Individuals must be flexible and adaptable in liquid modernity. Enterprise 3.0 involves the radical changes from technology, business, and management trends converging. CIOs will evolve from technology caretakers to strategic business leaders driving new revenue and simplifying operations.
The document discusses several technological game changers for 2011-2012:
1. The role of the CIO will change to focus more on business technology and innovation rather than just IT support.
2. Consumerization of IT will continue as mobility and cloud applications become more prevalent. Knowledge workers will be "always on" using a variety of personal and enterprise applications.
3. Strategies will shift from technology-focused to business process-focused, recognizing that technology alone does not drive business value.
The document argues these changes will significantly impact how individuals and enterprises use and manage technology over the next few years.
meet2016: Reshaping Business Through IoT: Key Technology Factors to Consider
The IoT is the manifestation that the raw material of the information age is datum. Data are the new source of innovation and the lever to achieve business sustainability. By extracting data from assets and products, companies can become more efficient through a strategic rethinking of their value chains and business processes. In so doing, companies will add the required readiness to shift from products to services, and eventually enter in the outcome economy. To truly embrace the digital transformation, organizations need to collect actionable data from their assets, processes, and products and then connect the OT (Operational Technology) world where data are generated to IT (Information Technology) world where data are consumed. Beside predictive maintenance and asset usage maximization/optimization the benefits are huge: the transformation of any business into a smart business, increasing competitiveness also in mature markets; the creation of new innovative products and services; and the enablement of service prosumerization.
To make this happen there are some key technology factors to consider during the implementation of an IoT architecture.

Transforming the world with Information technology
This document provides an overview of how information technology is driving transformation. It discusses how IT is a general purpose technology that impacts all aspects of the economy. As IT continues to get better, faster, and cheaper, it enables new business models, innovations, and drives productivity growth. The world is becoming an "information rainforest" as data and intelligence become ubiquitous, accessible from any device in real-time. While some challenges remain, IT opportunities will continue as adoption increases.
1. The document discusses how business models in technology are shifting from product sales to consumption/pay-as-you-go models where customers pay suppliers only for the value they receive.
2. This shift profoundly changes the economics for both customers and suppliers, with suppliers taking on more risk up front but gaining the opportunity for ongoing revenue streams through microtransactions.
3. The new model also drives simplification as complexity is no longer a competitive advantage, puts pressure on prices, and changes the roles of IT departments, channels, and how user data can be monetized.

Platform products have functionality above the surface that developers see, and infrastructure components below the surface. Integration platforms, SRE, SASE, storage and backup tools, and micro frontends are discussed as examples of platform products.
This document discusses transitioning from a project-led organization to a product-led organization. It notes that while many companies have tried approaches like agile, digital transformation and design thinking, software projects still often fail to deliver user satisfaction. It advocates empowering product teams to own the entire product lifecycle and giving them autonomy to solve problems, rather than managing software development as a series of projects. This approach mirrors how successful startups operate and can help deliver better customer outcomes.
This document discusses transforming from data projects to data products. It outlines how companies can adopt a product mindset and focus on creating data products that solve specific customer problems. Key aspects include defining data product teams led by data product managers, adopting a product mindset of focusing on outcomes rather than outputs, and using storytelling to communicate insights from data products. The presentation argues that treating data as a product can create competitive advantages and that every company may need to become a data science company in the future.
This document discusses product discovery and the importance of making the process data-driven. It recommends gathering customer data from various sources, analyzing the customer experience, and using product analytics tools to obtain both quantitative and qualitative insights. This will help ensure ideas are validated with real customers before significant development work begins. The goal is to learn fast through discovery while still releasing products with confidence.
The document discusses content from STKI, an IT knowledge integration company, including information about their new website and content examples. It covers topics like digital disruption, the four industrial revolutions, predictions for 2023 in Israel, and how every company will need to become a software company. Across multiple pages, it provides definitions, predictions, recommendations, and perspectives on challenges and opportunities brought about by digital transformation and the fourth industrial revolution.
The document is a slide deck from STKI, an Israeli market research and strategic analyst firm, discussing the impact of global events on IT budgets in Israel in 2022-2024.

Mitigating the Impact of State Management in Cloud Stream Processing Systems
Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states.
In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing.
Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.

Individuals must be flexible and adaptable in liquid modernity. Enterprise 3.0 involves the radical changes from technology, business, and management trends converging. CIOs will evolve from technology caretakers to strategic business leaders driving new revenue and simplifying operations.
The document discusses several technological game changers for 2011-2012:
1. The role of the CIO will change to focus more on business technology and innovation rather than just IT support.
2. Consumerization of IT will continue as mobility and cloud applications become more prevalent. Knowledge workers will be "always on" using a variety of personal and enterprise applications.
3. Strategies will shift from technology-focused to business process-focused, recognizing that technology alone does not drive business value.
The document argues these changes will significantly impact how individuals and enterprises use and manage technology over the next few years.
meet2016: Reshaping Business Through IoT: Key Technology Factors to ConsiderRoberto Siagri
The IoT is the manifestation that the raw material of the information age is datum. Data are the new source of innovation and the lever to achieve business sustainability. By extracting data from assets and products, companies can become more efficient through a strategic rethinking of their value chains and business processes. In so doing, companies will add the required readiness to shift from products to services, and eventually enter in the outcome economy. To truly embrace the digital transformation, organizations need to collect actionable data from their assets, processes, and products and then connect the OT (Operational Technology) world where data are generated to IT (Information Technology) world where data are consumed. Beside predictive maintenance and asset usage maximization/optimization the benefits are huge: the transformation of any business into a smart business, increasing competitiveness also in mature markets; the creation of new innovative products and services; and the enablement of service prosumerization.
To make this happen there are some key technology factors to consider during the implementation of an IoT architecture.

