Throughout history, various leaders have risen up and tried to unify the world by conquest. Fortunately, none of their plans have succeeded. The world goes on just fine with each country ruling itself; no single ruler is necessary. Thatâs how it is with the container platform ecosystem, as well.
Thereâs no need for one all-powerful, all-encompassing container platform. Think about any other technology sector out there â there are always multiple solutions in every space. The same goes for container technology. When you create something that is super scalable, the drawback is that itâs not goi...

At the sign post up ahead, your next stop, the Disruption Zone! 
Since cloud computing has made big leaps in the past few years by emerging as a conventional business tool, several strategies have consequently surfaced.

It is impossible to go outside and not notice banks offering consumers new ways to save, send, spend, and access their money at a bank. This trend-to ease access to funds â extends well beyond the retail banking sector and is equally prevalent among investment banks, private banks, hedge funds, mutual funds, ETF's and just about any financial institution, large or small. It is arguably the single most compelling commercial driver in the financial services sector. Financial institutions compete aggressively and continuously for dominance in this regard and technology is, in all cases, is the si...
New forces are impacting the entire value chain of an enterprise. Availability of large amounts of digital data, automation of the production processes, inter-connectivity of the supply chains, and digitization of the customer experience is re-organizing entire industries leading to the transformation of business models.
Letâs look at the some of the critical pieces of the value chain and see the impact of the new technologies.
Enterprise IT has been in the era of Hybrid Cloud for some time now. But it seems most conversations about Hybrid are focused on integrating AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google ECM into existing on-premises systems. Where is all the Private Cloud? What do technology providers need to do to make their offerings more compelling? How should enterprise IT executives and buyers define their focus, needs, and roadmap, and communicate that clearly to the providers? 
I was reading an interview with John Krafcik, CEO of Googleâs Self-driving Car Project, in the August 8th issue of Bloomberg BusinessWeek. The article referenced a survey by AlixPartners where they found that 73% of people wanted autonomous vehicles. But when people had the option to have a steering wheel in the car, allowing optional full control to the driver, the acceptance rate jumped to 90%. This finding, that people are much more accepting of automation and new ideas when they have the option of control, is totally consistent with what we found with respect to how to deliver big data ...
Information technology is an industry that has always experienced change, and the dramatic change sweeping across the industry today could not be truthfully described as the first time we've seen such widespread change impacting customer investments. However, the rate of the change, and the potential outcomes from today's digital transformation has the distinct potential to separate the industry into two camps: Organizations that see the change coming, embrace it, and successful leverage it; and on the other side, organizations that will find themselves as roadkill on the technology highway.
About a year ago we tuned into âthe need for speedâ? and how a concept like "serverless computingâ? was increasingly catering to this. We are now a year further and the term âserverlessâ? is taking on unexpected proportions. With some even seeing it as the successor to cloud in general or at least as a successor to the cloudsâ poorer cousin in terms of revenue, hype and adoption: PaaS.
The question we need to ask is whether this constitutes an example of Hype Hopping: to effortlessly pivot to the next new thing once the previous one turns out to be just a bit less attractive and certainly a lot ...
In their 2014 CIO Agenda report Gartner describe how âTaming the Digital Dragonâ is key to Digital Transformation strategies, with the Hybrid Cloud Platform model as the enabling technology blueprint AND business model.
As their âWe are here' arrow describes Gartner propose we are at the transition point from a second to a third generation of IT, the shift from IT industrialization to Digitization, where the key skills of a CIO are business models and digital leadership, rather than just IT service management aka a shift from the CIO to the CDO - Chief Digital Officer.
The newer Windows 10 devices with the Hello extensions are definitely going to have a cost implication, but in todayâs context in our own consumer world where every individual has access to Smartphones with advanced biometric features, why should the enterprise user continue to use the old PCs that are managed by traditional passwords? I think the cost of transformation to these devices will be worth the efficiencies in the ITIL operations as well as improved security to enterprise data. It would be useful to collect data about OEMs who have Windows 10 PCs with Biometric Hello features and the...
