International Recognition at APICTA Awards 2011

By -
Last month, we broke the news that Joget Workflow has bagged 2 awards at MSC Malaysia APICTA, and that has brought us a passport to compete at the international stage - the 11th International APICTA (Asia Pacific ICT Alliance) Awards, held in Pattaya on 11.11.11.

Julian (the technology master brain of Joget) and I were in Pattaya early this month, together with nominees from other Asia Pacific economies, to compete for the "Best of Tools and Infrastructure Application" category. Of all the participating economies, I'm personally very impressed with the team from Pakistan -- a lot of efforts they have put in at the international stage. Kudos to their dedicated mentors, who were there in Pattaya together with the nominees, to really contribute their mentorship (not just merely for the fun of travelling).

The first 5 minutes of my pitch for the "Best of Tools and Infrastructure Application" session didn't went on smoothly - the projector decided not to collaborate with me, by flickering its eye every 10 seconds or so. But, the stopwatch was running, and I had only 20 minutes to convince the panel of judges. Luckily, Julian was there to "negotiate" with the VGA cable.

I was told that the "Best of Tools and Infrastructure Application" category is always a tough fight at APICTA Awards, as the nominees are usually the reputable infra software companies with more than 10 years of strong history and presence in the enterprise architecture market. But, we took this to our advantage instead, by telling the judges that, Open Dynamics is a 2-year young open source product company, with 1,000 adopter sites and 22 partners spanning across the globe.

Loi Krathong Festival at Pattaya Beach

The 11th APICTA Awards 2011, held on 11.11.11; and coincidently, it was also the day that Thais celebrate the Loi Krathong Festival! An auspicious day indeed. The "starry" sky that you see in this photo, were the Sky Lanterns.

There's a secret that no one knows about it yet, before this post is published. I actually pre-composed this tweet in my phone, and pressed the "Send" button immediately when Joget Workflow was announced as one of the winners :p Jack was in Taipei during that time, and anxiously waiting for my update on the awards ceremony night.



Luckily I didn't need to trash this tweet message from Draft haha.

Joget Workflow is the Merit winner of "Best of Tools & Infrastructure Application"

Thanks to all Joget Workflow community members, adopters and implementation partners. Without your trust on us, we will not be recognized at the international stage today.

Introduction to Security Benefits and Risks in Low-Code Platforms As digitalization becomes increasingly prevalent, low-code platforms are rapidly gaining adoption across industries. Employing visual techniques to programming, they enable the development and delivery of applications in a fraction of the time required by traditional coding. According to Forrester’s Now Tech: General-Purpose Low-Code Development Platforms, Q1 2021 , low-code platforms are “vital to digital business” and “proven in even the most mission-critical use cases”. However, the proliferation of apps and digital solutions bring with it increased cybersecurity risks like phishing attempts and ransomware attacks. As the SolarWinds hack in 2020 and Microsoft Exchange hack in 2021 demonstrated, the cost of security lapses can be monumental. Security considerations are therefore paramount, so how would they apply to low-code platforms? Source:  Don’t Ignore Security In Low-Code Development, Forrester Research Inc...

Superapps in the Enterprise: Up, Up and Away!

 “We think these applications are so compelling that we don’t just call them apps, we call them super apps… Super apps are applications that once you start using them, you’ll wonder just how you lived without them” - BlackBerry founder Mike Lazaridis. What is a Superapp?  In the early days of the smartphone revolution, BlackBerry founder Mike Lazaridis first coined the term “super app” (or “superapp”) in a MWC 2010 keynote speech . He defined them as “a closed ecosystem of many apps that people would use every day because they offer such a seamless, integrated, contextualized and efficient experience.” According to Gartner®, “a superapp is like a Swiss army knife with a range of component tools (miniapps) that the user can use and remove as needed”.  We consider superapps to be a single platform where miniapps are integrated, thus providing a seamless experience to its users. Here are some statistics and predictions from 2022 Gartner Top Strategic Technology Trends for 2...
