Platform Engineering: Empowering Tech Trends in 2023

As technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, businesses are exploring new avenues to leverage its potential and drive innovation. In this era of transformative technological advancements, platform engineering plays a crucial role. This discipline enables organizations to build robust and scalable platforms that serve as the foundation for emerging tech trends in 2023. In this article, we will explore the significance of platform engineering in shaping these trends and how it acts as a guide to navigating the complex tech landscape.

Cloud-Native Architecture

Cloud-native architecture has gained immense popularity in recent years, and it continues to shape the tech industry in 2023. By leveraging platform engineering principles, organizations can design and build cloud-native applications that are highly scalable, resilient, and efficient. Platform engineering enables businesses to seamlessly adopt cloud services, automate infrastructure provisioning, and implement containerization technologies like Kubernetes. This approach allows companies to develop and deploy applications faster, adapt to fluctuating demands, and reduce operational costs.

Internet of Things (IoT) Integration

The Internet of Things has emerged as a transformative force across industries, connecting devices and enabling data-driven decision-making. Platform engineering plays a crucial role in integrating IoT devices into a cohesive ecosystem. It provides the foundation for secure device communication, data aggregation, and real-time analytics. By following the platform engineering guide, organizations can establish a scalable and reliable IoT infrastructure, ensuring seamless connectivity, efficient data processing, and enhanced user experiences.

By adhering to best practices and leveraging advanced security mechanisms, organizations can ensure data protection, regulatory compliance, and privacy. Platform engineering enables businesses to build secure platforms with features like encryption, access controls, and monitoring tools. This approach fosters trust among customers, stakeholders, and partners, essential for sustained growth and success.

Platform engineering continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the tech trends of 2023. By following platform engineering’s best practices, organizations can build scalable, secure, and efficient platforms that power innovations such as cloud-native architecture, IoT integration, AI and ML, edge computing, and robust data governance. Embracing platform engineering principles empowers businesses to adapt to the ever-changing tech landscape, deliver cutting-edge solutions, and stay ahead of the competition. In this age of transformative tech trends, platform engineering is the guiding light that leads organizations toward success in the digital era.

New property tech platform aims to make tenant selection fairer and simpler

Irish technology company Bynaric today launched a new B2B software platform to help make processing applications for rental accommodation, and selecting and managing tenants, fair, unbiased and transparent.

The FairSelect platform is aimed for use by organisations in the public sector, including affordable housing bodies, as well as by private rental providers.

Users of the software are able to process and select tenant applications based either on a randomised, lottery-style system, or on a first-come-first-served basis.

FairSelect is already being used by a number of public sector organisations, such as local authorities, including Meath County Council, approved housing bodies, including Tuath Housing and Respond, and the Land Development Agency (LDA).

The platform has a self-service feature for tenants that enables people living in rented accommodation to manage their rental contract, report issues relating to the property they are renting, and pay rent online. It also enables transparency for applicants, who, in cases where demand for the rental accommodation they have applied for exceeds supply, can find out where they are in a queue system.

Announcing the launch of FairSelect, Aria Pour, founder and CEO of Bynaric, said: “We believe in a fair and unbiased tenant selection process, and our innovative FairSelect technology uses a random selection process that reduces the potential for human bias and ensures that every applicant is assessed on an equal footing. This is particularly important for the public sector, where there is a need to demonstrate fairness and transparency in decision-making.

“FairSelect’s compliance with GDPR regulations ensures that the selection process and the results are fully auditable. A centralised dashboard and audits allow the housing agency or landlord to maintain transparency in the selection process. The tenant self-service feature empowers tenants to manage their accounts, report issues, and make payments online, improving communication and increasing satisfaction. Rental applicants can also check where they are in a queue and find out if they were skipped for other people and ask if there is a justification for this.”

Mr Pour continued: “By promoting fairness and transparency, FairSelect helps build trust between landlords and potential tenants, and improves the overall reputation of the housing industry. This ultimately benefits both the applicants and future tenants, as they can feel confident that they have been selected based on their qualifications and not on other factors such as biases or unfair preferences.”

FairSelect was launched today at an event at Dogpatch Labs, Dublin, that featured a keynote speech by Bynaric founder and CEO Aria Pour, along with a panel discussion exploring FairSelect, moderated by business advisor Colin Chapman, and featuring Eoghan Ó’Muiris, head of product for Bynaric; Johnny Horgan, MD, BidX1; and Conn Murray, chair of public sector at BDO Ireland.

At the launch event, Mr Pour announced plans by Bynaric for launching FairSelect in the UK market, where it is aiming to open offices in Manchester and London in the next year.

