Last month we brought together two data experts for a webinar discussion on best practices and approaches to implementing analytics and defining data roadmaps. The renowned Dan Vesset from IDC joined Qlik’s Michael Distler to review the current state of the data journey and how users can plan for success.
Ghost Inspector is an automated browser testing tool for continously monitoring websites. Many of those websites run on WordPress. After lots of demand from our users, we've built a plugin to show your Ghost Inspector test results right inside your WordPress admin panel. The plugin enables you to display the latest test results for a single suite on the dashboard of any self-hosted WordPress installation. Keep reading to learn how to install and setup the plugin.
If you’ve got an app that keeps going down for no apparent reason, don’t worry: this quick and easy guide will give you the tools to get it up and running smoothly. If you’re not from the tech world yourselves, you probably think us programmers get everything right all the time.

Is it the Data Scientists and Millennials, or should our minds be broadened to look for other groups in our organisations that need and want data and it’s insight?
Can we fix the plague in analytics with AI? Every Business Intelligence (BI) and analytics vendor is integrating a form of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning algorithm (ML), and natural language generation (NLG) into their products.

I often get asked why Yellowfin decided to go global. While the Australian market is relatively large, it’s also quite risk averse, which makes it a challenging market to sell into. While VC-backed software vendors have the benefit of selling to others within their VC family, as a bootstrapped startup we had to forge legitimate markets outside of Australia.

In this market, getting QA right is essential. For the 2019 QA Health Survey, we polled over 250 software professionals to get a sense of how healthy quality organizations are right now.
Whether they connect existing on-premises applications to new cloud workloads, provide new customer experiences, or power an entire developer ecosystem, APIs are everywhere in today’s enterprise.

I recently had the pleasure of attending the Center for Business Analytics Career Panel event at Villanova University where myself and other analytics professionals sat on a panel to discuss the future of analytics with the students.
