  • ‘We can’t touch the Core’: the sentence that’s slowing Telecom down
    Razvan Cozma - 25 Feb 2026
    In telecom legacy systems, treating the core as untouchable shifts innovation to surrounding layers, where incremental integrations, duplicated logic and reactive extensions compound into architectural sprawl. That sprawl increases IT cost, slows product velocity and introduces operational drag not because of inadequate investment, but because change propagates across fragmented system boundaries. Telecom modernization becomes effective only when leaders deliberately redefine what the core should own, clarify system boundaries and treat integration as a first-class capability. The central decision is whether the current telecom IT architecture makes change progressively safer and more predictable, or progressively heavier and more fragile.
  • How Mature Telcos Can Streamline Without Losing Stability
    Razvan Cozma - 21 Aug 2025
    In an industry where reliability is non-negotiable, large telecom companies often find themselves trapped in a paradox. While they’ve mastered scale and uptime, they struggle to shed the architectural weight of decades-old platforms, duplicated systems, and legacy workflows. As demand grows for more agile, customer-focused services, the pressure to modernize mounts, without triggering alarms in the network operations center.
  • Enterprise DevOps Playbook: Driving Speed and Quality in Corporate Product Teams
    Tudor Iordache - 28 Apr 2025
    Innovation teams within large enterprises face a paradox. Tasked with driving change, they are often slowed by the very systems they aim to improve—rigid processes, siloed functions, and layers of approvals that hinder rapid experimentation. Unlike startups, where agility is built into the culture, corporate product teams must navigate complexity while still delivering at speed. This is where DevOps becomes essential. More than just a set of tools, DevOps is a cultural and operational framework that enables faster, more reliable software delivery. By integrating development and operations, teams gain the autonomy to deploy frequently, respond to feedback quickly, and maintain product stability—all without compromising enterprise-level governance or security.
  • Aligning Product Innovation with Business Objectives
    Razvan Cozma - 24 Mar 2025
    Innovation is essential for growth, but without alignment with business objectives, it can become an expensive and unfocused effort. New ideas, no matter how creative, only drive impact when they serve a clear strategic purpose—whether that’s solving customer problems, creating market differentiation, or unlocking new revenue streams.
  • Maximizing ROI on Product Expansion - A Corporate Strategy Guide
    Tudor Iordache - 17 Mar 2025
    For large enterprises, product expansion isn’t just about growth—it’s about profitable, strategic, and sustainable growth. Whether it’s entering new markets, adding features, or scaling operations, expansion efforts need to be data-driven, well-executed, and aligned with business objectives to generate real ROI. Too often, companies either move too slowly due to corporate bottlenecks or scale too fast without validating market demand. The key to success lies in balancing speed, efficiency, and risk management while ensuring every decision supports long-term business value.
  • Denis Oproescu - 24 Feb 2025
    You just secured the budget to scale your product, and now every decision you make needs to show value. Bringing in external vendors is necessary for speed and expertise, but it comes with risks—misalignment, hidden costs, security concerns, and the possibility that deliverables won’t meet expectations. If things go wrong, you’re the one who has to answer for it. A survey by Deloitte found that 71% of procurement leaders believe that increasing supplier risk is a major challenge facing their organization.
  • Balancing Innovation and Stability in Digital Product Expansion
    Razvan Cozma - 17 Feb 2025
    Innovation drives growth, keeps your product competitive, and helps you adapt to changing market demands. But in a corporate environment, stability is just as crucial—your systems need to stay reliable, secure, and scalable while you introduce new features. The challenge is moving fast without breaking what already works—pushing boundaries while keeping the foundation solid.
