Worst thing about having taken business classes is that I see people complain about bullshit companies are pulling and a part of my brain goes "Oh, that's an effective tactic for cost reduction" or something around those lines. And then the part of my brain that is Not a wannabe businessman is just like "Bro."
#speculation nation#or anything on data management or anything like that. bfkshfmsbd#been learning about company perspectives and what have you. unfortunately i understand businesses more than i ever planned to.#such is the IT major at my school </3 i did already finish my business classes already#but im in data governance class now which deals a lot with the ways companies handle their data.#learning about policies and harm reduction tactics and data lifecycles and what have you#looking at the scaffolding of a company's data system and recognizing just how fragile it all is.#a side effect of all this is me feeling less angry about websites trying to make money.#advertisements and subscription services are aggravating. but hosting a website is *expensive*.#if they cant at least break even then the website is a resource drain and isnt sustainable in the long run.#not unless it's a damned passion project of a bigger conglomerate. and you'll find those are exceedingly rare.#so im annoyed by advertisements as much as the next person. but if theyre kept relatively unobtrusive then i dont mind them too much.#now ads that pop up to cover the whole screen. or god forbid youtube's unskippable 30+ second ads#THOSE are so obnoxious. the youtube ads especially.#had a few of those some weeks back when prepping my presentation that had me wanting to tear my hair out.#30+ seconds and NO SOUND EITHER. literally ridiculous.#anyways im definitely not a business sympathizer Especially when it comes to predatory practices#but for those more daily functions kinds of things... idk man sometimes these things just gotta happen.

Stackpack Secures $6.3M to Reinvent Vendor Management in an AI-Driven Business Landscape
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/stackpack-secures-6-3m-to-reinvent-vendor-management-in-an-ai-driven-business-landscape/
Stackpack Secures $6.3M to Reinvent Vendor Management in an AI-Driven Business Landscape


In a world where third-party tools, services, and contractors form the operational backbone of modern companies, Stackpack has raised $6.3 million to bring order to the growing complexity.
Led by Freestyle Capital, the funding round includes support from Elefund, Upside Partnership, Nomad Ventures, Layout Ventures, MSIV Fund, and strategic angels from Intuit, Workday, Affirm, Snapdocs, and xAI.
The funding supports Stackpack’s mission to redefine how businesses manage their expanding vendor networks—an increasingly vital task as organizations now juggle hundreds or even thousands of external partners and platforms.
Turning Chaos into Control
Founded in 2023 by Sara Wyman, formerly of Etsy and Affirm, Stackpack was built to solve a problem she knew too well: modern companies are powered by vendors, yet most still track them with outdated methods—spreadsheets, scattered documents, and guesswork. With SaaS stacks ballooning and AI tools proliferating, unmanaged vendors become silent liabilities.
“Companies call themselves ‘people-first,’ but in reality, they’re becoming ‘vendor-first,’” said Wyman. “There are often 6x more vendors than employees. Yet there’s no system of record to manage that shift—until now.”
Stackpack gives finance and IT teams a unified, AI-powered dashboard that provides real-time visibility into vendor contracts, spend, renewals, and compliance risks. The platform automatically extracts key contract terms like auto-renewal clauses, flags overlapping subscriptions, and even predicts upcoming renewals buried deep in PDFs.
AI That Works Like a Virtual Vendor Manager
Stackpack’s Behavioral AI Engine acts as an intelligent assistant, surfacing hidden cost-saving opportunities, compliance risks, and critical dates. It not only identifies inefficiencies—it takes action, issuing alerts, initiating workflows, and providing recommendations across the vendor lifecycle.
For instance:
Renewal alerts prevent surprise charges.
Spend tracking identifies underused or duplicate tools.
Contract intelligence extracts legal and pricing terms from uploads or integrations with tools like Google Drive.
Approval workflows streamline onboarding and procurement.
This brings the kind of automation once reserved for enterprise procurement platforms like Coupa or SAP to startups and mid-sized businesses—at a fraction of the cost.
A Timely Solution for a Growing Problem
Vendor management has become a boardroom issue. As more companies shift budgets from headcount to outsourced services, compliance and financial oversight have become harder to maintain. Stackpack’s early traction is proof of demand: just months after launch, it’s managing over 10,500 vendors and $510 million in spend across more than 50 customers, including Every Man Jack, Rho, Density, HouseRx, Fexa, and ZeroEyes.