Toast Launches Digital Technology Platform for Hospitality Businesses in Ireland

Toast (NYSE: TOST), the all-in-one digital platform built for restaurants, today announced that its technology is now generally available in Ireland. Toast customers in Ireland will be able to benefit from a range of technology to help them seamlessly connect their entire business operations covering front of house, kitchen, payments, and restaurant partner integrations, alongside access to a customer services and sales team based in Dublin.

“This announcement signals our intent to continue investing in our presence in Ireland, a country that we’ve been proud to call our first European home, since 2017,” said Jen DiRico, Senior Vice President & General Manager of International, Toast. “For the last six years, we’ve been growing our team of customer service, technology, and restaurant experts right here in Ireland, preparing for today’s exciting announcement. In that time we’ve worked with many leading Irish hospitality businesses to understand how we can help similar restaurants in Ireland improve service, support staff, cut costs, and increase efficiencies through our technology.

“Today, we’re thrilled to announce that our technology, built for restaurants by restaurant people, is formally rolling out across Ireland. This announcement marks an important milestone for Toast as we bring our platform, trusted by approximately 79,000 restaurant locations in the U.S., to restaurants across Ireland.”

BANG Restaurant Partners with Toast

Toast’s Ireland team has been working with select hospitality businesses, including BANG restaurant and wine bar in Dublin, to custom build its technology to meet the unique needs of Irish restaurants.

“Since integrating Toast into our restaurant, we’ve seen the overall efficiency of the business improve and it’s a much easier place to run. By implementing tableside ordering with Toast handhelds alongside a kitchen display system (KDS), BANG has seen ticket turn time improve, meaning the dishes are coming out faster because the orders are going in faster,” said Joe Barrett, Owner of BANG restaurant and wine bar, Dublin. “The system has not only improved the front-of-house operations, but it’s eliminated many hours a week in terms of admin work. Their on-the-ground support team is incredible, and Toast completely understands every aspect of the restaurant business and how to help.”

All-in-One Technology Tailored for Irish Restaurants

Toast’s all-in-one product suite has been tailored to help Irish restaurants thrive by providing technology focused on streamlining operations, growing revenue, empowering staff, and improving the bottom line. Using Toast’s platform, restaurants in Ireland can benefit from:

  • Point of Sale (POS), Software, and Payments Together: By integrating POS, software, and payments in one, Toast provides enhanced customer service compared to the traditional model of non-integrated or semi-integrated payments. Toast’s platform also offers a seamless payment experience for both guests and staff, with reliable, accurate, and automated payment reconciliation.
  • Toast GoTM Handheld Mobile POS Devices: Toast handhelds put the power of a POS in the palm of a server’s hand, allowing servers to fire orders directly from the table to increase throughput and order accuracy, all while allowing for greater efficiency, to cover more tables during a typical shift by eliminating the trips back and forth to a central POS terminal.
  • Kitchen Display Systems (KDS): Toast KDS increase kitchen efficiency and productivity by converting legacy paper tickets into digital tickets that won’t get lost; allowing for more clearly visible modifiers or changes; and helping improve communication between front and back of house. Toast KDS also provides valuable productivity metrics into item-level prep times to identify and improve bottlenecks in the kitchen.
  • Robust Cloud-Based Reporting: Easy to use, fast reporting from Toast allows operators to keep tabs on their business from anywhere, with real-time restaurant specific reports across sales, labour, product mix, and beyond, across one location or many.
  • Growing Partner Ecosystem: Toast is rapidly expanding its international partner ecosystem of robust integrations with best-in-class technology providers across reservations, inventory, labour management, online ordering and delivery, loyalty, guest engagement, and more.
  • Ireland-based Service and Support: From onsite installation and training to 24/7/365 award-winning customer support, Toast offers local service and support that’s custom built for the demanding needs of the fast-paced hospitality industry.

Toast established its European presence in 2017 with the opening of its first Dublin office, an R&D Centre of Excellence. Toast has since added functions in Ireland, including sales, marketing, and customer support in the last year and moved to a larger location in Dublin’s St Stephen’s Green in 2022.

Irish Team Leads Rollout of Affordable Healthcare Platform for Millions in Africa

A new platform, that aims to bring affordable primary healthcare to millions of people in Africa for as little as €7 per month, has launched this month following a collaboration between a team based in Dublin and their South African colleagues.

Lead by Irish woman Elaine Devereux, managing director of Lucky Beard in Dublin and its chief creative officer James Nelson, also based in Dublin, Unu Health is a digital platform that uses technology to drive down the cost of primary healthcare and empower the 50 million people in South Africa that currently rely on state healthcare to significantly improve their health and wellbeing.

