One of ECE’s community members, Richard Jorna, founder of Affectum, got in contact with the tech experts from MyCiC during his time in the Get Started programme. With the launch of his new app TeamTemp, Richard had to make some fundamental technology decisions. Richard took the initiative to take the advice and experience he got from working together with MyCiC and share it with the ECE Community during our open workshop space at the monthly Day@theCampus. 

On December 2nd, MyCiC engaged start-ups and SME companies in their need for dedicated and knowledgeable advice when making technology decisions. Together we explored three of the most important needs that every IT based company will sooner or later have to deal with:

1. Measure, measure, measure: know your IT functions. Will your IT systems stay up to par with your growth? How do you know? Do not only measure the user behavior on your system with analytics. Do not forget to also test your own system on its performance: How are your servers responding; What is the loading time of your pages?
2. Security and data protection: you lock the doors at night because you want to know that you are safe. How does this relate to your company? Do know which ‘doors’ are vulnerable? How do you test this? A simple list of the 10 most vulnerable backdoors in your system can already give you a very clear overview how to make some quick wins.  
3. Have a person in your team that will  and can make the hard technology decisions based on the company’s strategy. Your development team is not your CTO. The difference is: a developer will think in line of what you ask him / her to make. The CTO will tell you where your company is going when using certain techniques or standards.

Are you a start-up or SME company? And do you need assistance with any of the above mentioned points? The guys from MyCiC are offering their first intake conversation free of charge.