“The CFO is the one left holding the bag when things go wrong,” said Brandon Lee, Accounting Manager at BizzyCar. “Stackpack means we don’t have to cross our fingers every quarter.”
Beyond Visibility: Enabling Smarter Vendor Decisions
Alongside its core platform, Stackpack is launching Requests & Approvals, a lightweight tool to simplify vendor onboarding and purchasing decisions—currently in beta. The feature is already attracting customers looking for faster, more agile alternatives to traditional procurement systems.
With a long-term vision to help companies not only manage but discover and evaluate vendors more strategically, Stackpack is laying the groundwork for a smarter, interconnected vendor ecosystem.
“Every vendor decision carries legal, financial, and security consequences,” said Dave Samuel, General Partner at Freestyle Capital. “Stackpack is building the intelligent infrastructure to manage these relationships proactively.”
The Future of Vendor Operations
As third-party ecosystems grow in size and complexity, Stackpack aims to transform vendor operations from a liability into a competitive advantage. Its AI-powered approach gives companies a modern operating system for vendor management—one that’s scalable, proactive, and deeply integrated into finance and operations.
“This isn’t just about cost control—it’s about running a smarter company,” said Wyman. “Managing your vendors should be as strategic as managing your talent. We’re giving companies the tools to make that possible.”
With fresh funding and a rapidly expanding customer base, Stackpack is poised to become the new standard for how modern businesses manage the partners powering their growth.

IBM Maximo AWS Deployment Strategies
The Business Value of IBM Maximo, a recent IDC report that surveyed 9 companies with an average of 8,500 employees, found that adopting IBM Maximo resulted in a business benefit of USD 14.6 million per year per organization, 43% less unplanned downtime, and USD 8.6 million in total equipment cost avoidances.
One comprehensive, cloud-based application platform for asset monitoring, management, predictive maintenance, and reliability planning is IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS). Maximo optimizes performance, extends asset lifecycles, and reduces downtime and costs for high-value assets using AI and analytics. Hosting Maximo on a scalable infrastructure maximizes performance, hence the current tendency is to shift it to the cloud. In this trip, MAS migration and deployment on AWS Cloud are gaining popularity.
The growing demand for Maximo AWS Cloud migration
Migrating to cloud helps enterprises improve operational resilience and dependability while updating software with minimal effort and infrastructure constraints. Due to the growing demand for data-driven asset management, firms must aggregate data from diverse departments to identify trends, generate predictions, and make better asset management decisions.
Last April, IBM said Maximo 7.6 and add-on support would stop in September 2025. All Maximo EAM customers must upgrade to the latest cloud-based MAS. Maximo migration and modernization are become increasingly significant to clients.
IBM has released new containerized versions of Maximo Application Suite as a Service (MAS SaaS) on AWS Marketplace with Bring Your Own License (BYOL) to assist Maximo migration to AWS. MAS SaaS on AWS is another milestone in Maximo’s integration of Monitor, Health, and Visual Inspection into a unified suite.
What makes MAS SaaS distinct
IBM Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) specialists use best practices to continuously maintain and administer MAS SaaS, a subscription-based AWS service. This partnership gives customers an industry-leading IBM asset management system underpinned by AWS’s size, agility, and cost-efficiency.
Upgrades and migrations to MAS 8 are possible with MAS SaaS. The data update is similar to prior upgrades, but ROSA and other dependencies require architecture changes. The migration is comparable to how clients transitioned from on-premise to Maximo EAM SaaS Flex, but with MAS changes. Perpetual on-premises customers would stop paying Service & Support (S&S) and purchase a SaaS subscription, on-premises Subscription License customers would start a new subscription, and existing MAS Flex and MAS Managed Service customers would start a new subscription to migrate to MAS SaaS.
Our IBM Consulting Cloud Accelerator (ICCA) technology lets firms plan migration and upgrade strategies before investing.
Maximo migration strategy of a global energy firm
IBM worked closely with an energy company confronting the following challenges:
Infrastructure needed for latest Maximo version takes longer.
