Time to think about cloud governance

Time to think about cloud governance

By Phil Wainewright on August 6, 2011

Lack of a proper governance strategy when adopting cloud applications and platforms is leaving enterprises with a mish-mash of SaaS silos and cloud islands, leading to poor data consistency and inadequate policy management and oversight.

TIBCO Now Roadshow: Toronto Edition (Part 1)

By Sandy Kemsley on September 8, 2010

TIBCO’s doing a roadshow called TIBCO Now, and because the Toronto one is practically in my backyard – and is at the Hockey Hall of Fame, which I’ve always wanted to visit – I’m here this afternoon to hear about what’s coming up product-wise, and also hear from some of their local customers. We had […]

Connecting the Dots Between the Cloud and Enterprise 2.0

Connecting the Dots Between the Cloud and Enterprise 2.0

By Dion Hinchcliffe on July 21, 2010

Yesterday in Portland at OSCON’s Cloud Summit I spoke about major emerging trends in business, IT, and the Web.

A New Vision for SOA Governance:  A Focus on the Social Aspect

A New Vision for SOA Governance: A Focus on the Social Aspect

By Dion Hinchcliffe on January 12, 2010

It almost a truism that cultural and organizational factors — these include politics, information silos, “tribal” interests, and effective change management — generally determine the success or failure of a major IT initiative in most organizations today. While “big bang” strategic projects and infrastructure upgrades are notoriously fraught with peril, particularly when it comes to […]

More BPM Acquisitions: Progress Buys Savvion

More BPM Acquisitions: Progress Buys Savvion

By Sandy Kemsley on January 11, 2010

BPM acquisitions must be in the air: today, Progress Software announced that they’ve bought Savvion for $49M. This is hot on the heels of IBM’s announcement last month that they’re buying Lombardi, with one huge difference being that Progress doesn’t already have a BPM product in their lineup, whereas IBM has two. Of the three […]

People-centric IT for a new decade

People-centric IT for a new decade

By Phil Wainewright on January 5, 2010

Continuing my review of emerging trends that are going to be big in 2010, here’s one that I suspect will be a defining theme for IT throughout the coming decade. In one of my favorite postings of 2009 back in September, I called this trend The democratization of IT. Developing those thoughts over the past […]
