Today the Gartner Information Management and Analytics Community held its weekly Twitter Chat, (Tweetchat, Tweetjam, TweetUp, whichever you prefer) to discuss concepts around big data, the role of the data scientist, and data quality. Over a half dozen Gartner analysts shared their ideas and research. (Where else can you get access to that many Gartner [...]
Last week I published a note with my colleague Tomas Murphy who covers the Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) technologies, the note was about the intersection of Application Performance Monitoring(APM) and ALM. Although most of the APM buyers and end users I speak with come from an IT Operations or even an application support type role, I [...]
As Seth Godin points out in a recent blog posting, there is often a long preamble to the trigger that launches an innovation on its path up to the Peak of Inflated Expectation. In Mastering the Hype Cycle, we track the advent of usage-based car insurance offerings (such as Snapshot from Progressive Insurance) back to [...]
Facebook’s new “frictionless sharing” enables someone to automatically post what they are doing online in a stream of status updates. To some, this is a little too much sharing. However, “enterprise frictionless sharing” should be the norm for internal social network sites. As a result of Facebook’s frictionless sharing I am constantly seeing what songs [...]
My colleague Avivah Litan has given her insightful and thought-provoking read on the recent US Supreme Court decision here. Avivah correctly identifies the “opt-in”/”opt-out” dichotomy as a critical element of the discussion. Tracking for law enforcement purposes needs, of course, to be set aside from the debate over user consent… but outside law enforcement – [...]
I just read Mike Cohn’s interesting article about rotating the ScrumMaster role… As he states (and I agree) that the role is too pivotal to rotate permanently, it might be an interesting way for developers to see what the job entails and to limit the “management” feeling that can end up developing. It’s an interesting [...]
Value creation and innovation come from thinking in new ways about organizational offerings. Over the last 50 years there has been a progression from offerings based on products (things that you use in your life), to those based on selling solutions (products that we use for you) to selling services (that you incorporate into your [...]
The agile world contains a fair amount of zealots. People that are happy to tell you that you are not doing agile correctly and base that decision on some small difference in process. Some of these people base their statement on a belief that they have found the one true way to develop software. Some [...]
In my posting How a Collaboration Technology Gets Adopted I described a storyline of how a collaboration technology goes from purchasing through adoption (and beyond to value). That technology could be social networking, SharePoint, an intranet, or a portal – I’ve seen the same pattern with all of them. There are 3 paths for what [...]
No doubt you’ve seen this news already http://blogs.wsj.com/wsjam/2012/01/24/scotus-says-no-to-gps-tracking-without-a-warrant/?mod=google_news_blog The Supreme Court ruled that the police violated the 4th amendment (protection against unreasonable searches and seizures) when police used GPS tracking on a narcotics-operative’s vehicle (planted there without his knowledge) to convict the man. His conviction was overturned because there was no valid warrant for the [...]
Apple’s financial results for their fiscal-year 2011 (fourth calendar quarter, 2011) were mind boggling — $46 billion in revenue, net income of $13 billion. They’re officially in uncharted territory, financial performance-wise. But the number that caught my eye was the disclosure from CEO Tim Cook that the company sold 1 million Apple TVs in the [...]
Adoption, adoption, adoption. Sometimes it seems like that’s all anyone wants to hear about when it comes to collaborative technologies such as social networking, SharePoint, Jive, or intranets. I’m on record as being a bit of a curmudgeon about adoption since I’ve seen it abused so frequently (particularly in the SharePoint space) by IT folks [...]
Well, it may have been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon, but in the privacy and policy domain it has been quite the opposite. Wikipedia and a number of other sites went dark in protest against SOPA/PIPA; the Feds took down the MegaUpload file-sharing site, alleging violation of piracy laws; Anonymous retaliated by taking down [...]
I love how the fragmentation of communication is actually moving away from appropriate use, and moving to duplicative use, amplifying the total volume of messages on the planet — while real content or (more accurately) unique thought is growing in proportion to population growth – no small number by itself. This has probably been a [...]
Yahoo’s brand spankin’ new CEO Scott Thompson had his coming out party at what turned out to be a rather curious Q4 earnings call. The numbers are the numbers: up here, down there; news on the Microsoft Search Alliance and the usual “we’re going to try harder and do better” sort of rah-rah chatter. What [...]
