Agile Manufacturing: How and Why Cloud Based Principles Make Sense for
Industrial Companies
Large industrial manufacturing organizations are adopting the agile
principles of cloud software companies.
The industrial manufacturing development process has not scaled over time.
Now that design CAD teams are geographically distributed, centralizing their
work is key. With large multi-gigabyte projects, outdated tools have stifled
industrial team agility, time-to-market milestones, and impacted P&L;
stakeholders.

In his session at 21st Cloud Expo, Jacek Materna, CTO of Assembla, discussed
how industrial manufacturing design companies want to adopt agile and keep up
with the cloud - but first, a few pillars of enterprise requirements must
be met:

"IBM is really all in on blockchain. We take a look at sort of the history of
blockchain ledger technologies. It started out with bitcoin, Ethereum, and
IBM evaluated these particular blockchain technologies and found they were
anonymous and permissionless and that many companies were looking for
permissioned blockchain," stated René Bostic, Technical VP of the IBM Cloud

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"?
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, product and
operational insights.
In order to achieve digital transformation, organizations need to coordinate
and align the following business and technology capabilities:
Build out the organization's data and analytics capabilities and assets

Taking a Data First Approach to Real Time Applications
To get the most out of their data, successful companies are not focusing on
queries and data lakes, they are actively integrating analytics into their
operations with a data-first application development approach. Real-time
adjustments to improve revenues, reduce costs, or mitigate risk rely on
applications that minimize latency on a variety of data sources.

In his session at @BigDataExpo, Jack Norris, Senior Vice President, Data and
Applications at MapR Technologies, reviewed best practices to show how
companies develop, deploy, and dynamically update these applications and how

“We should study Science Fiction in order to understand what someday could
become Science Fact.”
– Dr. Who? Doc Brown? Kodos and Kang?
This is the time of year when everyone makes his or her predictions for
2018. I have my predictions as well, but wanted to do something a bit more
fun. So I thought I’d look backwards to the state of technology 50 years
ago to gain some insights that we can use to make projections about 2018.
That is, what “predictions” made in the 1950’s might tell us about
2018.
However, it’s really hard to find predictions about the future made in the
1950’s. There was no Internet or Social Media or Reality TV, so I found
the next best proxy…sci-fi movies! I decided to review the most popular
sci-fi movies from 1950’s, and provide my perspective as to what these
movies might tell us about 2018. Maybe drink a Tab or Fresca as you read

