Netlight Edge Conference 2014 - It's autumn, time for our own grandios technology conference

-
Netlight Edge Conference, Oct 5th 2014 - the 5th edition of our own grandios technology conference.

http://ec.netlight.com/


 This year the conference will be held in Oslo with our Oslo office hosting the event and we're expecting more than 500 visitors.
Media will sort of be the theme of the day. The reason we chose media is not that it’s hot and trendy right now but rather that we see media currently leading and driving technology forward. The industry have been up to a huge challenge, and still ongoing, in going from traditional print to digital. And the challenge to take online from being simply a marketing channel, free of use for the customers a couple of years ago, to provide ones full product portfolio and all service offerings online today, experimenting with different alternatives of payment wall strategies.

Netlight loves media and are very much involved in all the main players in Stockholm, Oslo and more and more in Munich. During the Swedish elections recently Netlight was part of all the major initiatives around the election, parties and newsflashes.

When I say media here today I don’t only include the obvious typical publishing players, but rather the mindset to put the user and user experience in center and to have business and tech work closely together for real in order to catch the rapidly flying windows of market opportunity we see today. We also love to see how traditional industries are adapting to this, as an important part of their business. The clear lines between traditional industries are fading away.

In my generous  definition of media, here today, I include very interesting areas such as focus on user and user experience, client development (web, tablet, mobile), VOD, streaming, e-commerce, payment strategy/payment walls, all new neet frameworks both far to the client side in the rendering business, but also to the far back-end side, fading out the barriers between traditional back-end and front-end, usage of customer data to customize user experience in real-time, analytics, BI and rule engines, big data to provide real business value, performance, stability and scalability...


To me...this is heaven...

Digitalization - How do I stay relevant? Netlight Edge Academy 2017 - our initimite digitalization festival all over Europe - will give some answers. #edge, #edgeacademy17, #genuine consultant, #netlight

Do you know what? The world is changing - the world is digitalizing. And I'm so happy to be part of it, as I easily get bored and feel good about being part of something greater (than myself). Digitalization is not about developing the best business plan, the best marketing plan and separately developing the best technology architecture. Digitalization is about pure business development where IT and IT architecture is part of your core business, not a support organization anymore. So, to compete in the digital race, IT Architecture must be a natural and crucial part of your every-day-business-development. Yes, the world is changing and so must we, to stay relevant.  How do I stay relevant?  By working in a place as Netlight built on the strong foundation of change, knowledge sharing and supporting each other. A natural win-win for all parties - employed, clients and Netlight as a company. Edge Academy, our intimate digitalization festival, is really our normal ...

What do you get when you mix competence, creativity and business sense together with a big portion of deep engagement and people who really cares? You get Edge Academy, an intimate yearly IT festival during a week happening in all Netlight offices all over Europe. By us consultants, for us consultants. Sounds interesting, one must really say, but what’s the agenda or theme? Of course whatever is currently relevant, or Edge as we call it within Netlight. That is whatever makes challenges or opportunities to our clients and our clients as being leaders and drivers of the digital future. What this may be in detail, all of our consultants know together (that’s why the agenda can’t be set by anyone else) so let’s have a peak into the schedule of what is currently Edge to us. Also this is as good answer as any to the question - what does Netlight actually do currently?  What we do in six months or in a year? Nobody knows, and that's the excitement, ask us then and we'l...

Is Microservices the future of all architectures? Is it "the" silver bullet for any company with a business critical IT?

      We all start there, with the famous Monolith Architecture. Why? Because it’s easy, it’s fast, it suits our needs just fine. Remember the first rule when distributing your systems – “Do NOT distribute your systems”, until you need it, then “Do NOT distribute your systems”, unless you really really really need it. So the Monolith is the perfect start for any start-up and can suit your need for a very long time, potentially forever.   So why bother understanding what Microservices is all about? There might come a day, when you feel you grow out of your Monolith. The size of your organization has grown quite a lot, your dev department is getting bigger, perhaps dev centers separated geographically. All you know is that growth is the only thing that will stay stable for the near future. Sooner or later I think you will start to see the typical signs of you outgrowing your Monolith (if not – congratulations, please tell me and the world how you did it); You s...
