Managing a large-scale project, especially one that extends across platforms or mediums, can be challenging. Large-scale projects require multiple team members across departments and organizations to all work in sync. It is, therefore, important to identify and mitigate potential challenges early in the process to keep the project on track and under budget.
No matter how good your software development team is, every software build comes with bugs. Whether it’s an error in the code or an overlooked redirect, each mistake leads to frustrations for both developers and users.
That’s why Quality Assurance (QA) is so important. QA, the process of rigorously testing, fixing, and enhancing your software, gives you the confidence that you’re releasing the best possible product. In today’s competitive market, QA helps you deliver software that exceeds user expectations from the get-go.
Each year, Figma hosts Config, a community-focused space for learning, sharing ideas, and celebrating craftsmanship. The 2024 conference, held on June 26 and 27, 2024, featured over 75 speakers and more than 50 sessions that covered a myriad of design-related topics.
Mike Mulvey, Creative Director with Grio, attended Config 2024 and is here to share his feedback on the best talks at the conference:
In June 2024, Grio launched the GRŌ app: an AI gardening assistant for novice gardeners. The GRŌ app was an excellent way for us to understand the full extent of AI’s capabilities while identifying pitfalls and limitations to avoid on future projects.
Are you interested in starting a home garden but unsure where to begin? Do you feel like your home garden is bringing you more questions than plants? If you’re a novice gardener who just wants some help, then GRŌ, Grio’s AI-powered gardening assistant, is the app for you.
It’s no secret that a custom software solution can come with a hefty price tag. But before you let the fear of the bottom line stop you from turning your innovative idea into the next big software success, let’s look at ways that the right development could help you cut costs while still delivering the perfect product.
In today’s competitive business market, the ability to evolve quickly is paramount for success. When you encounter a new challenge and need to staff up quickly or find a solution that is outside of your team’s typical wheelhouse, hiring a software development company like Grio can be the perfect solution.
Hiring a software agency can save you time, money, and headaches and set your company up for long-term success. But, before you invest in your newest venture, how do you ensure that the team you’re hiring is the best one for the job?
When the economy slumps, businesses often find themselves quickly switching from standard operation to survival mode. Business stagnation during an economic downturn can last from a few days to a few years. However, while it may seem prudent to batten down the hatches and try to weather the storm, too much hesitancy can lead to a decreased return on investment (ROI) and diminished market competitiveness.
So, what do you do when you need to cut costs without sacrificing your efficiency, quality, or long-term business goals? You outsource.
When you think of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, you probably think of your smartphone and smartwatch. Perhaps you think of the home security app on your phone or the sound system that your Alexa can control. What you probably don’t think about is the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system in your office or hotel. And yet, Grio’s client Daikin is bringing commercial HVAC systems to the cloud.
Whether you’re building a complex healthcare portal or a finance app for small businesses, you must understand your users’ needs and desires. No matter how great your app is, it will only be successful if it successfully connects with your target audience.
