Pluralsight helps keep Frontier Software on the tech frontier | Frontier Software
Summary
Around 170 developers work for Frontier Software (which handles payroll for 10% of Australias workforce), and keeping them up to date with the frameworks and technologies used by the company had been a challenge. Knowledge of the business is important, so it is better to reskill than hire, he said, especially as an existing employees valuable time is needed to bring a recruit up to speed. Selecting and allocating specific training courses to the developers meant they gained a shared understanding, which resulted in a much broader and easier adoption of Git. Examples include applying robotic automation to integration issues, using blockchain to ensure payroll ledgers are immutable, and providing users with AI-driven insights into their data. This does mean there are occasions when employees develop a passion for a technology that isnt relevant to Frontier and so move on to another company, but Hnatiw evidently feels this is a small price to pay for the increased skills and engagement of the majority who remain.