It’s been almost a week now and my login credentials are still active. Better still, I have not yet been dragged from my bed in the middle of the night for some baseball bat-based “re-education” so all appears well… As we know, product support is not universally disliked in business circles although it sometimes feels [...]
One of the many pleasures of the role of driver in a carpool that transports high school students to-and-from school is the glaring clarity of their insight. Today’s gang-of-four conversation started with: a) “I know, right? Who needs all of that @#%$ from Facebook. They’re only doing it to make money.” b) “Yeah, they’re like [...]
The US General Services Administration offers a 12-week course for government professionals to master social media. The program looks quite comprehensive, with a good mixture of theory and practice. Weeks 1–2: Communities Off Line and On: Why do we form social networks? What forms do social networks take? How do we manage social networks to [...]
In a prior post I raised the point of what happens when frugality fails? This leads to the question of where IT goes from here. While the future of IT is an ongoing concern, re-imagining that role starts by recognizing your IT mindset and the mindset of other enterprise leaders. What do you think when [...]
Forecasting is hard. Even the best of forecasters don’t get it right very often — yeah, I’m talking to you, Nostrodomus. Yet, in most development models, developers are consistently being asked to forecast. In many cases, developers just end up guesstimating because they don’t have useful historical data they can rely on. Sometimes, that type [...]
I was thinking of bankruptcy last week as I heard about Kodak and then drove by the old Polaroid office being torn down in Waltham MA. In both cases a lot of people thought that the companies would be around forever, until they were not there anymore, victims of the digital camera and their own [...]
An element of software quality often overlooked is the issue of usability. With internal applications you train users on the process to follow and this may make up for a world of ugly. The web has changed our perceptions and devices and Apps will continue to drive home the need to deliver applications that are [...]
The explosion of devices and apps is creating a strain on testing organizations. A broad number of tools have hit the market and we expect to see strong growth in the number of options during the next three years. A plethora of challenges exist: gestures, geolocation, motion, and how to realistically conduct load tests to [...]
In a past success snippet on Intelligent Business Operations (IBO), I shared how linking an iBPMS to the “internet of things” through visible and intelligent tagging . See http://blogs.gartner.com/jim_sinur/2012/01/10/success-snippet-intelligent-business-operations/ This time I want to share a story about configuration and personalization. The industry is healthcare again, but there will be other industries for future posts. [...]
Carsten CasperResearch Director Politische Plädoyers sind eigentlich nicht Gartner’s Angelegenheit und radikale Thesen auch nicht mein Ding, aber die neue Studie eines Kollegen zum Thema Behavioral Data hat mir doch zu denken gegeben. Da wird eine Zukunft skizziert, in der ein Markt an Daten boomt, die von diversesten Firmen zusammengetragen, verarbeitet, und weitergeleitet werden vor [...]
I was a little frustrated last week when I was held at bay by an MDM related issue at work. We tag our inquiries, when appropriate and allowed, with the vendor’s that are the focus of the conversation. One specific vendor name is not maintained correctly in our very large, and erstwhile accurate customer master. [...]
In early January 2012, the world of big data was treated to an interesting series of product releases, press announcements, and blog posts about Hadoop versions. To begin with, we had the announcement of Apache version 1.0 at long last, in a press release. Although there were grumblings here and there in the twittersphere that [...]
My journey deep into cloud security monitoring continues, with a brief detour into “faith-based monitoring” (as in “we believe our cloud provider takes care of monitoring“). In any case, let’s try to review what types of data we can leverage for security monitoring of resources deployed in each of the cloud service provider (CSP) types: [...]
Contributed by David Furlonger Today we conducted our Euro Crisis Webinar. 416 participants were surveyed about: Whether their enterprise had plans in place to deal with a worsened euro crisis Whether the euro crisis has impacted their IT budget Whether the euro crisis would influence investments in innovation Results of the polling revealed that 50% [...]
…Shsssh! Don’t tell anyone, but “they” have inadvertently given me a login and password for the Gartner Bloggers Network. Not too sure who “they” are exactly but whoever they are they scare me. Obviously, it’s an administrative error and somewhere in Gartner Towers there is an earnest analyst figuratively running to his or her inbox [...]
