Don't go chasing waterfall ... development, that is. According to a recent
post by Madison Moore on Medium featuring insights from several software
delivery industry leaders, waterfall is - while still popular - not the best
way to win in the marketplace. With methodologies like Agile, DevOps and
Continuous Delivery becoming ever more prominent over the past 15 years or
so, waterfall is old news. Or, is it? Moore cites a recent study by Gartner:
"According to Gartner's IT Key Metrics Data report, the waterfall method as
employed on 56% of development efforts in 2015, with iterative methods used
in 21% of projects and agile in 23%." While Agile has been the buzzword of
the decade, it seems many organizations still haven't fully adopted the
practice yet. While many cite the fallbacks of waterfall development - no
feedback loops, rigid structure and requirements-based ... (more)

Beware of the Dark Side of Personalized Customer Experiences via the Internet
of Things
Personalization has long been the holy grail of marketing. Simply stated,
communicate the most relevant offer to the right person and you will increase
sales. To achieve this, you must understand the individual. Consequently,
digital marketers developed many ways to gather and leverage customer
information to deliver targeted experiences.

In his session at @ThingsExpo, Lou Casal, Founder and Principal Consultant at

ability to monitor behavior, gather even more customer data and potentially

are countless examples of how this can go terribly wrong. Perhaps it's time

Personalization in the Age of IoT
More and more brands have jumped on the IoT bandwagon. We have an excess of
wearables - activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses and sneakers, and
more that track seemingly endless datapoints. However, most consumers have no
idea what "IoT" means. Creating more wearables that track data shouldn't be
the aim of brands; delivering meaningful, tangible relevance to their users
should be.

We're in a period in which the IoT pendulum is still swinging. Initially, it
swung toward "smart for smart's sake," and many brands remain in that corner.
But many brands are also gradually opting for more strategic approaches.
They're taking a breath and stepping back to examine both existing and
potential IoT experiences, asking themselves whether their product... (more)

Culture: Change or Die
All organizations that did not originate this moment have a pre-existing
culture as well as legacy technology and processes that can be more or less
amenable to DevOps implementation. That organizational culture is influenced
by the personalities and management styles of Executive Management, the wider
culture in which the organization is situated, and the personalities of key
team members at all levels of the organization. This culture and entrenched
interests usually throw a wrench in the works because of misaligned
incentives.

Top Reasons Your Organization Benefits from Cloud Bursting
When it comes to cloud computing, the ability to turn massive amounts of
compute cores on and off on demand sounds attractive to IT staff, who need to
manage peaks and valleys in user activity. With cloud bursting, the majority
of the data can stay on premises while tapping into compute from public cloud
providers, reducing risk and minimizing need to move large files.

In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Scott Jeschonek, Director of Product
Management at Avere Systems, discussed the IT and business benefits that
cloud bursting provides, including increased compute capacity, lower IT
investment, financial agility, and, ultimately, faster time-to-market.

How much does it cost to make an app is almost as popular a question as it is
confusing.
No one tries to learn the exact costs of, say, making a movie: people realize
that there's an overwhelming amount of variables involved on which they
depend.
But almost every day a new inquiry is posted on a tech forum, Quora, or
Reddit, as to how much it'd take to build a mobile business app.
Such calculation, in many ways, is even harder to make.
Is there a way to tackle the question properly?
First we want you to understand that any exact figures couldn't possibly be
given straight away, without the details, and that all the so-called online
app development cost calculators are, essentially, just marketing baits.
That said, there is still some info you can analyze to get a frame of
reference; to get a rough idea about a budget you can squeeze an app in.

The cloud wars rage on. The room is full of 800lb gorillas that have been battling over market share and supremacy for several years now. You know who the key players are - Amazon, Microsoft, Google and IBM – all still standing. Three year ago, Gartner described the market as ‘still evolving and maturing’. However, last year, they described the market as ‘in a state of upheaval’ with many providers shifting their strategies as they struggle to obtain market share.
Business professionals no longer wonder if they'll migrate to the cloud; it's now a matter of when. The cloud environment has proved to be a major force in transitioning to an agile business model that enables quick decisions and fast implementation that solidify customer relationships. And when the cloud is combined with the power of cognitive computing, it drives innovation and transformation that achieves astounding competitive advantage.
