The Hidden Cost of “Just Integrate It” Projects
Every CTO has heard it: “It’s a simple integration.”That phrase should come with a health warning. Because nothing in enterprise IT dies faster than a project that assumes systems will “just talk to each other.” ERPs, CRMs, and logistics platforms don’t magically cooperate. They tolerate each other at best. And when they don’t? You get...
Your ERP Isn’t Broken. It’s Just Misunderstood
ERP systems have a reputation problem. Ask around and you’ll hear words like “painful,” “slow,” and “black hole of budget.” But most ERP failures don’t come from harmful software; they come from mismatched expectations. We’ve seen companies blame the platform when the real issue was process chaos. They tried to automate what wasn’t even standardised....
MVPs That Don’t Die After Demo Day
You’ve seen it happen. A shiny new prototype gets applause in the boardroom, a few LinkedIn posts, and then… radio silence. The so-called MVP never graduates to version one. Most MVPs fail not because the idea is bad, but because they’re built for presentation, not progression. Startups, corporates, and innovation labs alike fall into this...
The Myth of “Safe” IT Partners and Why Big Doesn’t Mean Better
“Go with the big guys,” said every cautious executive ever, right before their digital transformation went off the rails. We get it. Choosing a recognisable vendor feels like a risk-free move. You imagine enterprise-grade processes, impeccable project management, and a herd of experts ready to deliver. Reality check: the bigger the name, the messier the...
Why 90% of Integrations Fail (and How Yours Can Succeed)
The real reason integrations fail Integrations die in the gaps between teams, between expectations, between how people think they work and how they actually do. The first meeting is often full of optimism. Everyone nods as the diagrams appear on the screen. Boxes and arrows flow neatly from left to right. Someone says, “That looks...
HighTech Kaunas Cluster Strengthens Ties with Japan’s Tech Industry
A representative of the HighTech Kaunas Cluster took part in a business mission to Japan, organised by the Kaunas Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Crafts (Kaunas CCIC) together with the Embassy of Lithuania in Japan and the Fukuyama Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The mission aimed to build stronger business and technology connections between Lithuania...
Why Integrations Fail: When APIs Become the Achilles Heel of Strategy
Integrations are the nervous system of the IT world. Yet even the best APIs can become weak links if they’re not approached strategically. Most integration failures stem not from technology, but from poorly aligned business logic. “One-size-fits-all” integrations no longer work – modularity and contextual understanding are key. A good integration partner understands not only...
Smaller = Smarter (When You Pick Right)
Big IT vendors are like cruise ships: impressive, expensive, and painfully slow to turn. When the weather changes or your supply chain catches fire, you’ll be lucky if the captain even notices before you’ve hit the iceberg. That’s the hidden tax of “scale.” It looks safe on the brochure. There are glossy logos, endless certifications,...
Rescuing Legacy Systems Without a Rewrite
Somewhere out there, a CIO is signing off on a €2 million complete system rewrite for a problem that could’ve been fixed with a €200K patch and six weeks of work. That’s not a hypothetical. It’s a weekly occurrence in enterprise IT. The only thing more predictable than an over-engineered “digital transformation” is the post-mortem...
Security as Part of Product Value, Not an Add-On
In many IT projects, security is still treated as an afterthought, something to fix post-launch. In reality, it’s a core element of product quality from day one. The “secure by design” principle should be embedded in architecture, not patched in later. The weakest link isn’t the server – it’s the human. Building a security-first culture...
