CALL To Emotions
—
Dec 2017
As humans, we make decisions based on emotions as an answer to what we are feeling.
The thing is we are also learning to program technology that “learns”. Systems that adapt to humans’ needs, deduce, take a risk, recognize and fix errors…
In reality, our emotions are our most powerful interface. And perhaps because of it, we are evermore determined on not giving up on this Technological trend - that amplifies our capacity to think, imagine, adapt and feel.
To be truly prepared for the neighbouring Technological Era, we must understand that the systems we are currently creating are becoming more similar to ourselves.
In 2015, Celfocus helped Vodafone Ireland create their first TV solution based on Vodafone Portugal’s TV blueprint, offering customers the flexibility they need for a full TV experience, whenever and wherever.
This project was successfully delivered in Ireland and an extended scope to include specific content right management rules that are mandatory in the Irish TV market arrived at Vodafone Portugal.
This month Vodafone Ireland, took yet another step and upgraded their OTT (mobile devices, including new Android TVs and Chromecast) version of the TV solution.
Today, both operators benefit from the same base OTT TV platform and UI.
This is an important mark as from this moment forward both operators may take advantage of new features and upgrades simultaneously.
On December 6th, Celfocus’ Quality Assurance (QA) business unit gathered the team at Páteo Alfacinha, Lisbon, to share the highlights and challenges of 2017 as well as introduce the strategy for the exciting year ahead.
Paulo César Reis, Management team, presented Celfocus’ year to date and revenue forecast as well as reinforced the recently implemented Leadership Development Initiatives which target the company’s horizontal and vertical evolution.
Head of QA, Luis Ochôa, also highlighted the units’ transformation, great achievements, ambitions and mission to “make Celfocus brand recognized by its software excellence.” During this event, the business unit was also introduced to different perspectives from colleagues of different seniority levels. With reflections and foresight discussed, the event was also filled with fun moments inspiring the teams’ spirit for 2018!
On December 12th, the first edition of BrownBags gathered a group of curious colleagues on the 7th floor to discuss Microservices.
BrownBags are part of the recently implemented People Development Initiatives, targeted at horizontal development, which refers to the adding of more knowledge, skills and competencies.
Curated by Sandra Simões and Susete Neiva, the first session was presented by Rafael Barbosa - Microservices | The Technological Architecture of Today.
Later, leading to an open Q&A which gave participants the opportunity to share their impressions and doubts.
Remember BrownBags are open to all!
If you’d like to share your knowledge with colleagues, sign up for the next edition of BrownBags by sending an email to Brown Bags.
Microservices are an application architecture that has been gaining a lot of traction lately. This architecture is characterized by structuring applications as loosely coupled services. These services have clearly defined functional boundaries, are self-sufficient and can be developed using different technologies, as they usually expose their functionality as REST APIs. Some of their main advantages include being easily replaceable, developed autonomously and deployed independently, thus further enabling an agile development flow. But there are also disadvantages. Their design as well as their deployment is more complicated. Inter-service communication can be slower due to network latency. Their importance is undeniable, their adoption rate is on the rise by the enterprise world, but adoption should be preceded by a thorough study on whether they are the right solution for the problem at hand.