WebSphere, Maximo’s core, experienced high-availability and performance difficulties.
Lack of data fabric and integration layer hinders cross-application data interchange.
Complex setup, failures, and security with manual end-to-end deployment.
Since Maximo Application Suite 8 (MAS8) tackles industry issues like failure risk, escalating maintenance costs, sustainability, and compliance laws, the customer chose it. The client chose AWS Cloud for its deployment flexibility, scalability, high availability, and secure architecture.
Approach to solution
This is how IBM accelerated the energy company’s Maximo move to AWS:
Used Infra as a code to upgrade Maximo from 7.6.0.9 to 7.6.1.2.
IaC allowed instance spin-up for auto scaling. This automation reduces the time to spin up and execute the new environment and addresses multi-AWS availability zone deployment latency.
Used AWS DMS for data migration and schema conversion.
IaC spun the DR environment on demand to reduce database replication (DR) infrastructure and expense. DR capabilities update data in availability zone and DR area.
Achieved data exchange across applications using IBM Cloud Pak for Data and standardized integration using IBM Cloud Pak for Integration components.
Solution components
Maximum Enterprise Application Management (EAM) has a 3-tier design with these components:
HTTP/Web Tier and Application Tier using IBM WebSphere and HIS installed EC2 instance under private subnet for application security.
Database Tier uses AWS Oracle RDS with replication for DR under private subnet.
AWS best practices were used to configure VPC with public and private subnets.
Application servers and deployment manager were autoscaled by Auto Scaling Group.
Maximum web-based UI resolution for external access using AWS Route 53.
WAF was the initial line of defense against web exploits.
Integration of Terraform and CFT IaC scripts provided autoscaling architecture.
AWS Reference Architecture
Max on RedHat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) helps clients
Containerized MAS 8.0 runs on RedHat OpenShift. AWS, IBM, and RedHat developed an IBM MAS on ROSA reference architecture to help customers inexperienced with production containerization. ROSA, a fully managed, turnkey application platform, supports IBM MAS configuration and offloads cluster lifecycle management to RedHat and AWS, allowing organizations to focus on application deployment and innovation. This means IBM MAS clients don’t need to develop, administer, or maintain RedHat OpenShift clusters.
Operating Model and Maximo Migration
Top 3 Maximo AWS migration accelerators
Clients can migrate to the cloud using three IBM MAS deployment methods on AWS Cloud:
ROSA-powered MAS SaaS on AWS
ROSA-powered AWS MAS
Customer-hosted ROSA
Why use customer-hosted ROSA
The customer-hosted ROSA option for hosting IBM MAS in a customer’s VPC with ROSA is powerful. ROSA is perfect for MAS deployments because it seamlessly deploys, scales, and manages containerized applications.
The benefits of this choice are enormous. Full control over the infrastructure while still subject to the organization’s monitoring, controls, and governance standards allows businesses to customize and adjust the environment to their needs. This control includes adding MAS integrations and enforcing cloud security and governance requirements. ROSA charges are combined into one AWS bill and drawn from any AWS enterprise agreement, simplifying financial management.
AWS enterprise agreements and Compute Savings Plans offer infrastructure savings for MAS implementations. Because the ROSA cluster operates under the customer’s AWS account, customers can buy upfront ROSA contracts and get a one-year or three-year ROSA service charge discount.
Why IBM for Maximo AWS migration?
Any modernization effort must include cloud migration. Cloud migration is not a one-size-fits-all method, and each organization faces unique cloud adoption difficulties.
IBM Consulting’s Application Modernization offering helps clients migrate and modernize AWS applications faster, cheaper, and more efficiently, reducing technical debt and accelerating digital initiatives while minimizing business risk and improving business agility.
IBM offers unique cloud migration services to accelerate customer application migration to AWS:
Cloud migration factory capabilities including proven frameworks and processes, automation, migrating templates, security policies, and AWS-specific migration squads speed up delivery.
IBM Garage Methodology, IBM’s cloud services delivery capabilities, ROSA, and AWS Migration tools and accelerators accelerate migration and cloud adoption.
