Digital Transformation and Disruption, Amazon Style - What You Can Learn
Amazon is pursuing new markets and disrupting industries at an incredible
pace. Almost every industry seems to be in its crosshairs. Companies and
industries that once thought they were safe are now worried about being
"Amazoned.". The new watch word should be "Be afraid. Be very afraid."
In his session at 22nd CloudEXPO | DXWorldEXPO, Chris Kocher, a co-founder
of Grey Heron, will address questions such as: What new areas is Amazon
disrupting? How are they doing this? Where are they likely to go? What are
they investing in? How are they competing? What does it mean for you and your
business?
Using the Four Values Framework, he'll examine how Amazon is creating new
value with vertical and horizontal integration, Value Creation of new
categories, Value Migration into adjacent categories and mark... (more)
Enterprise IoT Has Created Smart Cities and a New Economy
Enterprises have taken advantage of IoT to achieve important revenue and cost
advantages. What is less apparent is how incumbent enterprises operating at
scale have, following success with IoT, built analytic, operations management
and software development capabilities - ranging from autonomous vehicles to
manageable robotics installations. They have embraced these capabilities as
if they were Silicon Valley startups.
As a result, many firms employ new business models that place enormous
importance on software-based innovations. They require not only skilled
occupations, such as data analysts and DevOps professionals, with more
technical skills, but also middle-level employees with more software and
computing acumen. Both large and small firms operate differently.
These are the "green shoots" of a new economy... (more)
Three Ruling Technology Trends to Watch Out for in 2018
As we head into a new year, IT improvements and management should be top of
mind for any business looking to amp up their customer experience, delivery
and service in 2018. Recently, at CA World ‘17, I talked about how every
business strategy is now an IT strategy. With that in mind, I have a few
predictions for 2018 that I encourage companies to have on their to-do list
as they look to find greater success in the new year.
#1 It's all about DevSecOps
Security will remain top of mind for customers, but the software development
lifecycle will now need to integrate security from start to finish in a
seamless way. The need for speed and velocity with quality in development has
created a "shift-left" movement that integrates security from the start,
which needs to be easy and accessible for developers as they write c... (more)

For most of the last decade, there has been a steady drumbeat of predictions
about the demise of the Chief Information Officer (CIO). Whether it was the
rise of the cloud, the emergence of the Chief Digital Officer or the promise
of artificial intelligence, there has been a chorus of people claiming that
the CIO role would imminently become antiquated and unnecessary.
As you would expect, there was also a counter-chorus (made up mostly of IT
executives) proclaiming the critical nature of the CIO role and why it was
finally time for them to ascend to the top echelons of enterprise management
and take their proverbial ‘seat at the table.'
And, of course, neither of these eventualities has really happened.
There are unquestionably instances in which each of these predictions has
come true. There are a few organizations that have eliminated the CIO role
and survived to t... (more)

Leveraging AI for Mobile Enterprise Applications
Mobile device usage has increased exponentially during the past several
years, as consumers rely on handhelds for everything from news and weather to
banking and purchases. What can we expect in the next few years? The way in
which we interact with our devices will fundamentally change, as businesses
leverage Artificial Intelligence. We already see this taking shape as
businesses leverage AI for cost savings and customer responsiveness. This
trend will continue, as AI is used for more sophisticated patterns, and
chatbots replace the traditional mobile apps.

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.

Instead, I think this is the year that we will see the role of the CIO transformed into something altogether different.

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.

In 2018, the shifting emphasis to IoT, Artificial Intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR) and automation seem to overshadow cloud; yet, I believe it is just the opposite. A recently published industry survey shows that by 2020, the use of public cloud will grow dramatically. Business goals related to actively adopting AI, IoT and machine learning strategies are prompting IT teams to consider outsourced cloud and cloud experts to move faster than competitors. The formats and pilots incorporating these technologies can be seen across multiple markets and segments including government, retail, ...
