Six Ways CIOs Can Drive Digital Transformation and Lead Their Companies
Toward Revenue
By Megan Van Vlack
Growing a digital business is essential for virtually every enterprise across
every industry. Large enterprises and small businesses alike are digitizing
their internal and customer-facing processes and services to increase
efficiency, scale their businesses, and collect meaningful data. Yet, while
many companies have launched digital services to collect data, we haven’t
fully tapped into the potential of data analytics—even though studies
suggest that digital will be a top differentiator in years to come. Curious
how you can get a better handle on digital transformation? Read on to learn
why it’s so crucial, plus discover six key ways to digitize your business.

How Customers Are Operationalizing Their DevOps Tool Chain from
Planning-to-Ops
Without lifecycle traceability and visibility across the tool chain,
stakeholders from Planning-to-Ops have limited insight and answers to who,
what, when, why and how across the DevOps lifecycle. This impacts the ability
to deliver high quality software at the needed velocity to drive positive
business outcomes.

In his session at @DevOpsSummit 19th Cloud Expo, Eric Robertson, General
Manager at CollabNet, showed how customers are able to achieve a level of
transparency that enables everyone from Planning-to-Ops to make informed
decisions based on business priority and leverage automation to accelerate
identifying issues and fast fix to drive continuous feedback and KPI insight.

How Continuous Integration Works, and the Big Benefit No One Talks About
By Sarah Albeb
In a digital world that moves as fast as ours, programmers are applying new,
creative ways of thinking to the software development process in a non-stop
push for ever-faster turnaround times. In DevOps, Continuous Integration (CI)
is increasingly the integration method of choice, in large part because of
the speed at which it enables the release of new features, bug fixes, and
product updates.
CI dictates that every time a developer pushes code to an application, an
automated process grabs the current code from a shared repository, integrates
the new build, and tests the software for problems. This approach leads to
faster results and ensures software is tested on a regular basis, which
enables further DevOps automation processes such as delivery, deployment, and
experimentation.... (more)

Collaborating in the Cloud: What You Need to Know to Keep Your Data Safe
As cloud adoption continues to transform business, today's global enterprises
are challenged with managing a growing amount of information living outside
of the data center. The rapid adoption of IoT and increasingly mobile
workforce are exacerbating the problem. Ensuring secure data sharing and
efficient backup poses capacity and bandwidth considerations as well as
policy and regulatory compliance issues.
In his session at 19th Cloud Expo, Kurt Kuckein, Director of Product
Management at DDN, explored how to address the massive scalability
requirements of Big Data and the need to provide secure cloud collaboration,

Using Infrastructure as an Accelerator of DevOps Maturity
Most DevOps journeys involve several phases of maturity. Research shows that
the inflection point where organizations begin to see maximum value is when
they implement tight integration deploying their code to their
infrastructure. Success at this level is the last barrier to at-will
deployment. Storage, for instance, is more capable than where we read and
write data.
In his session at @DevOpsSummit at 20th Cloud Expo, Josh Atwell, a Developer
Advocate for NetApp, will discuss the role and value extensible storage
infrastructure has in accelerating software development activities, improve
code quality, reveal multiple deployment options through automated testing,
and support continuous integration efforts. All this will be described using
tools common in DevOps organizations.

In his keynote at @ThingsExpo, Chris Matthieu, Director of IoT Engineering at Citrix and co-founder and CTO of Octoblu, focused on building an IoT platform and company. He provided a behind-the-scenes look at Octoblu’s platform, business, and pivots along the way (including the Citrix acquisition of Octoblu).
The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to change everything by enabling “smart” environments (homes, cities, hospitals, schools, stores, etc.) and smart products (cars, trucks, airplanes, trains, wind turbines, lawnmowers, etc.). I recently wrote about the importance of moving beyond “connected” to “smart” in a blog titled “Internet of Things: Connected Does Not Equal Smart”. The article discusses the importance of moving beyond just collecting the data, to transitioning to leveraging this new wealth of IoT data to improve the decisions that these smart environments and products need to make: t...
In his opening keynote at 20th Cloud Expo, Michael Maximilien, Research Scientist, Architect, and Engineer at IBM, will motivate why realizing the full potential of the cloud and social data requires artificial intelligence. By mixing Cloud Foundry and the rich set of Watson services, IBM's Bluemix is the best cloud operating system for enterprises today, providing rapid development and deployment of applications that can take advantage of the rich catalog of Watson services to help drive insights from the vast trove of private and public data available to enterprises. 
In order to meet the rapidly changing demands of today’s customers, companies are continually forced to redefine their business strategies in order to meet these needs, stay relevant and continue to see profitable growth. IoT deployment and development is integral in this transformation, and today businesses are increasingly seeing the value of investing their resources into IoT deployments. These technologies are able increase ROI through projects such as connecting supply chains or enabling smart office capabilities for employees. 
DevOps is often described as a combination of technology and culture. Without both, DevOps isn't complete. However, applying the culture to outdated technology is a recipe for disaster; as response times grow and connections between teams are delayed by technology, the culture will die. A Nutanix Enterprise Cloud has many benefits that provide the needed base for a true DevOps paradigm.

Industry after industry is under siege as companies embrace digital transformation (DX) to disrupt existing business models and disintermediate their competitor’s customer relationships. But what do we mean by “Digital Transformation”? The coupling of granular, real-time data (e.g., smartphones, connected devices, smart appliances, wearables, mobile commerce, video surveillance) with modern technologies (e.g., cloud native apps, big data architectures, hyper-converged technologies, artificial intelligence, blockchain) to enhance products, processes, and business-decision making with customer, ...

Multiple data types are pouring into IoT deployments. Data is coming in small packages as well as enormous files and data streams of many sizes. Widespread use of mobile devices adds to the total. In this power panel at @ThingsExpo, moderated by Conference Chair Roger Strukhoff, panelists will look at the tools and environments that are being put to use in IoT deployments, as well as the team skills a modern enterprise IT shop needs to keep things running, get a handle on all this data, and deliver the analytics that add value.
Machine learning, AI, cognitive computing, natural language understanding, image recognition, pattern matching, autonomous devices – these are just a few of 2017’s loosely defined catchall phrases. But in practice, they each refer to a significant field of study that is guaranteed to have an impact on the way people live and how business is done. So here are five things that you, as the leader of an organization that is singularly focused on creating shareholder value (however you define it), need to know
For a recent University of San Francisco MBA class, I wanted to put my students in a challenging situation where they would be forced to make difficult data science trade-offs between gathering data, preparing the data and performing the actual analysis.
The purpose of the exercise was to test their ability to “think like a data scientist” with respect to identifying and quantifying variables that might be better predictors of performance.
