Bracing for the Next Big Cloud Revolution: Finding Value in "Up Stack" Cloud
The cloud revolution in enterprises has very clearly crossed the phase of
proof-of-concepts into a truly mainstream adoption. One of most popular
enterprise-wide initiatives currently going on are "cloud migration" programs
of some kind or another. Finding business value for these programs is not
hard to fathom - they include hyperelasticity in infrastructure consumption,
subscription based models, and agility derived from rapid speed of deployment
of applications. These factors will continue to drive cloud adoption into the
foreseeable future.
Beneath the surface, there is a far-reaching trend playing out with the
potential to create an impact far greater than cloud migration programs. For
want of better terminology, let's call this the "up stack" cloud revolution.
These are essentially "c... (more)
Beyond Software Development: Applying Agile Approaches to Traditional
Processes
While we understand Agile as a means to accelerate innovation, manage
uncertainty and cope with ambiguity, many are inclined to think that it
conflicts with the objectives of traditional engineering projects, such as
building a highway, skyscraper or power plant. These are plan-driven and
predictive projects that seek to avoid any uncertainty. This type of
thinking, however, is short-sighted.
Agile approaches are valuable in controlling uncertainty because they
constrain the complexity that stems from it. For example, iterative cycles
place a limit on how far planning can go and how much work can be taken on at
one time. What if those same constraints could help control a different kind
of complexity -- the type that undermines classic plan-driven projects?
Followers of Lean production ... (more)
Since releasing the University of San Francisco research paper on “How to
Determine the Economic Value of Your Data” (EvD), I have had numerous
conversations with senior executives about the business and technology
ramifications of EvD. Now with the release of Doug Laney’s “Infonomics”
book that builds upon Doug’s EvD work at Gartner, I expect these
conversations to intensify. In fact, I just traveled to Switzerland to
discuss the potential business and technology ramifications of EvD with the
management team of a leading European Telecommunications company.
From these conversations, I am starting to form some “theorems” to guide
organizations regarding how EvD could impact their business and technology
investments. A theorem is defined as “a general proposition not
self-evident but proved by a chain of reasoning; a truth established by means
of accepted truths.” ... (more)

Security in a Cloud-First World Is Cloudy
Enterprises are moving to the cloud faster than most of us in security
expected. CIOs are going from 0 to 100 in cloud adoption and leaving security
teams in the dust. Once cloud is part of an enterprise stack, it's unclear
who has responsibility for the protection of applications, services, and
data.
When cloud breaches occur, whether active compromise or a publicly accessible
database, the blame must fall on both service providers and users.
