How to Destroy an Organization in Three Ways with Nothing but Free Apps
I didn't want to be so dramatic, but I couldn't help but be completely honest
as well. The end possibility is that your entire organization may suffer the
fate as Sony Pictures, Target, Anthem and others that have been shaken by
hacks and vulnerabilities in their networks. In some cases it has been
analyzed that hackers sat in for months stealing data, until they chose to
tell everyone about their presence. That's probably one of the reasons that
websites like WikiLeaks are constantly able to churn document af... (more)
@ThingsExpo Stories By Liz McMillan  Microservices are a very exciting architectural approach that many organizations are looking to as a way to accelerate innovation. Microservices promise to allow teams to move away from monolithic "ball of mud" systems, but the reality is that, in the vast majority of organizations, different projects and technologies will continue to be developed at different speeds.
How to handle the dependencies between these disparate systems with different iteration cycles? Consider the "canoncial problem" in this scenario: microservice A (releases daily) depends on a couple of additions to backend B (re...

Dec. 3, 2015 09:45 AM EST Reads: 128 | By Liz McMillan  In demand-intensive mobile and web applications, an emerging pattern is to host the Systems of Engagement in the cloud (for maximum responsiveness) but keep the Systems of Record with the other important business systems in the company datacenter, often on a tightly secured mainframe. But what about the space in between?
In this IBM Redpaper publication, we show that the IBM Bluemix cloud platform offers technologies that make it easy for cloud-based SoEs to securely connect to on-premises IBM mainframes, creating a fully secure, end-to-end, SoE-SoR environment.
