Innovation, the future of applications and web, mobility and cloud systems were some of the themes that marked the latest edition of GeneXus in Mexico.
in the changing scenario of global trends in IT, talking about software as a concept already looks dated. Big Data, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things and Mobility are some of the pillars that often mobilize conversation, leaving the discussion about creating software for more specialized niches, even if this is at the center of any technological device.
in order to focus the talks on issues they consider important, GeneXus, the Uruguayan company creator of one of the main development tool platform for business software, made this month its 11th GeneXus Meeting in Mexico ( #GXMX). About 1,000 participants, including experts, decision makers, students and members of government, discussed in some thirty conferences advances, benefits and problems of the current and future state of the software and technology under the slogan “What’s Next?”.
Keynote by Nicolas Jodal, CEO GeneXus
the question ensuing discussion does not stop gain importance, considering the frantic daily progress recorded in all fields of technology and only seem to increase exponentially. Parael 2020, for example, is projected to be 34 billion devices connected to the Internet, of which only 10 billion will now consider traditional devices: phones, tablets, notebooks and desktop computers. The 24 billion remaining could exist everywhere, from sensors that generate information on the health of people even those who report the traffic in a city, through the operation of machinery in a company, the best time to fumigate a plantation or virtually any process susceptible to be improved by implementing some form of technology, according to a recent study by Business Insider, “the Internet of Things: Examining How the IoT Will Affect the World”.
with so many devices inserted in the daily life of companies, governments and individuals, generating reliable software, easy access and rapid implementation is a concern to many companies face, especially if they fail to adapt to the waves innovation. “It seems to us that is living a crucial moment in the history of software development, in all industries,” says Nicholas Jodal, cofounder and CEO of Genexus, exclusively. “What we believe, and that can be expressed very easily, is that the software is invading the world”
The engineer specifies that this invasion differs from past instances in three substantial points. The massive arrival sensors that collect and transmit information of all kinds; the abundance of functional APIs that facilitate interaction between applications and data, and increasingly valuable ideas in the world, which can be transformed into reality quickly and costs are particularly low. “Until recently, was to obtain data a very difficult thing, and then process was not so complicated. Now it is the reverse: the data became abundant and are left with the problem of what to do with them to make them relevant, “Jodal explains
It is at this point where GeneXus and other companies are redoubling their efforts to facilitate. creating applications that give relevance to all kinds of information, and to whoever needs it. This was demonstrated by Nicholas Bortolotti, director of Google Developer Relations for Latin America, who with his public Google account and less than 10 clicks managed to shape a simple application in the cloud using the Firebase platform. “This will be useful to anyone. Large companies benefit course, but also the small developer, entrepreneur: in minutes can plot an idea and realize a solution as quickly as possible, “said Bortolotti to this publication. “The democratization of access to application development is just one of the concepts that we can apply here. We are relying on technology to develop an application in a much shorter time than traditionally accustomed. “
In the same vein, GeneXus presented the beta version of the latest update to its suite for cross-platform development and multilanguage, GeneXus 15, which now has access SAP data management optimized for IoT and mobile platforms. But the feature that most emotion aroused among those announced, is Live Editing, which allows immediately see how changes in application development will directly affect the final product, even on different devices at the same time, making the iteration cycle much more efficient and practical.
Companies and organizations such as Amazon, IBM, ITAM, Microsoft and Old Mutual also detailed during the day some of the benefits that the development and implementation of optimal, fast and easy software to generate It provides in its operations, with a unanimous agreement on their positive influence. Against this backdrop between problematic and willing, what would be the answer to “What’s Next?” Initial ?, how to deal with the intense changes that await in the territory to diverse IT companies? “First is to be aware that this is real, that change is happening. We tend to see changes in the past, but we underestimated the future. The “? What’s next” is more a state of mind: I do not know exactly what future innovations will be but I know that there are and we must be prepared to adapt to them, “concluded Nicholas Jodal
