OTAs Are the Fast Track to Government Innovation—And Why Aviture Is Built to Deliver

Agile Procurement  |  Defense & National Security  |  Government Innovation

Let's face it—if you’ve worked with the government long enough, you’ve seen innovation get buried under process. Great ideas stall in procurement cycles. Urgent needs run aground on red tape. And vendors with real solutions get boxed out by outdated rules built for buying tanks, not technology.

Unlocking Success: Navigating User-Centered Design in DevOps

Defining Dev  |  State of the DevOps Report  |  User Experience  |  software development

As reflected in last year’s State of the DevOps Report, where the intersection of technology feasibility and business needs is more crucial than ever, user-centered design becomes the guiding light for success. To utilize it properly, focusing on users doesn’t stop at the UX team — it requires synergy between the entire company. So, how do you ensure that the user is considered at every step? Our Director of Customer Experience, DJ Jahn, shares his insights into the importance of engaging customers and clients, understanding user behavior, and balancing technical constraints with user desirability to show how organizations can seamlessly integrate user-centered design principles into their DevOps practices.

The Agile Method: Getting Comfortable with Uncertainty

Create Impact  |  IT Modernization  |  Scaling  |  agile  |  business analysis

Agile is one of the most effective ways to deliver value at the speed of business. To be successful, you have to get the appropriate stakeholders on board with the reality that we might not always know what we're going to be working on next. There will be times when a stakeholder will ask “I have this idea. When can it come to fruition?”, and the development team won’t be able to provide them with the answer they’re looking for. Instead, we will do everything we can to ensure that our teams are always working on what’s most valuable to them at the moment. By doing this, we will make progress and deliver capability along the lines of what you're looking for. We will take what we learn along the way to make this capability better with each iteration — and as long as it's still the most important thing to you, we'll keep making it better.

Feeling disconnected and isolated from coworkers has been a problem that almost every company has been facing for years (and wasn’t exactly helped by that whole pandemic thing either). While being a remote worker offers a lot of flexibility and can help with a work-life balance, maintaining a strong and healthy company culture that stretches across the states, sometimes even across continents, is a real challenge. Company culture is not only a huge part of our company, but a very important aspect to any company’s identity and stability.

Let’s dive more into the modernization of technology and its benefits.

What is Cloud Hybrid Architecture?

Cloud & Hybrid  |  Cloud Migration  |  Cloud infrastructure  |  Defining Dev  |  digitalization

As you look into data solutions for your business, it’s nearly impossible to not see mentions of the cloud. Your organization might even be using the cloud right now to help store data and files that perform one or more services while being accessible to those who need them within your organization. There are several cloud services that can easily help transform your organization, but depending on the company, a full switch to a public cloud service may be too big of a change or simply not the right choice given the data you handle. Cloud/hybrid networks, better known as hybrid cloud architecture, offer a blended solution to keep your data both accessible and secure.

Minimum Viable Product: 3 Examples of this Most Valuable Phase

minimum viable product  |  proof of concept  |  software development

When you have a big, bold idea with the potential to grow your business and revolutionize an industry, the temptation is to immediately jump to the end result. Yet having a fully fleshed-out, perfectly made, exceptional product or service takes a significant amount of time and money to accomplish. Going from idea to “in market” is a process that can take years of brainstorming, development, configuration, reconfiguration, and testing. Skip any step in that process and the end result may not be everything you want it, or your customers need it, to be. To make sure your developers, investors, and ultimately your users/customers are happy, it sometimes helps to take an intermediate step between bold idea and the final product: a minimum viable product (MVP).

Quickly Assess your Agility in Scrum

So you’re doing Scrum. Great! But are you Agile? “Wait a minute,” you might say. “Isn’t Scrum an Agile framework? How can you be doing Scrum and not be Agile?” Well…it’s actually quite easy.

Accessibility Services in Tech: Consider These Features

User Experience  |  User Interface  |  accessibility

Making your products and services as accessible to as many people as possible isn’t only the right thing to do; it’s good business sense. Too many companies continue to approach accessibility as an afterthought within the design of their websites and applications. This excludes many prospective members of the target audience who may have the intent to purchase a product or service but find it difficult to do so. It can frustrate current customers who feel they aren’t adequately able to use what they’ve invested their money in. Making a website or application that’s accessible is crucial when designing your tech. But knowing how to evaluate your current efforts is somewhat tricky and can be even more difficult than starting from scratch. Here are a few things you’ll want to consider.

How to Measure Tech Debt (Both Types!)

Technology  |  software development  |  system integrations

Tech debt is one of the biggest obstacles facing organizations who seek to modernize their operations, but its relative invisibility is precisely what makes it so hard to tackle. Without a thorough accounting of the technological debt that a company has accrued over the years, old and outdated systems and programs can have an outsized negative impact. Tech debt can act as an unseen albatross around the neck of even the most successful organizations, preventing engineering teams and the business from reaching their unseen potential.

What’s the best way to know how people really feel about your business, product, or service? Sales are certainly one metric. If your sales increase, that’s a sign that people appreciate what you’ve put in the market. But this metric is imperfect, as it could also suggest that you have a product or service that’s so valuable, people are willing to overlook minor or even major inconveniences.

