Beyond Agility: The CIO's Guide to Enterprise Transformation with Cloud
Business professionals no longer wonder if they'll migrate to the cloud; it's
now a matter of when. The cloud environment has proved to be a major force in

Secure Device Lifecycle Management: IoT's Knight in Shining Armor
As IoT continues to increase momentum, so does the associated risk.
Secure Device Lifecycle Management (DLM) is ranked as one of the most
important technology areas of IoT. Driving this trend is the realization that
secure support for IoT devices provides companies the ability to deliver
high-quality, reliable, secure offerings faster, create new revenue streams,
and reduce support costs, all while building a competitive advantage in their
markets.
In this session, we will use customer use cases to demonstrate how DLM is can
rescue devices in distress and equip companies with the tools necessary to
face the IoT of tomorrow.

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 ambition to become the global leader in AI research by 2030.
Many analysts warn that America is in danger of falling behind, especially as
the [current US] administration prepares to cut funding for basic science and
technology research.”

Building Open Source IoT Ecosystems
Widespread fragmentation is stalling the growth of the IIoT and making it

Transformation Practice: The Key to Making Change a Core Competency
Guest post by Intellyx Principal Analyst Charles Araujo
There is a fundamental flaw in how many people think about digital
transformation. First, as we've written about extensively at Intellyx, people
tend to think about it as a finite corporate project, rather than as a
process of continual transformation.
There is a deeper flaw in thinking, however, that leads to this type of
project mentality. Enterprise leaders commonly think of transformation as
something done at a corporate level - something the organization does to
itself.
But that mindset creates a separation between the act of transformation at an
organizational level and the transformation that must occur within each
individual to make organizational transformation a reality.
The truth, however, is that there is no such thing as organization... (more)

The new smart appliances, the new smart or self-driving cars (which are amalgamations of many ‘things'). When we are looking at the world of IoT, we should take a step back, look at the big picture. What value are these devices providing. IoT is not about the devices, its about the data consumed and generated. The devices are tools, mechanisms, conduits.

"Grape Up leverages Cloud Native technologies and helps companies build software using microservices, and work the DevOps agile way. We've been doing digital innovation for the last 12 years," explained Daniel Heckman, of Grape Up in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 21st Cloud Expo, held Oct 31 – Nov 2, 2017, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.
The cloud provides two major advantages to load and performance procedures that help testing teams better model realistic behavior: instant infrastructure and geographic location. Cloud-based load testing also lowers the total cost of ownership, increases flexibility and allows testers to understand the impact of third-party components. So you’re sold on using the cloud; here’s what you should look for in a cloud-based load testing solution.
The general concepts of DevOps have played a central role advancing the modern software delivery industry. With the library of DevOps best practices, tips and guides expanding quickly, it can be difficult to track down the best and most accurate resources and information. In order to help the software development community, and to further our own learning, we reached out to leading industry analysts and asked them about an increasingly popular tenet of a DevOps transformation: collaboration.
As software development becomes an integral part of today’s enterprise, and teams are often dispersed globally, it’s important as a developer to have some tried and true best practices to stand by. Scaling these principles and duplicating successes across the distributed enterprise can be a challenge however, particularly if other organizational stakeholders are turning on the heat when it comes to security, costs, and concerns about shadow IT.
I recently had a conversation with Jennifer Lent from TechTarget. She’s a respected thinker in our field and covers major trends. We spoke about the emergence of BizDevOps and its implications for businesses. We tackled a number of topics. She wrote about our conversation in a recent article, “BizDevOps: Here’s how to make it happen in your organization.”
I believe that this may finally be the year that the CIO role ‘crosses the Rubicon,' leaving behind its traditional, IT-focused orientation. But I don't believe that either of the previous predictions of this outcome — fading into oblivion or rising to a business executive level — is correct.
Instead, I think this is the year that we will see the role of the CIO transformed into something altogether different.
We call it DevOps but much of the time there’s a lot more discussion about the needs and concerns of developers than there is about other groups. There’s a focus on improved and less isolated developer workflows. There are many discussions around collaboration, continuous integration and delivery, issue tracking, source code control, code review, IDEs, and xPaaS – and all the tools that enable those things. Changes in developer practices may come up – such as developers taking ownership of code ...
