DreamFactory’s Azure AD connector makes it easy to use an Azure Active Directory tenant for API authentication. By using Azure AD Application Roles it is also possible to assign Users and Groups to DreamFactory roles from the Azure Portal. In this example, we will show how to quickly configure DreamFactory with the proper metadata from Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).

Every time someone uses an app, information travels from a database to the user via an API. Single instances may not seem very important. As long as they perform the required task, people don’t think too much about how applications work. From a business perspective, though, the big data flowing through APIs could unlock important knowledge that helps tap into emerging trends and target customers better. To get the best results, though, companies need the best big data API management.

No code tools and development platforms are becoming increasingly popular. With the no code development platform market expected to rise to $21.2 billion by 2022, these platforms are here to stay. Whether you’re a developer wanting to streamline development and reduce build times, or you’re a manager looking for a faster, easier way for development, a no code software solution could be just what you need.

Traditional security systems rely on a castle and moat style approach wherein the objective is to protect the perimeter and assumes that anyone inside the network is safe and trustworthy.

As organisations adopt increasingly complex digital transformation initiatives, the need for strong organisational leadership from the CIO (Chief Information Officer) has never been more apparent. In particular, the CIO plays a key role in setting the digital transformation agenda for the organisation, sponsoring the delivery of component initiatives and ensuring senior stakeholder buy-in throughout the journey.

As organizations embrace digital transformation, the IT industry has had to change along with it. Expectations are high for the potential effects of implementing new and emerging technologies and organizations are competing to keep pace. With this desire for rapid change, IT managers have been faced with mounting pressure to adopt tools, process and models of digital business as part of enterprise digital transformation initiatives.

From tiny startups to massive Fortune 500 firms, businesses of all sizes and industries are making heavier investments in digital transformation initiatives. Yet despite this increased awareness and effort, too many large enterprises are still struggling to adapt to a rapidly changing business landscape.

Businesses are increasingly demanding new software solutions that are quick, efficient, and user friendly. Low code is a way to automate several steps of the application process while still providing rapid delivery. In simplest terms, low code is a way of building processes and applications with very little coding. There are several aspects of this type of software development you need to understand when fully answering the question, what is low code?

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are the lifeblood of the economy: according to Deloitte, companies with fewer than 500 employees represent 99.7 percent of all businesses in the U.S., and employ 48 percent of the private workforce. Yet despite their sheer numbers, SMBs don’t have access to the power, budget, and resources that larger organizations can wield, particularly when it comes to digital transformation.

APIs (application programming interfaces) are an essential, yet often overlooked, component of the modern organization’s IT environment. According to a 2020 study, 83 percent of IT professionals and executives say that API integration is “critical” to their business strategy. These days, a single organization may rely on dozens or hundreds of third-party APIs, each of which may have a significant downstream effect on a company’s productivity and profitability.
