Creativity and the power of restrictions!
If “the ends don’t meet the means”, the lack of “means” cannot be a chronic excuse to the lack of results. Sometimes innovations come from challenges – getting through an exceptional difficulty – doing something incredible without knowing all the conditions to triumph. Art has many of these mysteries, and engineering does too.
Wanting to take the risk, receiving stimuli, looking for advantages, having stamina, discovering the purpose is something creatives need in their day-to-day… Not in everything being done, but in everything being experimented.
We shouldn’t organize our lives in a tightrope but sometimes this is the only way to step out of the box, of coming up with a process, with no blames or excuses, knowing we are doing something that requires tolerance from all.
Sometimes it’s because of it that we exceed and are surprised.
When a director like Steven Soderbergh makes a movie with an iPhone, you pay attention because it's certainly not for lack of resources. Soderbergh filmed the psychological horror movie Unsane starring Claire Foy entirely on an iPhone 7 Plus in 10 days.
AUGUST 2018
A new wave for du customers
During the last quarter of 2017, du awarded Celfocus with part of the du app revamp project, which falls under du’s “Go Digital” Programme. A programme that aims to digitally transform the operator.
This project, specifically, aimed to revamp du’s current mobile application in what concerns user experience and the addition of new features. The project focused in 3 main streams with different stakeholders and vendors:
- Stream#1 (Celfocus): Integrating the du app fully with the API GW by moving the existing APIs from UCM gateway to the Apigee platform;
- Stream#2 (Celfocus): Provide a modular and flexible layer dedicated to digital channels to Manage communication with the backend systems;
- Stream#3 (du and MSP1): Front-end development and BSS systems changes by providing a new user experience integrated with Apigee platform and the changes required on EAI, SMS GW and other backend systems.
In August, the new du app with new features and an improved user experience was released for Business acceptance tests (FUT) and as part of it, Celfocus successfully delivered into production a new set of APIs in Apigee platform and a new strategic digital layer in the operator’s ecosystem to manage communication between digital channels and du’s backend such as LDAP, Payment Gateway and EAI.