ICCA, IBM’s proprietary framework for migration and modernization, reduces risk. ICCA for AWS Cloud automates various modernization procedures, simplifying and speeding up company agility. Before investing, businesses can plan migration and modernization strategies. Discover IBM Consulting Cloud Accelerator for AWS Cloud.
Our well-defined pattern-based migration methodology includes re-factor, re-platform, and containerization using AWS managed services and industry-leading tools to remove and optimize technical debt.
Finally, IBM offers customizable t-shirt-sized price models for small, medium, and large migration sizes, ensuring clients’ migration scope is obvious.
IBM helps clients migrate applications, like Maximo to AWS Cloud
In conclusion, clients seek IBM’s expertise to:
1.Upgrade Maximo 7.6x (expiring 2025) to MAS 8.
2.On-premise workload to AWS Cloud for elastic, scalable, and highly available infrastructure and runtime
IBM Consulting can help
AWS Premier Partner IBM Consulting accelerates hybrid cloud journeys on the AWS Cloud by leveraging business and IT transformation skills, processes, and tools from many industries. On AWS Cloud, IBM’s security, enterprise scalability, and open innovation with Red Hat OpenShift enable enterprises grow swiftly.
BM Consulting develops cloud-native apps in AWS Cloud with 21,000+ AWS-certified cloud practitioners, 17 validated SDD programs, and 16 AWS competencies. IBM Consulting is the best AWS partner due to acquisitions like Nordcloud and Taos, advancements at IBM Research, and co-development with AWS.

I remember learning about this in an engineering class at university years ago (when subscription services were not yet ubiquitous) that “as a service” was going to be great for the environment as it would require companies to consider the lifecycle of their products from cradle to grave, so that they would need to come up with solutions to disposing of worn out products; the example was “office carpet as a service”.
Weird how so many things have become subscriptions that just take away ownership and make relatively-inexpensive commodities costly (like musical recordings)
I’ve probably said this before but having every good and service turn into a subscription model is one of the worst new developments of our era of capitalism. Like yeah, shit sucked before but it didn’t suck for 19.99 a month indefinitely. This some new shit.

How to Create a Marketing Budget Plan That Works
In today's highly competitive digital landscape, a well-structured marketing budget is more than just a financial necessity—it’s a strategic asset. Businesses of all sizes, from startups to large enterprises, require a clear roadmap to spend their marketing dollars wisely and achieve maximum ROI. An effective marketing budget plan outlines where to invest, how much to allocate, and what to expect in return.
Before diving into the tools and templates, it’s crucial to understand why budgeting is the foundation of every successful marketing initiative. Whether you're launching a new product or scaling up an existing campaign, a tailored budget ensures you stay focused and financially agile.
Why You Need a Marketing Budget Plan
Without a defined marketing budget, businesses risk overspending on ineffective channels or underfunding high-performing tactics. A budget aligns your marketing strategy with your business goals, sets financial limits, and allows for better decision-making throughout the campaign lifecycle.
For a detailed breakdown and expert advice, this budget for marketing plan guide offers in-depth insights into planning, allocating, and optimizing your marketing expenses efficiently.
Key Elements of a Marketing Budget Plan
A robust marketing budget plan should be comprehensive and data-driven. Below are the core components that make up a successful budget:
1. Business Objectives
Start by identifying your short-term and long-term goals. Are you aiming for brand awareness, lead generation, or customer retention? Your objectives directly impact how your budget should be allocated.
2. Target Audience and Market Research
Understanding your audience’s behaviors and preferences is key to selecting the right marketing channels. Research helps in forecasting campaign performance and allocating budgets to areas with the highest potential ROI.
3. Marketing Channels
Divide your budget across channels such as:
Digital advertising (Google Ads, social media)
Content marketing
SEO
Email campaigns
Offline marketing (events, print)
4. Estimated Costs
Break down the projected costs for each channel. Include ad spend, software subscriptions, agency fees, freelance services, and content production costs.
5. Performance Metrics
Define how you'll measure success—click-through rates, conversion rates, cost per acquisition, etc. Set benchmarks to assess whether your spending yields desired outcomes.
How to Allocate Your Budget Wisely
Start with Data from Past Campaigns
Use historical data as a guide to allocate funds to high-performing areas. If your last content marketing campaign outperformed paid ads, it might make sense to divert more budget to content.
