Based in the UK, Pravin Durai is a consultant with Sandhata. Pravin shares the story of his career journey, his experience as an intern and his thoughts on the future.
I have been working in IT for 5 years now, and have been with Sandhata Technologies for the past 1.5 years. My career as a software engineer started with Accenture (in Bangalore, India) in 2016 as a Performance Engineer and then I moved to a Developer role.
So, you have a crack team delivering sterling work, who are highly skilled and hard working. But this team are not as productive as is hoped, and they frequently face production/service issues which take a lot of time to resolve. What gives?
Quite possibly, the team is delivering the wrong stuff (which does not improve the customer experience), or fire fighting issues blind because they don’t have the right information at the right time. Without regular feedback, projects can go off course, the wrong features can be built, and sometimes the wrong issue can be “fixed”!
We are very proud to announce that Sandhata, in partnership with Vodafone UK, have been announced as finalists in the European Software Testing Awards 2021!
Our project, the “TIL Transformation Project – Test automation and Service Virtualisation” is a finalist in category: Best Overall Testing Project – Communication Sector.
We are thrilled to announce that we have been crowned winners at the Digital Tech Leaders Awards 2021!
The Computing Digital Technology Leaders Awards exist to recognise the achievements of the individuals and companies who are really making it happen at the coal face of the digital technology stack: from website design and coding to UX and project management, from scrum masters and product managers, all the way up to the CDO.
Here at Sandhata we spend a large amount of our time doing client consultations, understanding their business and technical challenges and goals across a broad spectrum of business units and technologies.
API management is one such area which is becoming increasingly important to our customers, as they realise the key benefits of a comprehensive API management strategy and implementation.
Many leading enterprises follow a layered architecture within their Integration Architecture landscape. Creating and exposing reusable APIs for clients has traditionally been the core responsibility of integration departments. This is one way of abstracting downstream systems and reducing any impact to clients in case of any downstream changes.
1st September 2021– Sandhata announces new partnership with Splunk Technologies to work together to provide bespoke dashboards and self-service analysis capabilities to its customers. Sandhata is using Splunk’s market leading machine-learning analytics capabilities to turn data into answers, and give businesses the real-time, actionable data they need to make the right decisions.
The Splunk platform has been integrated fully with Sandhata’s DevOps Innovation Platform on the Sandhata cloud environment. The DevOps Innovation Platform environment allows Sandhata to provide customised demos to their clients, giving the clients an idea of what they could achieve in their own systems, with no upfront investment.
Digital Transformation is a revolutionary change in any industry or business which transforms it or creates a new type of industry completely. Digital disruption refers to the impact of new digital technologies and business models on existing goods, services, systems, and structures.
Here at Sandhata we recognise that our employees are our most important assets, and we are proud to always provide consultants of a very high quality. To do this, we invest in our employees to help them grow their technical and personal skills and ensure they are exposed to a range of different client situations to broaden their experience.
At Sandhata, we know how important it is to provide opportunities support for students and college graduates and support them to upskill. We have an active graduate intake programme, and aim to provide our graduate joiners with wide exposure to different industries, different technologies and challenges, to kick-start their careers.
This year we have taken on 4 intern students to work on a new mobile app for our employees. They themselves came up with the mobile app idea based on the existing web app.
The scope of the project was to design, build, and deliver a mobile app for Sandhata employees to record their timesheets. We wanted to overhaul the process for timesheet management and take advantage of new technologies available to create a high quality, simple to use service.
Here at Sandhata the drive to experiment, learn, innovate, and solve problems cuts through everything we do. This is what we spend a large percentage of our time doing as consultants at Sandhata. It is an integral part of the Sandhata culture.
Our DevOps Innovation Platform is just one of the ways we do this. It gives our consultants opportunities to experiment and innovate with the latest technologies, keeping them at the top of their game, and helps to maintain Sandhata’s place at the forefront of the industry.
