Software Integration and FLaaS:
Federated Learning as a Service
On its own, digital transformation isn’t a solution. Because if all the parts of your business are transforming, according to departmental tactics rather than one enterprise-wide strategy, that’s not creativity: it’s chaos. So how can you solve it?
By making sure all the parts of your software development – across departmental and cultural silos – are integrated. That applications used by one team can talk to applications in another; that datasets company wide use the same definitions, the same approach, the same core methodology. So they can be shared and leveraged for greater returns. That’s SI, or Software Integration.
And alongside SI comes FLaaS: Federated Learning as a Service. It’s an AI-inspired approach that lets applications (and people!) in one part of your business “learn” from data in another, so they don’t have to start from scratch themselves. It might be as simple as a payroll application connecting to CSR goals, so managers can check people are being paid what they’re worth. Or as complex as a security infrastructure that takes signs and signals from across the organization and synthesizes them into a stronger, more complete solution for keeping bad actors away. Here’s what SI and FLaaS can do for you.
Before integration comes differentiation. SI breaks down the tasks and processes of your software solution into modules, each part of a larger plan, with dependencies and connections between the modules carefully designed and documented. This makes it easier and faster to update and upgrade individual parts of your solution as needs arise – making SI perfect for your digital transformation.
With software integration via modularization, and data federated across your organization, there’s a need for an over-arching code architecture – and Strypes delivers. With each application and data structure designed according to a master plan, there’s more consistency in the process of creation and more clarity when the time comes for change. Meaning your digital transformation happens faster and smoother.
When your applications use data from across the organization rather than rely on a few sources in isolation, you get a broader and deeper picture of what’s going on. But with so much data there’s also a risk of losing what’s important. Methods like FLaaS – Federated Learning as a Service – can bring together diverse datasets and make intelligent connections and conclusions at a high level, even with Big Data. It’s why we use it at Strypes.
