Storm Reply, Main Sponsor di CTO Connect 2025: innovazione, strategia e confronto sul futuro della tecnologia. Il 4 marzo 2025, Storm Reply ha partecipato come Main Sponsor al Codemotion CTO Connect di Roma, un evento di riferimento per la community dei CTO e dei professionisti dell’innovazione. Un’occasione unica per confrontarsi sulle sfide e le opportunità legate all’evoluzione tecnologica, esplorando nuove prospettive su trend emergenti e strategie aziendali. A rappresentare Storm Reply sono stati Alessandro De Carolis, intervenuto nel tavolo tematico Cloud, approfondendo le strategie di scalabilità e gestione delle infrastrutture IT, e Leonardo Di Marzio, che ha partecipato al panel su AI, Innovazione e Regolamentazione, discutendo il delicato equilibrio tra progresso tecnologico e normative. Durante l’evento, l’agenda ha offerto approfondimenti su temi chiave del settore: ➖ AI e produttività: il ruolo dell’intelligenza artificiale nello sviluppo software; ➖ Geopolitica e sovranità del dato: strategie e implicazioni per le aziende; ➖ AI: innovazione o regolamentazione? Un dibattito tra esperti su rischi e opportunità; ➖ Cloud e scalabilità: nuove frontiere nella gestione delle infrastrutture IT; ➖ GreenTech e sostenibilità: come l’innovazione può supportare una crescita responsabile; ➖ Sicurezza e resilienza: proteggere dati e infrastrutture nell’era digitale. Siamo fieri di supportare eventi che alimentano il dibattito sull’innovazione tecnologica e sul futuro del ruolo del CTO. Un sentito ringraziamento a Codemotion e a tutti i professionisti che hanno condiviso la loro esperienza e visione, tra cui Leandro Gelasi, Giovanni Ponti, Roberto Saracino, Mara Marzocchi, Luca Fregoso, Dario Carmignani e molti altri. #StormReply #CTOConnect #Cloud #TechInnovation #AI #CyberSecurity #CTOCommunity #DigitalTransformation

The other day, we were at the AWS GenAI Loft in Berlin, where among other things I shared this picture and how I sometimes feel that clients are jumping on the GenAI trend with dedicated projects, when in reality there is a certain Pareto Principle to be applied. At Storm Reply, we make very sure clients understand that 80% of their big GenAI effort in the end probably will really be Software Engineering and "only" 20% effort will be in GenAI. Yes, GenAI also is turning Software Engineering itself on its head, but we'll leave that aspect to another post. Right now I just want to share that we are working with clients to make them understand that a GenAI project is never 100% GenAI. So, let's assume that 20% of the project work is spent on GenAI itself. And - if we drill deeper into those 20% - we find another Pareto, where 80% of that time is Orchestration and Prompt Engineering and another 20% is tool choice. Does that feel about right? An important part of our job at Storm Reply is to guide clients through today's GenAI jungle, but also to manage expectations. My point is: 20% of 20% is just 4% time spent on tool choice. And I think it should be more. More though needs to go into that part of the project. There is some disconnect between assuming 100% of the project time is GenAI and at the same time only investing minimal time in tool choices. It is not sufficient to throw the "best" LLM under the sun at every GenAI challenge I see. And it is also not OK to assume the next best RAG Black Box will be my perfect Knowledge Chatbot companion. Every aspect needs and deservers more thought. There are Concious Decisions to be made when ramping up GenAI adoption in an organization. We help with that!

Today, on International Women’s Day, I’m proud to reflect on the progress we’ve made over the past year: we’ve significantly increased the percentage of women in our team! 💡 But numbers alone aren’t enough—we want to make a lasting impact. That’s why we’re actively supporting STEM education and inspiring young talent. This year, we’re once again hosting our Girls’ Day, where we’ll introduce students to the world of AI and cloud computing — this time with AWS PartyRock! 🚀 A more diverse tech industry starts with creating opportunities. Let’s continue shaping a future where everyone can thrive in tech. Who else is running initiatives to encourage more women in STEM?

🏆 Top Company 2025 – Again! 🚀 Since 2022, we've been recognized as a Top Company on kununu every year. Today, we’re proud to hold a 4.7 rating—significantly above the industry average of 3.9 in consulting. With an 83% recommendation rate, it’s clear: we’re doing a lot of things right. And it’s not just Kununu. Our annual Reply employee survey tells a strong story. But there’s always room to improve. For me, leadership means creating an environment where people can thrive: 🔹 Helping as many employees as possible spend most of their time… 1️⃣ Doing what they are great at. 2️⃣ Doing what they love. 3️⃣ Creating real impact for our customers. It’s a philosophy inspired by Ikigai: "Do what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and (ideally) what you can be paid for." I’m lucky — my role as Managing Director at Storm Reply aligns with this. But we know great workplaces don’t happen by accident. We’ll keep asking our employees: Where can we improve? (And let’s be honest—it’s not just about bonuses.) But for now—it’s time to celebrate! 🎉 This award shows we’re on the right track. 👉 What’s one thing that makes a workplace truly great for you? #TopCompany #Leadership #LifeLongLearning #Consulting #Career #StormReply #GreatPlaceToWork

Lunedì scorso, presso la sede Officine Edison Milano, abbiamo partecipato con piacere al workshop interamente dedicato alla Generative AI insieme al team Amazon Web Services (AWS)   È stata l'occasione per condividere ed approfondire le potenzialità della Generative AI, in grado non solo di aumentare efficienza e produttività, ma anche di trasformare il mondo di Energy e Utilities con diversi use case. Abbiamo trattato temi come i pattern di utilizzo RAG e Agenti, quando ricorrere al fine-tuning o alla distillation, e come scalare gli use case di Generative AI in produzione. Infine ci siamo confrontati sulle prospettive e sul percorso che Edison ha intrapreso per adottare questa tecnologia.   Grazie a Cosimo Basile e Matteo Bonanomi per l'organizzazione, i team Digital e ICT di Edison per l'attiva partecipazione e Dario Luigi Vercesi e Lorenzo Montelatici per lo stimolante confronto finale. #GenerativeAI #ArtificialIntelligence #DigitalTransformation #EnergyInnovation #AWS