We’re long past the point where gaming is considered a niche culture. According to the Entertainment Software Association, over 226 million people in the United States played video games of some kind in 2020. That’s more than two thirds of the entire population of the country. Some of these might be the prototypical hardcore gamer playing online via a console or PC, while others take a few minutes per day to indulge in a free-to-play mobile game on their phones.

You’ve got a brand new product, app, or update coming in the near future. Your engineering team is ready to fire on all cylinders to bring it to the masses. The time is now. But hold on for just a moment. How sure are you that people will use your product or service the way you intend? Assumptions are the enemy of technology.

How to Define Proof of Concept for Your Tech Solution

proof of concept  |  software development

In the lifespan of a tech venture, there is both a beginning and an end. The beginning is an idea. It’s ethereal, conceptual, something that exists only in our minds, doodled on the back of a napkin, or sketched out on a whiteboard. On the other end of the tech spectrum, after all the hard work and development, is the end product. It’s the idea shaped into reality, tried and tested and put through the wringer in order to come up with viable hardware or software that addresses a need in the marketplace going unfulfilled. But there’s one key stop on the journey that every tech idea should go through, long before you go into production, before Q & A testing, even before development and prototyping: Proof of concept.

One of the biggest buzzwords in the tech industry over the past decade has been “artificial intelligence” — also referred to as “AI.” In fact, when looking at innovation initiatives, it’s almost difficult to find a press release that doesn’t mention AI. Case in point: startup companies on the forefront of innovation that have been using AI received more than $7.4 billion in funding during Q2 2019.

What is a Digital Transformation? Time to Invest in Innovation

Not too long ago, we covered the differences between digitization, digitalization and digital transformation.

Data Encryption: Affects, Definition, and Pros and Cons

Data engineering  |  Technology

What We'll Cover: 1. Data encryption definition and applications. 2. Various pros and cons of using data encryption. 3. The value it can bring your business. The move to cloud services has exploded as people continue to work from home. However, with this rise, there’s been an equally big uptick in something not as nice or useful: cyberattacks. The Cloud has allowed businesses to keep things running, but as people take laptops home and internal servers are moved online, cyberattackers aren’t slowing down.

Digitalization Trends Going Into 2021: What to Keep Your Eyes On

News  |  Technology

2020 has been a rollercoaster of a year. While the landscape of how we work has changed this year, there’s a lot of exciting developments that have also changed. With all of this rapid innovation, it’s important to come out of the gate swinging in 2021, and knowing the digitalization trends that are leading the pack can help set you up for success. We’ve curated a list of some of the things we think you should be keeping your eyes on.

Innovation Examples to Inspire Your Technology Roadmap

Business innovation is bigger than technology.

Defining Digitization, Digitalization, and Digital Transformation

Digital Transformation  |  digitalization  |  digitization

Digitization, digitalization, digital transformation. (Say that three times fast.) Alliteration aside, despite how often these terms are used interchangeably, they each have a distinct meaning — and an impact on your business. Below, we’ll define each and talk through how they all drive impact for your organization.

System Integrations: Combined Dashboards Can Improve Businesses

Data engineering  |  big data  |  data strategy  |  modernization  |  system integrations

Many businesses deal with out-of-date systems, separated spreadsheets, and siloed data. Without strategic system integrations in place, these segmented technologies negatively impact your team’s decision-making ability and as a result, cost you money. In fact, according to IBM, surveyed organizations estimate that poor data quality is costing them an average of $15 million per year — with even greater long-term impacts such as reputation damage, missed opportunity, and loss of revenue. As a business leader, you’ve heard of the value integrated data can bring your organization. You may have considered merging systems before but need better examples of the ROI. System integrations take time — does the cost justify the outcome? The answer is a resounding ‘yes.’ Here are just a few examples of the benefits merging your systems brings to your business.

How a New Client-Facing App Won Carson Group a $63 Million Client

Application  |  Aviture  |  Scaling  |  Technology  |  UX

With a younger generation quickly entering the financial market alongside older generations, it is becoming more and more important that a financial institution can capture clients from both demographics. Systems need to be updated to remain appealing to current design standards, but they also cannot alienate any one client group either. As new technology is introduced across the industry, the bottom line keeps getting pushed. If your business cannot adapt, it can seriously damage a competitive edge.

As Cloud-Computing Continues to Grow, What Can That Do for You?

Cloud infrastructure  |  Scaling in the Cloud  |  Technology

While the cloud industry continues to mature, it is becoming more accessible to businesses in every industry - as well as more necessary. When the world was hit with the pandemic earlier this year, changes were needed to almost every business sector with how data was accessed. Cloud solutions were paramount to making those changes happen quickly and effectively and will continue to be essential into the future.

