People who know me well will be quick to agree I fall victim to being a creature of habit in many ways. When I find things I enjoy, I tend to stay with those things. For example, not only do I generally eat at the same small set of restaurants, I tend to order the same food at a restaurant each time I visit. I appreciate the advice from friends regarding mixing things up for some variety, but I fall victim to the comfort of taking away one more decision to make after a day full of decisions, and I enjoy knowing I will like what I am ordering. One restaurant I frequently visit, however, brings out a different approach. They have a couple ‘daily specials’, and they really promote those offerings as something which will bring people in; not things from the menu which are on special, but completely unique offerings which are only available on that day. They rarely repeat, and they are not even always available after the peak dinner hours because of their popularity. 
Sometimes the special items feature ingredients from local suppliers as their unique thread. Sometimes the special items are themed around the time of year or a different ethnicity than the normal fare of the restaurant. This ‘one day only’ trait makes the restaurant different for me; I always order from the ‘specials’ menu, and I’ve always enjoyed it. The restaurant uses the specials menu to be even better at who they are – a locally owned restaurant offering friendly service in a relaxed atmosphere with some unique menu choices that change every day.
Knowing what is unique about your business and finding ways to exhibit the difference are important traits in a digital economy where consumers and employees have more choices than at any other time in history. At Keller Schroeder, we feel strongly regarding the uniqueness of being an employee-owned business and our culture of ownership. Our focus on employee-ownership makes us better at our mission of being a technology company in the performance improvement business and aligns perfectly with our purpose of making positive, personal impacts on our employees, our clients, and our communities. All of our core staff employees are owners in the business, and because of our focus on sharing accountability, knowledge, and growth among those owners, we are different from most businesses. Every employee has direct benefit from the growth of our company, so we value long-term relationships differently, our employees are empowered differently, and we share knowledge differently. Application development, infrastructure solutions, staffing solutions, and data strategy are not inherently unique offerings where our clients have no option but to work with us. The responsibility lies on us to be a business partner our clients choose to work with, where they value our positive impacts more than what other providers can offer. Our ‘special’ is offering the ability for our clients to engage in those areas with knowledgeable employee-owners who work differently because of their ownership. If you are a current client, we continue to thank you for your partnership; if you are not a client and you would like to discern if working with an employee-owned company is really a ‘special’ experience, we would love to hear from you to discuss how we might be able to make a positive, personal impact on you and your business.

Let’s start with a short introduction and description. Google first created Angular in 2010, followed by Facebook with React in 2013, showing both have the backing of major industry players. Both are popular web platforms written in JavaScript, which primarily run in your browser. Much of the code that traditionally ran on a server has migrated to your browser, and Angular and React have helped to push this trend forward. A common goal shared by both is to decouple an application’s logic from its user interface (UI), and both strongly focus on dynamic page updates (aka AJAX) – meaning your entire browser window does not reload when updates are made, only the content that changes needs to reload. This generally leads to a much nicer experience for the user.
Angular is typically classified as a full framework while React is considered a library. This means that Angular includes everything plus the kitchen sink, but React only concerns itself with the user interface. React is more lightweight than Angular, but includes less functionality out of the box.
Since Angular is a full framework, it naturally has a longer, steeper learning curve. Angular also requires the use of TypeScript (a statically typed version of JavaScript), which is an additional skill that must be learned. On the upside, Angular includes a tool for almost every scenario, so there’s usually a standardized, well-defined path forward.
Trust is an interesting thing. We often think of it as something we must earn, when in fact it is something one must choose to give in advance. That’s why we don’t take trust for granted. It is the hardest thing for you to let go of. It is said that people do business with those they know, like, and trust. We can help you know us by making you more aware of who we are and what we do. We can help you like us by being likable. And, of course, we can influence your trust proving ourselves trustworthy. But it isn’t enough just to share how others trusted us and how we delivered for them, or even to tell you of the times we messed up and how we made it right. In fact, our trustworthiness is not something we can prove to you personally at all until first you give us your trust. Once you give it, the onus is on us to prove you right.

Our answer is Microsoft Power BI, an affordable business analytics solution that visualizes data and allows you to share insights across the organization. It can connect to many data sources and bring data to life with interactive, live dashboards and reports. Power BI can integrate with Azure Machine Learning Services, which are a subset of AI, to analyze data and make future predictions about the business. Power BI is available as a SaaS option running in the Azure cloud or as an on-premises option as Power BI Report Server.

As simple as that concept is for people to understand, somehow it frequently gets lost in the world of technology. People become infatuated with the newest “square peg” technology and become fixated on pounding it into a “round hole” issue just to have the privilege of using the latest and greatest. As a technology company in the performance improvement business, Keller Schroeder firmly believes the role of Information Technology is to make businesses perform better. Information Technology companies and departments should serve the business functions, not vice versa. IT professionals should have a box full of different shaped pegs, and when they collaborate with business units, should be able to identify solutions that specifically address business needs and improve overall performance.
