Capping IT Off
Monthly Archives: July 2011
Twitter, a real-time resume
Twitter has become an increasingly important place. Some people, back in the day, used Google to find out about certain topics or people. Now a lot of people go on someone else his Twitter page and in a couple of minutes they know what that person is all about. If you Google someone, for instance Rick Mans (Social Media expert of Capgemini), you see that the Twitter profile ranks fairly close to the top of …
What comes next after Facebook and Twitter and the challenges of skating to where the puck is going to be
I was thinking the other day about what comes next after Facebook and Twitter. I looked at interesting initiatives like the Future of Facebook project but I also realised pretty quickly that for the majority or organisations the reality is that thinking about what comes next after Facebook and Twitter might be entirely the wrong question.
Left brain and right brain must work together to deliver success in Digital Transformation
To take advantage of digital and not get out-maneuvered by smaller, more nimble start-ups, left brain and right brain must work together as one. The silo that we built up as a backlash against first generation, technology-centric (failed) CRM, must now be broken down. Of course this doesn’t mean jumping to technology for the sake of technology.
Domain and DMZ – critical consideration
A DMZ separates an external network from directly referencing an internal network. It does this by isolating the machine that is being directly accessed from all other machines. Most of the time the external network is the Internet and what is in the DMZ is the web server but this is not the only possible configuration. A DMZ can be used to isolate a particular machine within a network from other machines. This might be …
Innovating and Enabling Digital Futures
Certain trends and observations in the use and growth of content and communication technologies make it clear that the future of digital enterprise will depend heavily on key enablers such as Mobile Infrastructure. As ever, technology is probably the least of a set of key challenges facing those that would capitalize on such clear foresight, and this was the topic of my webcast at a BrightTalk Summit earlier this week. First of all, my thanks …
MDM: Looking at SaaS? Start with MDM
The explosion of SaaS is a good thing. Three years ago I wrote a paper on the shift from systems to service about how businesses need to start thinking in terms of business services to enable this shift. In that paper I talked about how taking a business service approach helped you understand what should be moved to the cloud. So lets be clear, I think SaaS is a good thing and it really helps …
The future of social work interfaces: Embedding personal networks
19th Century: “Work” and “Private” become two separate time zones defined by when people clock into the mass production conveyor belts and when they clock out again to go home to some highly needed and well deserved sleep. 21st Century: Mobile and nomadic work patterns are spreading like wild fire. We get access to our digital work spaces in the cloud. We are expected to be connected to our professional lives 24/7 through mobile phones, …
Open Source Software – by Microsoft
In a recent tweet someone asked the question why anyone involved with Open Source software development would still want to work at Microsoft. Somehow it doesn’t seem like the most obvious environment for it. Do open source adepts at Microsoft get teased over lunch? Do colleagues change their Desktop background to look like Linux? Do they get a fixed monthly salary deduction? Still, most big vendors of proprietary software have clearly become more open in …
The Innovative Art of Business Model Generation
Simplify and facilitate. In my opinion, this should be a key principle for any modern business operating in the Internet age. It really baffles me to see many so called business models that appear to be doing just the opposite. Well, the remedy is close to hand, in form of a novel approach to business modelling using something called a Business Model Canvas.
