Enterprise software vendors shift genAI narrative: 'GenAI is just software' https://buff.ly/4fuvuJF Enterprise software vendors haven't been thrilled about the narrative that they aren't directly monetizing generative AI so the narrative is subtly being flipped.

Ever felt like your software projects spiral out of control? The scope keeps growing, deadlines slip, and the goal posts keep moving? Let’s flip the script. Introducing: The "Why" Conversation. This is a transformative practice from Alan Weiss’ Value-Based Fees. It is explored in depth in Jonathan Stark’s Hourly Billing is Nuts. Here's why it's a game-changer for software delivery: ⚡️ Why It Matters: Reduces Scope Creep: Before diving into solutions, ask “Why?”. Understanding the real business need ensures only the most critical features get built. This minimizes distractions. Simplifies Solutions: When you know the "Why", you don’t over-engineer. You create elegant, efficient solutions that hit the mark. Acceptance Criteria are specific and agreed upon. They help write tests that reflect success. Facilitates Automated Testing: Clear objectives and metrics come from understanding the “Why”. Now you can test features effectively and measure what truly matters. Aligns Goals: Ensures every line of code serves a purpose that aligns with the goals. It avoids misaligned efforts. Discoveries from Jonathan Stark’s book and Alan Weiss’ insights show that looking into the why doesn't just speed delivery. It also supercharges it 🚀. Consider it your secret weapon against project bloat and missed targets. Your Takeaway? Next time you kickoff a project, start with the “Why” conversation. Find the core motivations. Let them guide your development. They lead to outstanding, aligned, and efficient outcomes. Time to revolutionize your software project lifecycle with the why! PS: Found this useful? Sharing is caring! ♻️

I had a great conversation with Jeff Bollinger on the Detection at Scale podcast, and after we stopped recording he mentioned the concept of “the five layers of IR.” 1. The Playbook Management Layer 2. The Data Layer 3. The Presentation Layer 4. The Case Tracking Layer 5. The Remediation Layer This week, we published the first blog in the series that dives into the first three phases. Check it out below!

Who Supports Your AI Solution After Deployment? Understanding support for custom vs. off-the-shelf AI helps ensures long-term reliability. 1. Support Structures ➡️ Custom AI: Supported by the development or in-house team. ➡️ Off-the-Shelf: Vendor-provided standardized support. 2. Long-Term Considerations Custom AI: ⤷ Dedicated support and tailored updates. ⤷ Higher long-term costs. Off-the-Shelf AI: ⤷ Standardized vendor updates. ⤷ Lower maintenance costs. 3. Impact on Operations • Custom AI: Faster resolutions, resulting in less downtime. • Off-the-Shelf AI: Regular updates, but may need in-house expertise to supplement vendor support.

While attending a conference recently, I had a conversation with a leading technology CTO. His concern was simple but powerful: ‘Our current system is rigid. It slows us down.’ He went on to explain how their data infrastructure, though powerful, couldn’t keep up with the company’s evolving needs. This is a problem many businesses face today. Systems that were once state-of-the-art are now inflexible, unable to adapt to new demands. That’s why composability is so important. It’s about breaking down monolithic structures and allowing businesses to innovate at their own pace. At Syntasa, we’ve built a composable CDP that enables companies to add or remove data capabilities as needed — without disruption. Imagine running your marketing campaigns with the freedom to experiment, pivot, and grow without being held back by your tech stack. Composability is the new agility, and it’s time every company embraces it. https://lnkd.in/eWBJAzGb