Prioritize Core Channels
Don’t spread your budget too thin. Instead, focus on 2–3 core channels where your audience is most active. This helps in getting measurable results and refining your strategy.
Account for Flexibility
Marketing trends evolve quickly. Allocate a percentage of your budget for experimental campaigns or real-time marketing opportunities.
Tips for Staying Within Budget
Even with a solid plan, budget overruns can happen. Here are some tips to keep your finances in check:
1. Track Spending Regularly
Use tools like Google Sheets, HubSpot, or budgeting software to monitor your expenses in real time. This will alert you before you exceed limits.
2. Optimize Campaigns Mid-Way
Don’t wait until the campaign ends to review performance. Adjust targeting, bidding, and content based on current metrics.
3. Set Aside a Contingency Fund
A good rule is to allocate 5–10% of your budget for unexpected costs. This can be a lifesaver when something urgent comes up.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Underestimating Costs
Not accounting for hidden or variable expenses—such as licensing fees, ad inflation, or unexpected outsourcing—can derail your budget quickly.
Ignoring ROI Tracking
Without tracking return on investment, you won't know which strategies are worth repeating or scaling.
Skipping Planning Altogether
Jumping into marketing without a documented budget can result in poor allocation, inconsistent messaging, and financial inefficiency.
Final Thoughts
A solid marketing budget plan is the backbone of any successful marketing strategy. It brings structure, ensures smart spending, and enhances accountability across your team. By aligning your goals with a realistic financial framework, you can boost your marketing efficiency and drive sustainable business growth.
For businesses looking to streamline their marketing strategy, Wordsmithh provides expert insights, tools, and services to help you plan and execute your campaigns effectively.

Why Developers and Marketers Love Direct Mail APIs for Campaign Automation
In an age dominated by digital noise, direct mail marketing has made a powerful comeback—this time fueled by technology. Developers and marketers are increasingly turning to Direct Mail APIs to automate personalized, data-driven physical mail campaigns. These APIs bridge the gap between digital interfaces and physical customer engagement, making offline outreach as measurable and scalable as online marketing.
This article explores why marketers are adopting direct mail APIs, their benefits, use cases, and how these tools redefine campaign automation for ROI-focused teams.
What is a Direct Mail API?
A Direct Mail API (Application Programming Interface) is a digital interface that enables developers to programmatically send physical mail—such as letters, postcards, brochures, and catalogs—via third-party mailing services. These APIs integrate with CRM systems, marketing automation platforms, and eCommerce platforms to streamline offline customer communication workflows.
Why Developers Love Direct Mail APIs
1. Easy Integration with Tech Stacks
Developers appreciate APIs that integrate seamlessly with modern SaaS tools like Salesforce, HubSpot, Shopify, and Zapier. Most direct mail APIs offer RESTful architecture with SDKs for languages like Python, PHP, Java, and Node.js.
2. Scalability for High-Volume Campaigns
With direct mail APIs, developers can automate batch sending of thousands of personalized letters or postcards in a single call. This scalability is invaluable for large enterprises managing multi-region campaigns.
3. Workflow Automation
Developers use direct mail APIs to set event-based triggers—such as cart abandonment, renewal reminders, or subscription milestones—to dispatch personalized physical mail without human intervention.
4. Error Handling and Webhooks
Modern APIs support advanced features like webhooks for delivery status, error handling, tracking, and debugging. This allows developers to create resilient workflows with full visibility into the mail lifecycle.
Why Marketers Love Direct Mail APIs
1. Campaign Personalization at Scale
Marketers can personalize content, images, and offers based on CRM data—similar to email marketing but through a tangible medium. APIs allow for variable data printing, making each piece of mail unique.
2. Multichannel Marketing Integration
Direct mail can now be part of a unified omnichannel strategy. APIs make it easy to trigger a postcard after a user opens an email, clicks an ad, or visits a store.
3. Enhanced Tracking and ROI Attribution
APIs allow marketers to track direct mail effectiveness via UTM links, QR codes, PURLs (Personalized URLs), and call tracking. When paired with analytics tools, it provides measurable ROI data.