According to recent reports, South Africa’s healthcare remains a two-tiered space, where access to private healthcare remains linked to the ability to pay for private medical scheme membership. Private healthcare accounts for 50% of the total expenditure on health, and supports only 17% of the population.

Seed-funded by the Standard Bank Group, the largest bank in Africa, Unu Health is initially targeting the 5.5 million formally employed population that cannot afford medical aid, with the launch of a corporate offering that enables employers to provide access to private primary healthcare for their employees.

“This breakthrough in healthcare has the potential to transform the lives of millions of people in Africa, where the average life expectancy falls ten years below the global average and the majority of the population rely on an overstretched public healthcare system, often waiting days to see a doctor,” said Devereux, whose global team from Dublin and South Africa are the lead advisors across strategy, brand, product design, and technology.

“Over the past 18 months, our teams have worked tirelessly to develop a solution that provides affordable, accessible, and effective primary care to individuals who previously had limited options.

“Unu Health uses innovative technology to simplify access to healthcare and drastically improve the patient experience while driving down the cost, much like Revolut did for banking, with the ambition to bring ‘healthcare that makes you smile.

“The initial offering will not only improve the health and wellbeing of employees but also enables employers to develop informed HR strategies and wellness initiatives that reduce absenteeism and ultimately enhance productivity.”

The app enables people to manage all of their healthcare needs in one place, offering easy access to their health records and medical history.  Users can get an up-to-date clinically valid health score updated each month and plug in their private health insurance plan so they can view and track their benefit use over time. They can also chat instantly to a nurse or doctor via WhatsApp or video call using a network of 3,400 private GPs, 8 000 specialists and 3,500 pharmacies across South Africa.

Tania Joffe, CEO and Principal of Unu Health, says the platform’s vision is to transform the delivery of quality primary healthcare in Africa, making it accessible, affordable and dignified for all. “Owing to the friction involved in accessing primary healthcare, most South Africans initially self-medicate acute symptoms while their chronic conditions go largely undiagnosed. As a result, on any day 15% of the workforce is absent – that’s 2.25 million people who are not at work.

“We’re looking to change the status quo by removing the friction and develop a hyperconnected patient-centred ecosystem linking healthcare users, healthtech resources as well as traditional in-person health resources, via an inclusive platform that is intuitive and easy to use from mobiles.

Methods of promoting a page on Instagram in 2022

Instagram is gaining more and more popularity every year. In 2022, it has almost 1.5 billion active users! A huge leap occurred in the period from 2019 to 2021, when the number of users increased by as much as 383 million! For a better understanding: experts predicted such an increase in active users already for 2024. In general, nobody doubts the crazy popularity of this platform. Instagram literally breaks all records. So this is a great chance to promote your own blog on this platform. In this article we will look at both free promotion methods (mutual likes, subscriptions, comments) and paid ones (such as targeting and the ability to buy Instagram followers

Where to start?

It is  recommended starting with simple free promotion methods. First, share a link to your new blog in your personal account and ask your mates, co-workers and relatives to subscribe to you. So you will have the first few dozen subscribers.

Then you can start mutual liking, commenting and subscribing. We recommend using these methods of promotion only at the earliest stages of the development of your blog. Unfortunately, they take a very long time, and their positive effect is much lower than that of paid promotion methods. In addition, if you are not developing your own small business or a small blog about life, but want to promote the account of an entire company, then it is better not to consider this method at all. And go straight to paid promotion methods.

What paid methods of promotion are there?

Many famous bloggers say that they used the opportunity to buy followers Instagram. Such subs will like, watch stories and publications, as well as be active in your profile in every possible way. Among other things, this method of promotion saves a huge amount of time that you can spend on topics and schedule of publication of posts, good quality photos of your blog and thinking through options for interactions with your audience. Such people work effectively with companies for a reward. Many advantages! Of course, in this case, the most important thing is to choose a reliable and proven company.

After that, it will be quite effective to use targeting. Just remember that your advertising should attract potential customers and subscribers. They should want not just to follow the advertising link, but also to stay in the profile, and in a perfect case scenario — to use your services. For this, as it might seem, not only advertising is important. We at techbuzz do not pay any form of money for followers etc it has to be noted. 

Of course, a high-quality bright professional photo, a clear font, attractive, honest and understandable offers will certainly hook people. But an equally crucial aspect is the correct understanding of your target audience. You should clearly understand who your potential client is — a man or a woman, a young or a more mature person, in which city they live and what they are interested in. Don’t try to reach absolutely all Instagram users! Target only those who will really be interested in your product.

Spare no time for careful planning of your profile development strategy, and everything will definitely work out!
