        Executives stop ignoring blockchain

        Blockchain has already started to revolutionize ways of doing business, but even CIOs aren’t totally on board, let alone the rest of the executive leadership team, in my opinion this is a huge mistake. You must start experimenting with one of your business processes.

        Startups and leading digital enterprises are nevertheless deploying blockchain to solve problems and create value that conventional, centralized technologies and processes can’t. On example, the cryptocurrency market is now worth around $2 trillion, and nation states and public and private companies own nearly $100 billion of Bitcoin alone.

        A tangible example is a local Montreal company called Shakepay,  a technology company that provides financial applications for building wealth. Canadians from all walks of life — college students to retirees — use Shakepay to connect with the digital economy built on the Internet.They started in 2015, and have had exponential growth, their successful business model has constantly been to create value for its customers . Scalability is how theyre business model expanded without increasing costs to the same extent. Software business models are naturally easier to scale than those based on physical values. The direct marketing approach is excellent , easiest way to buy digital assets using interac transfer and have a good customer service,  they give you a 30$ free bitcoin on first purchase of 100$ or more. 

        Here is the link if your interested and you will get $30 of free bitcoin on your first purchase:  https://shakepay.me/r/ZZPBYOK

        Im suspecting the finance industry is racing to catch up to these startups. Pension funds, insurance, banking want to compete in this new world and profit from it. Their approach will be two-pronged: experimenting with cryptocurrency offerings and lobbying regulators to create rules to officialize the space.

        I am so confident that assets will move to the blockchain because of the efficiencies and enhancements are just too substantial to be ignored even by large corporations like pension funds, banking and insurance as a way to retire in the long run their legacy systems.

        Be ready, 2022, will go faster & 4 measurable predictions

        Whether we like it or not, the world is rapidly moving into a technological era, and at an increasing pace. This is essentially changing how businesses are being operated and ultimately, how value is added for customers. In the past, digital transformation was a long process that often took years to achieve for companies due to the many complexities involved. However, nowadays, the shift can be made in a matter of months. This is the acceleration aspect of digital transformation.

        Here is some food for thought, These things or companies didnt exist on Christmas 20 years ago:

        1. IPhone
        2. Facebook
        3. Youtube
        4. Instagram
        5. Twitter

        17. Whatsapp
        18. AirBnb
        19. Uber
        20. Linkedin

        This digital transformation has become inevitable for all businesses, but the real question if you dont do anything about it and evolve, you will become extinct. These 20 companies or solutions disrupted and extincted many large cap companies.

        Embrace 2022, we’re entering a time period of exponential rapid change. 

        4 predictions for 2022

        2- Instead of  Zoom or Team calls, you will interact with coworkers and clients in a virtual environment  that feels real. The metaverse will offer new, exciting opportunities to people. It will be an enhanced work-from-home experience that makes you feel part of the team and not isolated alone in your apartment or home.

        3- Blockchain and crypto will go mainstream and companies will begin to embrace the integration with their legacy offerings. Cryptocurrency will be renamed digital assets.

        Here are some tips for companies starting their journey with blockchain.

        The core principle of Blockchain is to keep records transparent and information tamper-proof.

        When defining your issue you want to resolve make sure you grasp your actual internal use case. 

        As an organization, you need to define the specific problem you are trying to solve within that use case. Then you must determine which transactions or interactions the blockchain should capture and who should have access to which portions.

        Quick list of key questions to ask:

        What are you trying to do

        What value do you want to capture

  • 5 Reasons you should go with PWAs for your Web and Mobile Apps

5 Reasons you should go with PWAs for your Web and Mobile Apps

by Alex Antonatos
on 12 August 2020

 

Are you creating an application and you need to decide whether to make it Web or a Native development.

Will be covering Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and 5 reasons why tyou should select PWAs for your web and mobile apps. 

What are PWAs?

In simple terms, they are applications that are built and live on the web but function like Native Applications. 

Users spend a significant amount of more time on Native Apps than on the mobile Web. Think about it, do you open up a browser to use Google Maps on a mobile?

5 Reasons you should go with PWAs for your Web & Mobile Apps

1. Technology

Survey

A survey by Stack Overflow suggests that JavaScript and HTML/CSS are the most commonly used programming language. These results influence the technology adoption by developers, and as a result, it is easier to find developers on the web track.

PWAs reduce development costs and deliver faster. Using the same stack for Native and Web is a way to reuse code as much as possible. By sharing and managing your reusable components/modules in cloud component hubs, you are able to focus on composing apps instead of building from scratch for multiple technologies and platforms.

2. Reliable Performance

PWAs are fast, integrated, reliable, and engaging. performance time 

èFast: Users expect PWAs to load quickly. It is worth noting that users are more likely to abandon a site, and less likely to visit a site, with longer load time.

èIntegrated: Users should be able to interact with PWAs the same way they interact with Apps. This includes having all the capabilities and hardware access that other Apps have, such as ApplePay or AndroidPay. 

èReliable: Users do not expect the Web to work when offline, whereas App users expect Apps to work offline. PWAs are connectivity-independent and should work in areas of low connectivity or offline. 

èEngaging: Using features like Web Push to keep the App up-to-date and push notifications to keep users engaged. 

3. Provides Best User Experience using Service Workers

Service Workers are often used in new web apps and can also be used in PWAs. Let us look at the main features Service Workers offers for PWAs.

  • Working Offline: With Service Workers, you can cache the application shell, and it will load instantly when the user visits back. These background operations allow improving the user experience of the application since the user won’t see any significant differences between online and offline modes. But the dynamic content will only be refreshed when there is a connection.
  • Background Sync: With Service Workers, the application is able to respond to critical requests once the connection is available. For example, if you send a message when you are offline, service worker will take care of that and complete that request when the connection is available.

4. Native App Look and Feel

Web Apps are easy to use, do not require installation, and they are multi-platform. On the other hand, Native Apps are easier to access on a device, load quickly, and have more hardware capabilities. 

With Progressive Web Apps, you can get the best of both worlds. This is because PWAs have features such as push notifications and background syncing and are installable on a mobile devices.

5. Enhance Security and Transparent Access to Device Capabilities

PWA enforces transport layer security. Therefore, users' information will be encrypted during transmission, and data can only be decrypted using a private key stored on the server. For this reason, PWA website follow best security practices using HTTPS, and the installation of an SSL certificate in the server is done.

Moreover, PWA does not interact with the device hardware without users’ permission. So, by requesting only necessary access to a user's device and using trusted JavaScript libraries which are kept up to date, the risk of malicious codes inside PWA becomes significantly lower.
