Executive Roundtable: Developerzy pod lupą: jak mierzyć, porównywać i oceniać efektywność zespołów IT

Zarządzanie zespołami IT nie może opierać się na intuicji. Efektywność wymaga twardych danych i miar. Które zespoły są naprawdę skuteczne? Jak ocenić, ile pracy wymagało wdrożenie konkretnej funkcji? W jaki sposób mierzyć postęp i jakość pracy programistów bez polegania na subiektywnych wskaźnikach?   Podczas spotkania CIONET Executive Roundtable porozmawiamy o tym, jak nowoczesne narzędzia analityczne – takie jak BlueOptima – pozwalają na obiektywne i porównywalne mierzenie coding effort, czyli rzeczywistego wysiłku włożonego w rozwój oprogramowania. Takie podejście może wspierać nie tylko kontrolę efektywności, ale też jakość, planowanie zespołów i – w dalszej perspektywie – optymalizację kosztów.   W trakcie dyskusji: Wyjaśnimy, czym jest coding effort i jak można go mierzyć niezależnie od technologii czy stylu pracy zespołu. Omówimy, jakie wskaźniki (np. wysiłek dzienny, wskaźnik trudnego do utrzymania kodu, koszt jednostki wysiłku) mają realną wartość dla liderów IT. Pokażemy, jak dane mogą pomóc w identyfikowaniu ryzyk, ocenie jakości kodu i skuteczniejszym zarządzaniu zespołami developerskimi. Zajrzymy też "pod maskę" – jak działa architektura platform takich jak BlueOptima, skąd czerpie dane i jak zapewnia obiektywność metryk. Naszym partnerem w przygotowaniu spotkania jest firma BlueOptima. Gość specjalny Jarosław Wójciński, Head of IT, BENEFIT SYSTEMS podzieli się praktycznymi doświadczeniami z wdrożenia i wykorzystania tej platformy w codziennej pracy działu IT.

Online: Wine Tasting - Unified Operations & Security

Die neuen geo-politischen Veränderungen und unvorhergesehene wirtschaftliche Anforderungen stellen Digital Leader vor neue Herausforderungen.

Der CIO muss für diese neue Welt resiliente Strategien parat haben, die für Business Continuity in bisher nicht vorstellbaren politischen und wirtschaftlichen Szenarien ermöglichen.

Arxus ensures that Resengo's reservation system is permanently available

Resengo is a Belgian digital company that develops online reservation systems. Primary target groups are restaurants, wellness centers, and sports & recreation facilities.The company has experienced significant growth in recent years. Resengo is now working on a new IT architecture to eventually transition completely to Microsoft Azure.

Introduction

Resengo is a Belgian digital company that develops online reservation systems in-house. Primary target groups are restaurants, saunas & wellness centers, and sports & recreation facilities. Through their proprietary platform, Resengo registers more than 3.2 million online reserved place settings for restaurants, every month. Typically, for Resengo, companies put forward a complete offer: the actual reservation system with both the associated back office and the necessary plug-ins to link their customer's website with the system. For example, to find a restaurant nearby where you can make reservations through Resengo. In recent years Resengo has chosen to further develop their software with new automated marketing techniques, including inbound marketing.  Their prospects can, for example, onboard themselves with a free trial version of our software. Our software has also been further developed with a Match & Go feature. This means that we bring the right guest to the right catering facility with the goal of providing a positive review of the customer to his/her contacts.

The success of our product depends on its availability. At Resengo, availability is closely linked to scalability. Arxus ensures that the applications are always available. This allows us to focus entirely on the development of the offering. 

Dirk Gypen: (CEO) - Resengo

The challenge

In recent years, Resengo has experienced significant growth. The company now has over three thousand customers and registers/books 6 million place settings every month. Over 3 million of these are booked online. Across all sectors, this amounts to nearly 3 million reservations every month. Behind the scenes, Resengo often needs to move quickly. This has proven to be a problem in the past. Resengo was unable to cope with this itself and also did not have the possibilities to develop the necessary expertise itself. This year marks Resengo's nineteenth anniversary and all development is now done in-house. The ongoing challenge, therefore, is to ensure that older technology is continually replaced with new technology.  All new applications are built entirely in the cloud. In the near future, Resengo aims to also migrate all the legacy code they are still using to cloud technology. 

The solution

Resengo did not consider immediately moving everything to the cloud as the best option. For the time being the hybrid cloud is the perfect solution for them. They are currently also using Arxus' private cloud. Resengo is now working on a new IT architecture to eventually transition completely to Microsoft Azure. Microsoft Azure can support Resengo's growth with modern applications which are often available by default. To take maximum advantage of the capabilities of Microsoft Azure, they will eventually transition entirely to the Microsoft cloud. Ultimately, today's transition is also less costly than using custom applications in the private cloud.

The Microsoft Partner

A good mission, a clear vision, and shared values can connect and motivate people to achieve a common goal. Arxus tries to reflect this as much as possible in their daily work. Arxus aims to increase productivity, efficiency, and innovation in companies by relieving them of managing IT business processes with their application-centric cloud solutions. They want to proactively analyze business processes and automatically adapt cloud solutions to meet the changing needs of businesses. This means: providing the best possible experience on any platform or device. Arxus aims for an environment in which everyone feels at home and where colleagues become friends. They celebrate accomplishments. Success equals enjoyment. Arxus never stops learning and does not shy away from challenges. Innovation is key. But to help any organization move to the cloud, they prefer a no-nonsense and local approach. Being close to customers and getting the job done as a team is of paramount importance. Where others are targeting the moon, Arxus is already on its way to Mars.

 

The result

Resengo relies on the services of Arxus for everything that has to do with the underlying infrastructure. In terms of infrastructure, the collaboration with Arxus offers Resengo an essential advantage. Arxus can also make good use of the knowledge network of Cronos, of which Arxus is a part. The company can fully focus on its core activities: the development of new functionalities and applications and, of course, customer support. Arxus has taken responsibility for the entire infrastructure component. This ensures that Resengo does not need to invest in machines or in infrastructure knowledge. Arxus provides this expertise. At the same time, Arxus offers guarantees of availability, performance, and security that would not be immediately feasible for Resengo under its own management. In the current hunt for talent, IT employees are very difficult to find. And then again: infrastructure expertise is not part of Resengo's core business. It works much better and more efficiently for them to meet the need for scalability via Arxus.  

With Arxus, Resengo has a unique point of contact for any IT issue. Arxus has easy access to the broad ICT expertise of the entire Cronos Group. Whatever the question, there is always an answer. This not only gives Resengo a sense of security, it is also very convenient that we have all the necessary expertise at our fingertips via Arxus. Arxus is a partner who continuously thinks along with us and is on a journey together with us.
