Best Oracle ODBC Drivers in 2026 for Windows and Enterprise Use

Apr 8, 2026 By Rosemary Asufi In Devart
Even when APIs, cloud connectors, and native integrations dominate the conversation in 2026, Oracle ODBC drivers remain the bedrock of enterprise data flow.

Apr 8, 2026 By Rosemary Asufi In Devart
Choosing your Salesforce ADO.NET provider is more than ticking boxes; it’s the foundation of how your.NET apps interact with Salesforce data. That’s why this decision requires careful consideration of critical features, like ORM support, Entity Framework compatibility, query flexibility, and security.

Apr 8, 2026 By Rosemary Asufi In Devart

Self-service infrastructure replaces ticket queues with controlled, automated workflows so developers can get what they need safely and on demand. Policy-as-code, standardized templates, and an Internal Developer Portal (IDP) provide guardrails that maintain security, compliance, and cost control.

Apr 8, 2026 By Bri Strozewski In Harness
Your developers are buried under tickets for environments, pipelines, and infra tweaks, while a small platform team tries to keep up. That is not developer self-service. That is managed frustration. If 200 developers depend on five platform engineers for every change, you do not have a platform; you have a bottleneck. Velocity drops, burnout rises, and shadow tooling appears. Developer self-service fixes this, but only when it is treated as a product, not a portal skin.

In this episode of Agents of IT, host Ari Stowe sits down with producer Ian Coppock for a fast-paced, no-filter discussion on one of the hottest topics in enterprise tech: AI, security, and the reality of modern work.

They challenge the idea that AI alone will fix broken workflows and explore why intentional design, guardrails, and orchestration matter more than ever.
