Implementing security procedures for any organization involves more than just tools, it starts with understanding what needs to be protected, why it matters, and how best to reduce risk. One of the most effective ways to build those controls is through data governance. In this blog post, we’ll walk through what data governance is, why it matters, and how to get started using Microsoft Purview within the Azure ecosystem.
If your team is about to inherit a legacy codebase, rebuild a product, or add major new features, it’s important to pause and ask: What shape is the code really in? That’s where a code audit makes all the difference. It helps uncover what’s really been built, reveal hidden risks, and guide smarter decisions about where to invest next. At Emergent Software, we’ve conducted code audits for all kinds of clients, from startups with fast-moving MVPs to enterprise organizations managing complex, multi-layered systems. The goal is always the same: to bring clarity, reduce surprises, and help development teams move forward with confidence.
Some of the biggest slowdowns in a company’s day-to-day work aren’t caused by broken systems. They’re caused by everyday communication friction: missed calls, unclear handoffs, scattered tools, and failing to connect with the right people in the right way at the right time. This friction often stems from relying on outdated phone systems and disconnected apps. For many organizations, cloud-based unified communications platforms offer a way to bring everything together more seamlessly.
The Azure OpenAI Service represents a significant milestone in making advanced artificial intelligence capabilities accessible to enterprise organizations.

Whether you're in finance, retail, manufacturing, or tech, every organization relies on an ever-growing pool of data. Emails, calendars, documents, org charts, device info, meeting notes: it’s all there, scattered across different tools. The real challenge? Making that data useful.
This blog covers why enterprises outgrow their existing tools, how to recognize when it’s time for a custom solution, what to look for in the right partner, and what a successful process should include. We’ll also explore practical tips on integration, long-term support, and the broader opportunities custom software can create.
Modern infrastructure demands speed, scalability, and consistency. Yet many organizations still rely on manual processes that are slow, error-prone, and difficult to reproduce. This is where Infrastructure as Code (IaC) becomes essential, and why Terraform stands out as the leading solution for cloud automation across platforms.
At Emergent Software, we believe in empowering businesses with tools that drive efficiency and help them scale with confidence. One of the most impactful technologies we recommend to our clients is Microsoft Power Platform.
There’s no shortage of data. And for tech departments, it’s at the core of nearly everything they do. With immense amounts of data at our disposal, the key question is: how do we manage it effectively? We turn to analytics. In this blog post, we’ll explore what data analytics is, how it supports enterprise decision-making, and how Microsoft Fabric enables organizations to manage and use their data in a SaaS-based, fully integrated way.
AI-assisted development is reshaping how software engineers approach their work. At Emergent Software, we’re always looking for tools that enhance productivity without compromising quality, and GitHub Copilot is a valued tool in our toolbox.
