One morning, while practising my morning mindfulness using Headspace, my wandering mind started to think about conversations I had recently. The meditation was called Feel 1% Better. This struck a chord with me because people often struggle to achieve success of 100% or view anything less as a failure.

Introduction

We recently held an event called Get into Tech as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) effort, inviting students aged 16 and 17 to participate in an intensive day of learning and exploration in the field of information technology.

Have you checked out Anypoint Code Builder lately? There has been another major release since my last blog, but don't worry, I’m here to guide you through the recent changes.

We know that effectively managing the ever-growing and quickly-changing world of customer data can feel overwhelming. Salesforce Data Cloud is here to change that! But what exactly is it? And even more, why should it matter to your business? Turns out that Data Cloud isn't just for those working in technical roles - so how can it have an impact for business users? Let’s dive in and break it down!

AWS Service Roles allow services to securely interact with other AWS services on your behalf by assuming roles with the necessary permissions. This simplifies access management and reduces the need to handle long-term credentials.

CloudHub 2.0 works on top of an AWS EKS service, so we can leverage AWS Service Roles to connect our APIs with many other AWS services used by our integrations, such as SQS, S3, DynamoDB, Secret Manager, etc.

In this article, we will see how it works and how to implement it.

In today's fast-paced world, we often hear about the importance of mental health. Yet, how often do we consider the profound connection between our mental and physical well-being? On last week's World Mental Health Day, as we reflected on mental health and its importance, I wanted to shed light on the often-overlooked relationship between mental and physical health, and why taking care of both is essential for leading a fulfilling life.

In higher education, managing student data is often seen as a challenge of consolidating records across various platforms - from admissions and financial aid systems to student management portals and alumni databases. For many institutions, the complexity of these systems leads to fragmented data, making it hard to get a unified view of students and make timely, data-driven decisions.

As a project manager, I often have multiple projects running parallel to one another. Before building a solid approach to monitor all these tasks and activities in progress, I always worried I might miss something.

Everyone has, at one point or another, experienced a period of agonising waiting. Whether it be awaiting the results of a job interview, exam results or even waiting in an online queue to get the chance to grab some concert tickets, I’m sure that everyone can agree waiting around for things to happen is a deeply unpleasant feeling. Certainly for me, sitting through the week before A-Level results day felt (almost) worse than taking the exams did! Now imagine how stressful it must be for victims of crimes who are awaiting updates to their investigations.

Understandably, many people want to check in on the progress of their ongoing investigations: in fact, one of our clients found that 20% of inbound calls were from victims seeking updates to their cases. If victims of crime were able to access this information in a more timely manner, it would open up police time that could be allocated to support additional tasks, as well as help reduce stress for people going through the post crime journey.

Working in the automation space is both exciting and challenging. In a recent hyperautomation project with a client, I was provided invaluable insights into the complexities and nuances of automating business processes using MuleSoft RPA.

Here's a detailed look at my experience, the challenges faced and the lessons learned, along with a project glance on automating quotes in Excel and PDF formats.
