Javits Center in New York City, and November 6-8, 2018, at the Santa Clara
Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA.
Digital Transformation (DX) is a major focus with the introduction of DXWorld
Expo within the program. Successful transformation requires a laser focus on
being data-driven and on using all the tools available that enable
transformation if they plan to survive over the long term.
A total of 88% of Fortune 500 companies from a generation ago are now out of
business. Only 12% still survive. Similar percentages are found throughout
enterprises of all sizes.

"I think that marketers like 'cloud computing' because it is devoid of

Chrome OS seems like a very bad, and maybe evil, idea. Although I like the
Chrome browser--it doesn't seem to be a malware-sieve like IE and it's
definitely not a memory hog like FF--I agree with the sentiment that Google's
twin motivations for OS are a.) more control over me b.) tweaking Microsoft's

themselves on tolerance and philanthropy, and they don't know the difference
between a memory chip and a guy named Chip out at the club.
Second, Santa Clara County, home of the original Silicon Valley, is often
slammed as being a culturally deficient workaholics' paradise that cares less
about philanthropy than it does about how the latest chips will "enable"
their business models and provide their... (more)
