Thanks to Alex Popsecu’s NoSql blog, found a well articulated thesis by Johan den Haan, CTO at Mendix. Johan proposes a framework that describes the various layers of cloud platform services starting from virtualized hardware up to end-user software applications.

Accion Labs hosted its first and foremost Live Webinar on the topic “Is Your Business Digital Enough”, presented by Ashutosh Bijoor, CTO and Hemesh Thakkar, Chief Solutions Architect. Ash and Hemesh discussed the unprecedented times that we are going through and why there is an urgency for companies to go digital. In the BC (Before Covid) era, though there was a recognition of the need to digitalize, the pandemic has increased the urgency manifold. In such an atmosphere, being digital is becoming a prerequisite to survive! But can the difficult journey to digital be accelerated? That is the question that Ash and Hemesh ponder and discuss in this webinar.

Yet another exclusive webinar by Accion Labs was held on June 24, Wednesday on the topic, "De-Risking The Journey To A Digital Platform". In this webinar, we had Ryan Clark, CTO at Company.com, and the member of Accion Labs Advisory Board as one of our esteemed panelists. We had the privilege to conduct an interview session with Ryan by the CTO of Accion Labs, Ashutosh Bijoor. Together with Ash and Ryan, we facilitated a few interesting questions and comments coming in from the audience.

Ash asked specific questions like why platform models are core to businesses in this digital age. And how businesses need to leverage digital strategy, design thinking, and platform thinking to reach long term goals while delivering real value.

The webinar covered below key points:

• The burning case for change
• Core components to a successful platform strategy