4. A/B Testing and Optimization
Thanks to APIs, A/B testing of creative elements and offers in direct mail is now possible, just like in digital campaigns. Marketers can analyze engagement metrics and iterate campaigns based on real-world responses.
Use Cases of Direct Mail APIs
E-Commerce: Sending automated thank-you cards, reactivation offers, and abandoned cart reminders.
Financial Services: Dispatching compliance letters, account statements, and loan approval notices.
Healthcare: Mailing HIPAA-compliant appointment reminders, test results, and wellness tips.
SaaS: Re-engaging dormant users with custom postcards and win-back offers.
Education: Sending enrollment letters, alumni newsletters, and fundraising appeals.
Security and Compliance Benefits
Reputable Direct Mail APIs are GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2 compliant. For developers handling sensitive data, this ensures legal and ethical handling of personal information.
Top Direct Mail API Providers
Lob
PostGrid
Click2Mail
Postalytics
Sendoso
Each of these providers offers comprehensive documentation, sandbox environments, and real-time tracking capabilities, making them ideal for modern development and marketing teams.
Conclusion
Developers love Direct Mail APIs for their programmability, reliability, and scalability. Marketers love them for personalization, ROI attribution, and omnichannel strategy execution. Together, they create a synergy that elevates traditional direct mail into a dynamic, data-driven marketing tool.
Whether you're building high-volume campaigns or refining customer journeys, direct mail APIs offer a competitive edge in an increasingly crowded digital world.

Hire Developers: Build Scalable, Future-Ready Digital Products
In the digital age, the difference between a successful product and a failed one often comes down to the quality of the team behind it. Whether you're launching a new app, scaling your platform, or implementing next-gen technologies, the need to hire developers with the right skills, mindset, and experience is more critical than ever.
Today, businesses across industries—from startups to large enterprises—are not just looking for coders. They’re looking for problem solvers, product thinkers, and technology partners who can turn complex ideas into scalable, reliable solutions.
If you're planning to build a future-ready digital product, the smartest move you can make is to hire developers who understand not just code, but the product, the market, and the users.
Why Hiring the Right Developers Matters
In today’s hyper-competitive tech landscape, hiring just any developer won’t cut it. You need professionals who bring more than technical skills—people who align with your vision and help you innovate with agility.
Here's what the right developers bring to the table:
Faster Time-to-Market: Agile development means your idea goes live quicker.
Scalability: Code that grows with your product and user base.
Security & Compliance: Best practices to protect data and ensure trust.
Performance Optimization: Apps that load faster and deliver seamless UX.
Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Developers who work well with designers, PMs, and QA teams.
From SaaS experts building subscription-based platforms to AI engineers powering intelligent apps, success starts with hiring the right development talent.
When Should You Hire Developers?
You should consider hiring developers when:
You're launching a new digital product or MVP
You're scaling an existing platform and need bandwidth
You want to integrate AI product development into your systems
You're modernizing legacy software
You're expanding into Web3 or decentralized technologies
Having the right developers ensures your goals are met efficiently, cost-effectively, and without technical debt down the line.
Key Qualities to Look for When Hiring Developers
Whether you're building in-house or outsourcing to a trusted partner, here’s what you should look for:
1. Technical Expertise
Frontend: React, Angular, Vue.js
Backend: Node.js, Python, Go
Mobile: Flutter, React Native
Cloud & DevOps: AWS, GCP, Docker, CI/CD
2. Product Thinking
Look for developers who understand business goals and user needs—not just code requirements.
3. Experience with Emerging Tech
Hiring developers with experience in AI product development or Web3 ensures your product is built with a future-proof approach.
4. Team Collaboration
Great developers are team players who collaborate with designers, QA testers, and product owners seamlessly.
5. Problem-Solving Skills
The best developers don’t just fix bugs—they prevent them and solve deeper architectural challenges.
Hire Developers for Every Stage of Your Product Lifecycle
Whether you're at the idea stage or scaling post-launch, skilled developers can step in at various phases:
Prototype & MVP Development
Full-Scale Product Engineering
AI and Machine Learning Integration
Cloud & DevOps Setup
Ongoing Maintenance & Optimization
Expert teams, including SaaS experts, also provide architectural and strategic input to make sure your product is ready for high traffic, security threats, and future expansion.