AvitureConf: How We Hosted a Conference Week Completely Remote

Aviture  |  Castaway Week  |  Company News  |  Culture

Our "Castaway Week" is one of the most important culture weeks we host for our Aviturians every quarter. It's a way for everyone, including anyone working remotely out of state, to come to the Omaha headquarters for a week of team building and fun. However, with the ongoing restrictions of COVID-19, we already had to make some changes. After holding our first remote Castaway Week in April, we knew we wanted to do something a little different this time around. After some brainstorming, a group of Aviturians put their heads together and decided to rebuild our culture week from the ground up - in a process that can be applied to not only our company, but yours as well.

Continuous Connection: Remote Work Tips from our 'Castaways'

Aviture  |  Castaway Week  |  Culture  |  News  |  Working Remotely

Working from home isn't just doing the same thing in a different location. There are a lot of natural rhythms that happen in an office that just don't happen when you work from home. For example, in an office, you might walk to the kitchen with a coworker to grab a cup of coffee. But if you're working from home, you simply close the Zoom window and get back to whatever it was you were doing.

How to keep remote employees engaged: Castaway Week 101

Aviture  |  Castaway Week  |  Culture

Great company culture isn’t built overnight. It’s the values, beliefs and spirit of your organization, and it takes effort and experimentation to grow. We’re proud of the environment we’ve cultivated at Aviture, but we are always striving for improvement and growth. Like many workplaces today, we are constantly trying to answer this question: How can we create culture that transcends the barrier of space between headquarters (Omaha, NE) and our remote employees (Austin, Chicago, DC Metro, Hartford, Las Vegas, Portland, and Phoenix)?

Advanced Redux Form Pattern: Derived (but Editable) Fields

React  |  Redux  |  Technology  |  UX  |  forms

Let’s face it, forms can be extremely complicated. There are all sorts of issues you run into with forms to provide a nice user experience. That’s why it’s really handy to have a library to help you out. If using React/Redux, Redux Forms is a great library to help you manage that form state in your Store. Having Redux Forms work with the store also opens up the possibility to customize behavior via your own reducers. This will let you take advantage of all the built-in functionality of the library but also handle your potentially complicating scenarios. I’m going to show you how to leverage this concept to build a specialized form that reflects a requirement we had for a project, a derived but editable field.

How to Host a CodeFest/Hackathon: Part 2

Clean Coder  |  Culture  |  Events

Previous Posts in this Series How to Host a CodeFest/Hackathon, Part 1: Why Have a Hackathon? Answering Questions in Advance So last time I hopefully convinced you that you should at least consider having an internal company hackathon, or as we call it here at Aviture, a Codefest. But before we really get started, you have to flesh out enough of the details that you can get yourself excited, and so you can actually communicate the idea to everyone else! And believe me, they’re going to have a lot of questions. Here’s a couple big questions to ask yourself that should help you get the structure of the event settled:

All of this is why educators and national leaders are focused on keeping subjects engaging, relevant, and fun with STEM curriculum. So, what is STEM?

How to Host a CodeFest/Hackathon: Part 1

Clean Coder  |  Culture  |  Events

Agitating for Innovation A little over a year ago, I sat down with Mark Griffis and Jerry Koske (Aviture’s President and CTO, respectively) to make my case that Aviture should have an internal hackathon. I had a Powerpoint presentation all ready to go, a head full of ideas about how awesome it was going to be, and some pretty high hopes for the end results. I came out of the meeting feeling luckier than ever. Mark and Jerry are just as nuts about innovation and exploration of ideas as I am, and I got the go-ahead to put the event together.

Style Guide Driven Development: Lessons learned

Aviture  |  Clean Coder  |  Culture

From the trenches, Our experiences with Style Guide Driven Development Style Guide Driven Development (SGDD) is a technique of developing your UI components in a living “Style Guide.” There is no one set definition but the basic idea is that you develop a separate page or pages outside your application that use the same CSS and HTML that your application uses. There is an excellent introduction to SGDD and its benefits at Smashing Magazine and we encourage you to check it out! This post will be about our experiences working with this technique, which suggest that on a green-field project, it is extremely difficult to know enough about your application to fully embrace SGDD out of the gate. We found that waiting for the UI patterns to emerge from your application and then creating a style guide was a better approach. Key to this recommendation is to develop and build all your UI components (style guide or not) with discipline, using known best practices.

Automated Testing and ATDD with Gherkin, Cucumber & Protractor

Application  |  Clean Coder  |  News  |  Technology

Introduction This post is about my project’s experience implementing Acceptance Test Driven Development of our web applications, the process around automating our Given, When, Then (GWT) specifications, the path we took, problems that surfaced, and how we dealt with those problems. The motivation for automated testing was a corporate mandate. Most of the company’s previous applications were services APIs and I expect the main goal was to gain a higher level of confidence with those APIs.

A New Approach to Designer-Developer Collaboration

Company News  |  News  |  Technology

Static Images I’ve been on the prowl for several years now for the perfect solution to bridge that communication gap between designers and developers. I’m a “graphic” (read: print) designer turned web designer turned UX designer. Like many print-turned-web designers, I started with Photoshop as my primary communication tool. My first hand-off to developers involved static images made in Photoshop thrown over the fence with crossed fingers that a decent-looking screen would come out alive.