As IT continues to get better, faster, and cheaper, it enables new business models, innovations, and drives productivity growth. The world is becoming an "information rainforest" as data and intelligence become ubiquitous, accessible from any device in real-time. While some challenges remain, IT opportunities will continue as adoption increases.
1. The document discusses how business models in technology are shifting from product sales to consumption/pay-as-you-go models where customers pay suppliers only for the value they receive.
2. This shift profoundly changes the economics for both customers and suppliers, with suppliers taking on more risk up front but gaining the opportunity for ongoing revenue streams through microtransactions.
3. The new model also drives simplification as complexity is no longer a competitive advantage, puts pressure on prices, and changes the roles of IT departments, channels, and how user data can be monetized.

The document discusses the evolution of the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) role over time. It describes how the OCIO started as an "order taker" for IT in the 1990s (OCIO v1). In the 2000s, the OCIO was established to better align IT with business needs (OCIO v2). Later, business relationship managers (BRMs) were introduced to improve customer experience but acted as bottlenecks (2017-2022). The document argues for a product-led organization where product teams are empowered and the OCIO acts as an enabler by providing resources and skills to product managers based on product success metrics.
This document discusses platform teams and platform engineering. It introduces platform products as products that can be easily used by other teams to focus on business problems while maintaining standards. Platform engineering is defined as designing and building toolchains and workflows that enable self-service capabilities for other teams. Platform products have functionality above the surface that developers see, and infrastructure components below the surface. Integration platforms, SRE, SASE, storage and backup tools, and micro frontends are discussed as examples of platform products.
This document discusses transitioning from a project-led organization to a product-led organization. It notes that while many companies have tried approaches like agile, digital transformation and design thinking, software projects still often fail to deliver user satisfaction. It advocates empowering product teams to own the entire product lifecycle and giving them autonomy to solve problems, rather than managing software development as a series of projects. This approach mirrors how successful startups operate and can help deliver better customer outcomes.
This document discusses transforming from data projects to data products. It outlines how companies can adopt a product mindset and focus on creating data products that solve specific customer problems. Key aspects include defining data product teams led by data product managers, adopting a product mindset of focusing on outcomes rather than outputs, and using storytelling to communicate insights from data products. The presentation argues that treating data as a product can create competitive advantages and that every company may need to become a data science company in the future.
This document discusses product discovery and the importance of making the process data-driven. It recommends gathering customer data from various sources, analyzing the customer experience, and using product analytics tools to obtain both quantitative and qualitative insights. This will help ensure ideas are validated with real customers before significant development work begins. The goal is to learn fast through discovery while still releasing products with confidence.
The document discusses content from STKI, an IT knowledge integration company, including information about their new website and content examples. It covers topics like digital disruption, the four industrial revolutions, predictions for 2023 in Israel, and how every company will need to become a software company.

The past 2 years have had a huge impact on organizations journeys to become data driven. Existing data architectures were disrupted; rigid structures and processes were questioned, and many data strategies were re-written.
On the one hand, the global pandemic emphasized the need for organizations to raise the bar, implement strategies, improve data literacy and culture, increase investments in data and analytics, and explore AI opportunities.
On the other, it also presented new challenges such as: the war for data talent and the wide literacy gap. Inadequate structures as well as outdated processes were exposed. Major changes in the data landscape (Data Fabric, Data Mesh, Transition to Data Clouds) will further disrupt existing data architectures and enhance the need for a new adaptive architecture and organization.
Recommended for CTOs, architects, IT Managers
COVID-19 has emphasized the fact that business agility and hence technology agility are the most if not the only factors for business success. However, technology agility in most IT departments is not the “strongest muscle”. Technology adoption of Cloud, Devops, Integration, Low-Code and Zero Trust are affecting all IT departments and even the entire organization. New
processes and relationships between the various branches of the IT department should emerge, forsaking old habits and technologies. New technologies and roles\responsibilities are taking their place.
Recommended for CXOs and all IT Managers
If COVID-19 has demonstrated anything it is that organizations can no longer rely on traditional long-term strategic direction-setting, in order to succeed and grow. Today, organizations need to be able to quickly identify changes and respond with speed.

Mitigating the Impact of State Management in Cloud Stream Processing SystemsScyllaDB
Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states.
In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing.
Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.