Our cities have been connected since the dawn of urbanization in the Indus Valley and on the plains of Mesopotamia nearly ten millennia ago. Cities exist to gather and connect people, bringing us together into communities and joint ventures that need complex networks of communication. But in recent years the connected city has come to mean something more. Today and in the future, the connected city will not just be about people connecting with people, but people with machines, people with people via machines, and perhaps most importantly, machines with machines.
The time of year when crystal balls get a viewing and many pundits put out their annual predictions for the coming year. Copying off since 2012, rather than thinking up my own, I figured I’d regurgitate what many others expect to happen.
Top 10 Cyber Security Predictions for 2018 – Infosec Institute kicks off this year’s Top 10, Top 10 list with a look back at their 2017 predictions (AI, IoT, etc.) and dives head first into 2018 noting that Ransomware will be the most dangerous threat to organizations worldwide; cryptocurrency will attract fraudsters looking to mine; cloud security will (ag...
A strong declaration from a historically antagonist foe should put chills in the hearts of Americans preparing themselves for the world ahead: Russian President Vladimir Putin says the nation that leads in AI will be the ruler of the world [1]” … The ruler of the world!
From the article (with some modification to avoid political landmines), we get the following:
“The development of artificial intelligence has increasingly become a national security concern in recent years. It is China and the US (not Russia), which are seen as the two frontrunners, with China recently announcing its ambi...
This month, an AI (artificial intelligence) system passed a medical exam in China for the first time. I wonder how its bedside manner will be? In addition, Saudi Arabia granted citizenship to a robot named Sophia. With all these rapid advancements, I think it is time we explore the spiritual life of robots.
Up till recently, programmers coded and configured algorithms, AI, automation and machine learning system and took personal responsibility for all the code. Today, however, AI has escaped the confines of human oversight and has been empowered and employed to self-program, self-optimize, ...
Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) have been the subject of much discourse in the last several years. They were widely anticipated in the gaming and entertainment industries, but in marketing and corporate settings, the benefits were murky at best. Today, these technologies are becoming more of a reality in all areas of business.
For example, the new IKEA® shopping app leverages augmented reality to help shoppers determine how certain popular items will look in their homes – no trip to a crowded megastore necessary. Marriott® deployed virtual reality for customers to see its hot...
As we end 2017, I’m tired of writing “lecturing” blogs about what organizations should be doing to master data monetization in order to power their business models and achieve digital transformation. While the objective of every organization should be to master big data and data science (artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning) to drive “data monetization,” let’s take a breath and have some fun.
My recent ankle surgery afforded me the opportunity to binge watch “Game of Thrones.” As I watched the impending battle between the White Walkers and humanity, I couldn’t help but ...
For better or worse, big data has irrevocably altered the digital landscape. The explosion in variety, velocity, volume and value of information presents an abundance of previously unimaginable opportunity. But it also creates a number of challenges that need to be successfully navigated.
This reshaped technical world poses the following question to organizations: do you risk presenting, stale, incorrect or erroneous data to your customers? Because, with 2.5 quintillion bytes of data now being created every day, finding a way to manage and harness such potential is a new experience for everyo...
Net Neutrality rules were originally enacted to ensure that all Americans would have equal access to a free and open Internet. We can argue about what Net Neutrality rules did and did not accomplish in a moment, but now I want to explore the most sensational of all the post–Net Neutrality fears: the death of the Internet.
If you’re still reading, you know that the FCC voted to repeal Net Neutrality rules (aka the Open Internet) and replace it with the “Restoring Internet Freedom” order. The outcry from the Open Internet camp has been loud, hyperbolic, hypothetical, and mostly based on the fun...
When shopping for a new data processing platform for IoT solutions, many development teams want to be able to test-drive options before making a choice. Yet when evaluating an IoT solution, it’s simply not feasible to do so at scale with physical devices. Building a sensor simulator is the next best choice; however, generating a realistic simulation at very high TPS with ease of configurability is a formidable challenge. When dealing with multiple application or transport protocols, you would be looking at some significant engineering investment.
On-demand, serverless computing enables deve...
“Why incur the expense of generating and collecting all of this IoT data if you’re not going to monetize it?”
Organizations are racing to embrace the Internet of Things (IoT) as the pundits create “visions of sugar-plums dancing in their heads.” McKinsey Global Institute released their study “The Internet of Things: Mapping the Value beyond the Hype” in June 2015 that highlighted the staggering financial value that IoT could create! (See Figure 1.)
Recently I read somewhere this statement – As we end 2017 and look ahead to 2018, topics that are top of mind for data professionals are the growing range of data management mandates, including the EU’s new General Data Protection Regulation that is directed at personal data and privacy, the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning in enterprise applications, the need for better security in light of the onslaught of hacking cases, and the ability to leverage the expanding Internet of Things.
There is a war a-brewin’, but this war will be fought with wits and not brute strength. Ever since Russian President Vladimir Putin’s declaration that “the nation that leads in AI (Artificial Intelligence) will be the ruler of the world,” the press and analysts have created hysteria regarding the ramifications of artificial intelligence on everything from public education to unemployment to healthcare to Skynet.
Note: artificial intelligence (AI) endows applications with the ability to automatically learn and adapt from experience via interacting with the surroundings / environment. See the b...
What's disruptive innovation, and why does it matter to leaders in the C-suite? It's how the savvy non-conformist will target market opportunities. How does this happen, when established companies seem to have the advantage? Creative software developers can quickly apply new technologies and digital business models to capture untapped demand.
So data warehousing may not be cool anymore, you say? It’s yesterday’s technology (or 1990’s technology if you’re as old as me) that served yesterday’s business needs. And while it’s true that recent big data and data science technologies, architectures and methodologies seems to have rendered data warehousing to the back burner, it is entirely false that there is not a critical role for the data warehouse and Business Intelligence in digitally transformed organizations.
