Jade Global's Blog

In the early 1990s, a senior executive with a large West Coast retail bank described her organization’s customer service as “the cream of the crap.” In her opinion, it really wasn’t very good, but it was better than their competitors. When the bank did customer surveys, a common gripe was its account opening process. It seemed customers were constantly having to redo paperwork (remember, this was the early ‘90s) because of mistakes by the bank. And this was commonplace across all financial institutions in the market. In response, the bank launched an internal campaign — DIRFT, “do it right the first time.” And it worked. At least well enough for the bank to become the “cream” and rise above its competition. But this was retail banking — B2C. Retail, regardless of industry, has always been more conscious of customer service and its importance to a long-term relationship than B2B firms. Now B2C companies that don’t create an engaging, near-frictionless customer journey at every t

Solving the frontend framework dilemma, 2021 Over the last decade, we saw drastic changes in how we go about building web interfaces. Along with HTML CSS, JavaScript has emerged as a language allowing us to create a lightweight, fast, and interactive web application. This has led developers and architects to shift more and more of their business logic to the frontend. The transformation was well guided by frontend libraries and frameworks that have evolved over the years. One of the earliest libraries was jQuery, which helped developers easily manipulate the DOM without worrying about browser compatibility. However, jQuery lacked the capability of handling data consistently over the different views. To tackle this, we saw several frontend libraries coming to the market around 2010-11—backbone JS, Knockout JS, and Ember JS, to name a few. However, the most popular of them all was launched by google as Angular JS. This MVC framework offered easier two-way data binding and in-
