brilliant documentation.

A software studio can be a partner for more years than a person. The synergies and relationships established with companies go beyond people because they create systems.

One of the main advantages of outsourcing software projects is the quick time to market. When you outsource your project, you are able to take advantage of the expertise and experience of the company you are working with. This can help to speed up the development process and get your product to market faster, avoiding common pitfalls that could cause preventable delays or rewrites.

An external company can be an escape hatch from a bureaucratic environment that ends in eternal and painful releases. Our experience tells us that many processes are closely linked to a pre-established culture that is difficult to change internally.

The use of the latest technologies is one of the advantages of trusting a software studio. The service providers have access to a wide range of tools and technologies, which can be used to develop the project as per the client’s requirements. This way, the client can be assured that their project will be developed using the latest tools and technologies.

Besides, introducing new technology to a company is hard and difficult. Many employees are reluctant and innovation can cause friction. An external company can be a less aggressive step to introduce new technology in a more friendly way.

When you outsource your software project, you will be working with a team of experts who have likely worked on similar projects in the past. This gives you the opportunity to learn from their experience and get insights into how they approached the project. Additionally, you will be able to build relationships with other teams who can provide support and feedback during the development process.

Today outsourcing is a reliable alternative. In a highly competitive market, where talent is scarce, outsourcing and partnering can make a difference. This implies an open mindset, not only on the part of the company but also of the in-house software engineers to understand external companies as partners at a point in the road.

Outsourcing may not fit into some company cultures, but those that are naturally able to adapt and partner will have a huge competitive advantage over closed systems.

Outsourcing in a modern software culture

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is not about new Apps or new technologies. It is about a new era, new ways of thinking, and new ways of doing business. ― Nicky Verd, Disrupt Yourself Or Be Disrupted

improvements in productivity and automation, resilience and agility, adaptability to the market or the economy, and sustainable and scalable solutions

If we observe how the industry has changed in the last 20 years, where to manufacture a box of wine a lot of personnel was required at each stage (from the process of washing the bottles to the palletizing process), today the number of people involved in each of the stages of the process it is getting smaller every day with the new technologies.

. The use of technologies such as machine learning, cloud computing, and big data is becoming commonplace. How data is managed is the key to improving the performance, productivity, and efficiency of industrial processes.

The challenge to exercise good and effective data control is to provide tons of data in actions that lead to more efficient and transparent processes. Common problems with common industries are related to data :

 and it is used to analyze but not to decide in real-time

All these challenges represent one of the main obstacles to implementing the new IT model that companies need.

There are infrastructure providers that simplify all these processes that in the past were authentic architectural gibberish. A good example is AWS IoT SiteWise.

 is a fully managed AWS IoT service used to collect, organize, and analyze data. SiteWise is built to collect data on the plant floor and upload it to the AWS cloud. The data ingested and modeled in AWS IoT SiteWise is stored in a scalable and time-optimized internal data store. The main goals that you can achieve are:

 from all sources of industrial equipment without developing additional software.

 by remotely monitoring equipment performance.

 from automated and customizable data visualizations.

Collect and process industrial data locally

, creating hybrid industrial applications that work both on-premise and in the cloud

But AWS is not the only one offering industry solutions. 

 also provide solutions for Industry 4.0. Google Cloud IoT services gather real-time insights, at the edge or in the cloud. It allows us to do ad hoc analysis with BigQuery, advanced analytics, and ML with Vertex AI, and visualize results in Google Data Studio.

Also is it possible to integrate IoT assets with Google Maps Platform, helping to visualize the location in real-time, where they travel, and how often they moved Also, they offer out-of-box support for leading brands like Intel.

Do predictive maintenance, real-time asset tracking, logistics and supply chain management or smart cities and buildings is nowadays a reality.

. A platform that customers can use to wirelessly publish, distribute and manage updates for everything from tiny sensors to gateways.

The solutions offered by the cloud are increasingly sophisticated and cover an incredible amount of needs

. It is possible to have an infrastructure that was unthinkable years ago and only pay for its use.

Nowadays, IoT is in our daily life and probably an 

insecure device with an exploitable vulnerability sits in your house or your office

. All these devices such as speakers, cameras, access control readers, thermostats, and even lights..., can be and will be the Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

These IoT devices will be seamlessly integrated into our modern lives to improve comfort, efficiency, and control of our environments, and today they are notoriously insecure. This is due to the constrained nature of device hardware and their limited computational capacity.

Some of the models used to alleviate this lack of security are the 

The term “zero trust” was coined by Forrester analyst John Kindervag in his study, when he explained the importance of inherent “untrust” when it comes to network traffic, regardless of where it comes from.

However, many of the notions expressed with "zero-trust networks" have their origin in a much older concept, proposed in 2004 by the Jericho Forum, called de-parametrization. Perimeter security is carried out through firewalls and perimeter protection in order to keep intruders out. The flaw with this strategy is the lack of protection once the intruders have managed to breach the perimeter.

De-parameterization is a security strategy that involves removing the standard "border" security that separates a network from the internet, and instead creating a multi-layered, segmented security system based on encryption and authentication. Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) provides layered security through constant re-authentication and inherent mistrust of all devices, users, and actions, whether or not they exist within the perimeter

There are countless cloud services designed to offer this type of security.

VLANs offer security and segmentation. VLANs allow us to create logically independent networks, therefore, we can isolate them so that they only have an Internet connection, and deny traffic from one VLAN to another.

Also, VLANs give flexibility. Thanks to the VLANs we will be able to place the different devices in one subnet or another, easily and quickly, and have communication policies where we allow or deny traffic to other VLANs or to the Internet

This will allow the creation of VLANS architecture, for example

VLAN 2 is used for trusted IoT, in which the security department allows access to the Internet

VLAN 3 is used for isolated (untrusted) IoT devices.

 that characterizes the Fourth Industrial Revolution will have a clear positive impact on our lives. Companies that ride the wave will increase productivity while responding effectively to demanding market demand.
