The Digital Agility Layer: Time To Get Intentionally Digital

The Digital Agility Layer: Time To Get Intentionally Digital

By Sandy Kemsley on October 10, 2013

Wolfram Jost, CTO of Software AG, started us off on the first full day of Innovation World with a keynote on innovations for the digital enterprise. As I mentioned yesterday, the use of the term “digital enterprise” (and even more, “digitization”) is a bit strange, since pretty much everything is digital these days, it’s just […]

At the press panel that I attended just prior to this evening’s opening […]

IBM Vision for BPM, ODM and SOA

By Sandy Kemsley on May 1, 2012

Opening day at IBM Impact 2012 (there were some sessions yesterday, but today is the real start), and a good keynote focused on innovation. The wifi is appalling – if IBM can’t get this right with their messages about scalability, who can? – so not sure if I’ll have the chance to post any of […]

Why The Next App You Use Might Be In A Social Network

By Dion Hinchcliffe on August 3, 2011

While social networks are still just getting their sea legs in most organizations, the next big leap forward — in addition to social analytics — is likely to be the integration of our productivity and line of business apps into our activity streams.

Oracle’s Exadata Refresh Ups Ante on Technology and Selling Strategy

The Exadata marketing story is unrelenting, and Oracle backed it with plenty of happy customers for analysts to query at Open World this year. The stories were compelling; I’ll mention a few below. In the analyst pitch, we were shown a couple of dozen logos – good for a still relatively new high-end, long sales […]
