Scarce IT resources? Here’s how to solve it
The demand for ICT workers is rising and the number of vacancies is shooting through the ceiling. Involving your business in developing new solutions does keep your organization growing. How that works, Patrick Smits, Sales Director and partner at Mendify, explains in this blog.
Panic mode
We are increasingly seeing organizations facing IT staff shortages. This makes it a major challenge to properly manage and keep systems up and running, let alone to also implement desires that live in the organization. Often there are more requirements than time available on the IT team. And when new features and functionalities are finally implemented, the wish list is already completed. Thus, the IT team is constantly in “panic mode” instead of being able to do those things the business really needs to better serve customers, save money or provide user-friendly solutions to the end user. A hefty challenge.
More output through collaboration
I previously wrote a blog on why we at Mendify believe in Mendix’s low-code platform. Low-code is not only a way of building software that is the future, it is also accessible to a wide range of people. Because you can also involve people from the business – without development backgrounds – in realizing technology solutions, you get more output than if you work with techies alone. Thanks to the simple development method, you work together towards a solution through a graphical interface, using building blocks. This way, step by step, you can develop or improve applications in an agile way.
Co-creation is our middle name
At Mendify, we believe in co-creation. Creating a team with a nice mix of our own people and client employees creates a team that works together to realize a project, with a high level of interaction and knowledge transfer as an ongoing process. With daily stand-up meetings and bi-weekly release moments, technical people and people from the business together add value and achieve the desired result: a successful digital transformation.
