For government and public sector organizations, cybersecurity is a big obstacle to digital transformation. The two seem at odds: implementing digital transformation best practices seems impossible while upholding the highest cybersecurity standards.
“Every business is a software business.” Those words were first said by software-quality pioneer Watts Humphrey well over a decade ago. At the time it was a bold statement. Today, it’s table stakes. No matter your industry, you likely use or produce some combination of interactive websites, mobile apps, digitized services, software-enabled products, and even branded software applications across your business operations.
Since digitization has become the standard across all industries, more work is being done online. As a result, technical teams are playing an increasingly prominent role in the success of modern organizations. To keep pace with economic and market conditions, organizations require tighter timelines and streamlined budgets. This often creates more pressure to produce, maintain, and monitor software — which is forcing many technical and operational teams to do more with less.
Today, we are embarking on a significant redesign of Courier's interface consisting of some new things, some old things in new places, and an overall reorganization of the information architecture. This redesign aims to address the challenges that come with the growth of our platform, where increased size and number of features leads to increased complexity, resulting in a product that may not be as intuitive for new users.
No one likes problems, especially at work. However, they’re part of our everyday work routine. If you take a look at job ads online, many of them will list “problem solving techniques” as a necessity for the job role. The truth is that every job in the world requires the art of problem solving. From managing tasks to managing people, we don’t like feeling stuck, at work or outside of it.
We are excited to introduce Guard Rails, now in open beta for Courier, a feature that allows you to set upper limits on the number of messages sent per time period. Courier business plan customers can configure these limits globally, or per user, or per user per subscription topic. Exclusions for certain subscription topics can also be set up, ensuring essential messages are always delivered.