The Rise of Global Development Talent
Thanks to remote collaboration and cloud-based workflows, companies can now tap into global talent pools. Hiring developers remotely allows access to:
Specialized skill sets not available locally
Faster development cycles with 24/7 global teams
Cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality
Trusted Web3 development companies and AI-first teams often operate globally, delivering robust digital products across time zones and tech stacks.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Hiring Developers
Hiring based only on price: Cheap doesn’t always mean efficient or reliable.
Focusing only on hard skills: Soft skills and communication matter.
No clear scope or onboarding: Lack of clarity slows down even the best developers.
Not evaluating portfolio or live projects: Always check past work before hiring.
Why Partner with a Product Engineering Company?
While freelancers can help with short-term tasks, building scalable products often requires an entire team. That’s where development partners like SaaS experts and AI-focused agencies come in.
Benefits include:
Access to cross-functional teams (developers, designers, PMs, QA)
Dedicated support from idea to launch
Agile development processes
Proven frameworks and reusable assets
If you're developing anything beyond a basic app—especially in AI, blockchain, or multi-tenant SaaS—it’s smart to hire developers from companies with domain-specific experience.
Final Thoughts
Hiring the right developers is not just a technical decision—it’s a strategic business move. Whether you're building an AI-powered application, a SaaS product, or a decentralized platform with blockchain elements, success starts with finding developers who understand your mission and deliver real value.
To innovate at scale, compete globally, and create long-lasting digital products, you need more than code—you need people who think like partners.Ready to take the next step? Hire developers who can turn your vision into powerful, scalable, and intelligent software.

5 IT Cost Saving Strategies for Your Enterprise Infrastructure
Managing enterprise IT infrastructure is a balancing act between performance, reliability, and cost. As technology evolves rapidly, so do expenses. To stay competitive and efficient, IT managers must find smart ways to reduce costs without compromising service quality or security. Below are five proven IT cost-saving strategies that can make a meaningful impact on your enterprise infrastructure.
1. Extend the Life of Existing Hardware
Rather than defaulting to frequent hardware refresh cycles, enterprises can often extend the life of servers, storage devices, and networking hardware through proper maintenance and strategic upgrades. Partnering with a third-party maintenance provider for post-warranty support can reduce costs by 30-70% compared to OEM contracts.
💡 Tip: Use asset lifecycle management tools to monitor hardware health and optimize replacement timing based on performance, not just age.
2. Leverage Cloud and Hybrid Infrastructure
Moving specific workloads to the cloud—or adopting a hybrid cloud model—can reduce the cost of owning and maintaining physical infrastructure. Cloud services provide flexibility and scalability, allowing you to pay only for what you use.
💡 Tip: Use cloud cost optimization tools to avoid waste, identify underutilized instances, and right-size your resources.
3. Optimize Software Licensing
Licensing costs can quietly eat into IT budgets. Regular audits of software usage can help identify unused or underutilized licenses, especially with large suites or per-user subscription models.
💡 Tip: Consider switching to open-source or lower-cost alternatives for certain tools, and negotiate volume discounts or enterprise agreements with vendors.
4. Consolidate and Virtualize Resources
Server consolidation through virtualization reduces the need for physical hardware, power, and cooling. It also simplifies management, backup, and disaster recovery planning.
💡 Tip: Evaluate opportunities for workload consolidation across departments and assess whether underused servers can be decommissioned or repurposed.
5. Implement Preventive Maintenance and Monitoring
Downtime is costly. By implementing proactive monitoring tools and a preventive maintenance strategy, you can catch performance issues before they lead to outages or data loss—saving both money and reputation.
💡 Tip: Schedule regular health checks for your servers and storage systems, and set up alerts for threshold-based issues like CPU spikes or disk failure warnings.
Final Thoughts
Cost optimization isn’t about cutting corners—it’s about making smarter, data-driven decisions. With the right strategies, enterprises can lower IT infrastructure costs while improving agility, performance, and reliability. Evaluate your current infrastructure and consider where these strategies can have the most immediate impact.

