“Suddenly, everyone’s a data analyst.”I laughed when my friend said this to me. Mostly because I knew it was true.
We were in a Zoom meeting in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic (it was only about six weeks ago, but it feels like years!) and observing how many of our, shall we say, less-than-data-oriented friends were suddenly sharing tons of data and charts as we all tried to make sense of the craziness that was consuming us.
Even more fascinating, however, was that it wasn’t just that all of the data and charts were now relevant to our very existence, but that everyone now seemed to be a data analyst.
We weren’t just sharing them. We were all doing so with a healthy dollop of our own analysis — whether anyone wanted it or not!
A friend of mine even took to hosting his own, for lack of a better term, data analysis show via Facebook Live in which he would do a walk-through of the latest CDC and WHO data (it was actually quite informative and useful!).
But it wasn’t just everyday citizens that were now obsessed with data. It was governments, too.
And what has become exceedingly clear is that those countries who had the best data and were able to use it most effectively have been able to spare their citizens the harshest of the pandemic realities.

This e-book will help to show value in modernizing your middleware and help you to garner support for modernizing middleware in your organization.
Failing to address middleware modernization while addressing the modernization of other parts of the legacy environment risks deepening technical debt and undermining your ability to execute on initiatives that drive innovation and agility, which can put the enterprise at a competitive disadvantage.
Solace PubSub+ brings together the two worlds of cloud-native computing and legacy middleware, empowering organizations to replace older, on-premises middleware with technology that moves existing integrations to a real-time paradigm while also supporting all hybrid IT patterns... [Read more] | |

Digital transformation and automation are two strategic priorities in many enterprises that seem to conflict with each other, as digital transformation focuses on customer-driven organizational change while automation potentially removes people from business processes.
In reality, however, these priorities are well-aligned – as long as the organization properly approaches automation.
Download the whitepaper to get insights on: ・Digital automation platform and how it brings together different automation technologies, including robotic process automation (RPA), digital process automation (DPA), and artificial intelligence (AI) ・MarketsandMarkets Research and Grand View Research on DPA, RPA, and AI ・How organizations can succeed in their digital transformation initiatives ・The digital transformation and automation conundrum ・Intellyx’s take on digital automation platform ・How Newgen will meet digital transformation and digital process automation needs of enterprises today and in the future...

Kubernetes Challenges and OpportunitiesEnterprise IT infrastructure is moving to a new paradigm of cloud-native computing: a broad set of architectural principles and best practices centered on Kubernetes, a popular open source container orchestration platform.
Moving apps from either on-premises or cloud environments to Kubernetes, however, can be tricky. It can be difficult to achieve Kubernetes’ rapid scale-out capabilities, especially for stateful applications.

Being a CIO is tough.
Amid the myriad ways this is true, keeping up with the continually shifting constellation of buzzwords is one of the most trivial, yet frustrating challenges that you face.
Yet, you never know which buzzword may catch the eye of a member of your board or executive team, so keep up, you must.
But against this backdrop of annoyingness, a new buzzword has emerged that is actually worthy of your attention: DataOps.
In fact, I’d argue that you need to do more than merely pay attention to this new buzzword. I’d go as far as to say that DataOps has now become a CIO mandate.
The fact is that we now live in a data-driven world. But the enterprise technology stack — and collaboration model — is not set up for this reality.
Data is now an essential business driver. It will be the primary driver of competitive differentiation for the digital era enterprise.
That means that you must build a critical capability that enables you to rapidly identify new uses of data to enhance the customer experience and improve operational efficiency, develop and adapt data pipelines to meet these new business use cases, and deliver those data-derived insights into production.
And that is the essence of DataOps... [Read more] | |

It’s funny how some things — important ideas in particular — seem to go through cycles.
For a while, they’re the most important thing you’ve ever worked on. Then you reach a point where things settle down and you move on, until one day these ideas come roaring back with newfound relevance.
I’m having one of those moments right now around an important topic that I’ve been working on for several years: readiness.
And, as I’ll explain in a moment, the reason the importance of readiness has come roaring back into my consciousness is because of its relationship to something that is a top-of-mind issue for everyone right now... [Read more] | |

CIOs and business leaders also need to clarify their expectations of how different categories of AI technology provide real business value.
“The biggest challenge to integrating AI into existing business processes is confusion over what AI is really good for, especially in the context of business operations, as opposed to specialized technical and scientific applications,” said Jason Bloomberg, founder and president of Intellyx, a digital transformation analyst firm. For all its power to enhance business processes, AI can’t run a business — its current state falls far short of that kind of general-purpose application of AI... [Read more] | |

Every company has their own original recipe, their secret formulas and corporate secrets. In reality they have thousands of them, but rather than being locked away for perpetuity on paper, they are held in the minds and habits of employees, and this can be a significant limiter of growth.
“The existence of this tribal knowledge also poses a significant risk, particularly as the rate of change increases exponentially,” says Charles Araujo, an independent digital analyst and founder of the Institute for Digital Transformation. “As organisations are forced to change course rapidly, these bits of undocumented, yet critical, information become a minefield of known unknowns that can threaten their ability to adapt.”...

Each month, Charles Araujo joins Cloud Wars Live for a recurring segment known as “Araujo on Transformation.” Charlie is a bestselling author who has three books to his name: “The Quantum Age of IT,” “The Ecosystem Advantage,” and “Performance-driven IT.” He is also an engaging speaker who will entertain and challenge your audience. Charlie has a website called www.charlesaraujo.com, and another called “The Institute for Digital Transformation.”
Charlie says from his standpoint he’s not sure of exactly how this is going to play out – and how much of this is truly long-lasting, from an economic standpoint. Uncertainty, he says, is certainly the big elephant in the room, and it’s really a debilitating factor.
Charlie says the correlation he draws if you think about a sports team or an elite military unit – that strategy is the secret sauce. He says his father did work for military units and Navy SEALs and watching them drill was utterly fascinating – because they communicated so much with body language and signals that were not even verbal...

On the one hand, the fundamentals that have always underpinned ITSM will remain unchanged. IT organizations will still need to function and we’ll still need operating practices and processes that guide those efforts. That said, as we come out of this pandemic there’ll be no question that the nature of *how* we work will change – and that will demand that organizations adapt their ITSM practices to best support a workforce that operates more remotely, more asynchronously, and more collaboratively...