Innovative Revenue Streams for Filmmakers
The era when box office performance was the primary indicator of a filmmaker’s financial achievement is largely behind us. Ticket sales continue to lag behind pre-pandemic numbers, and getting an indie film into theaters is more challenging than ever. Contemporary filmmakers must shift their perspective away from traditional box office results as the final goal and instead develop smarter, more resilient revenue plans by leveraging multiple innovative income streams. Here’s a look at the most practical—and occasionally unexpected—methods creative professionals are using to thrive in today’s evolving market.
Harnessing Digital Distribution
Starting with streaming was originally a temporary measure, but it has now become the standard approach for film releases. A growing number of films are launching simultaneously on digital platforms and in theaters, allowing them to reach wide, international audiences instantly. Beyond well-known streaming giants, free ad-supported platforms such as The Roku Channel are expanding quickly, providing opportunities even for smaller projects. Smart filmmakers adopt various models—not just one—such as advertising-supported video on demand (AVOD), subscription services (SVOD), and transactional pay-per-view (TVOD). Offering content across these channels helps attract different audience segments and extends a film’s earning lifecycle.
Consider also segmenting your content. Selling or licensing clips for social media use, creating podcasts or instructional segments derived from scenes, can lengthen your film’s relevance and income potential. Platforms employing algorithms and data can assist in tailoring releases towards viewers most likely to engage. Still, it’s essential to review the analytics yourself—identify what’s effective and optimize rapidly.
Driving Revenue through Ads and User-Generated Content
Advertising has transformed dramatically compared to just a few years ago. Filmmakers can now collaborate directly with brands eager to reach your specific audience—often willing to invest in product placements or co-branded content that feels natural and authentic to viewers. The key is subtlety, working with sponsors to seamlessly integrate product moments into your story.
User-generated content (UGC) monetization is also booming. Platforms share advertising revenue with dedicated fans or enable viewers to create and profit from derivative videos—think remakes shot-by-shot, reaction videos, or “in-universe” content, all of which circle back to your film. This user participation not only boosts engagement but also significantly amplifies reach, leading to increased digital revenue.
Engaging with Direct Funding and Crowdfunding
Raising funds no longer requires solely traditional investors. Crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter, along with fan-supported sites such as Patreon and Seed&Spark, allow audiences to directly finance your projects. These supporters become invested, generating the kind of enthusiastic community many indie filmmakers once only wished for. Offering perks like exclusive Q&As, behind-the-scenes access, or limited-edition merchandise creates additional income streams while deepening bonds with your core fans.
For those looking to push boundaries, shoppable video is an option—enabling viewers to purchase props or apparel featured in the film in real time. Some productions host virtual events, while others offer merchandise for at-home watch parties, transforming your audience into active participants who financially support your work.
Exploring New Technologies and Immersive Revenue
Technology and storytelling are becoming intertwined in novel ways. Filmmakers are deploying AR/VR not just as visual spectacles but as exclusive, paywalled experiences—launching live VR events, delivering special 3D content, or selling digital collectibles native to your film’s universe. Smaller projects, particularly those with younger or digitally engaged audiences, have found strong success here.
There is also an emerging convergence of film and e-commerce: shoppable movies, interactive scenes featuring clickable items, and post-screening digital marketplaces are gaining momentum. The key to profitability is meeting viewers in their preferred settings—whether that’s relaxing at home with a smartphone or immersed in VR gear.
Strategies to Maximize Success
None of these approaches work effectively in isolation—you need to blend multiple strategies to create steady revenue streams. Begin by analyzing your audience data to uncover which types of offers and platforms best suit your film. Be ready to adjust your distribution tactics—AI-powered booking tools or targeting niche online communities can cut costs and attract new fans.
Pro tip: many indie filmmakers have found great value in flexible ticket pricing, subscription memberships, and exclusive event access. Running flash sales, experimenting with bundled packages, or providing unique experiences can drive additional income. The flexibility to pivot quickly, much faster than traditional studios, provides indie creators with real growth opportunities. Keeping abreast of trends, building strong communities, and integrating commerce into the viewing experience are vital to thriving amidst the box office slump.
Finally, identify which formats resonate best with your content and audience. Not every technique will fit every project, but filmmakers willing to be hands-on and creative will find the new film economy rewarding beyond just financial terms—offering enhanced creative freedom as well.
