IoT Software Development and Delivery | @ThingsExpo #IoT #M2M #API
The IoT trend brings rise to a plethora of new and useful services that enrich our lives, simplify it, or save us time and money. To provide these kind of connected – and complex – services, software companies must have three different software teams (at least!) and they have to deliver the different, integrated, service components across different platforms and devices. In addition, software upgrades must be coordinated across all environments to ensure service continuity. Only an integrated DevOps platform can provide the traceability, visibility, shared control, and the ability to react quickly – for these complex software development, test, and deployment processes.
API World ‘Power Panel’ at @CloudExpo | #API #IoT #M2M #BigData
Discussions of cloud computing have evolved in recent years from a focus on specific types of cloud, to a world of hybrid cloud, and to a world dominated by the APIs that make today’s multi-cloud environments and hybrid clouds possible.
In this Power Panel at 17th Cloud Expo, moderated by Conference Chair Roger Strukhoff, panelists addressed the importance of customers being able to use the specific technologies they need, through environments and ecosystems that expose their APIs to make true change and transformation possible.
Getting Beyond the Software Quality Debate | @CloudExpo #BigData #IoT
Regardless of perspective, everyone agrees that ensuring high-quality software isn’t solely the job of a “QA department.” It requires the collaboration of every discipline in the software development and delivery lifecycle from the inception of business requirements to the administration of the application in production — and every point in between.
Sure, testers test, developers build, business analysts develop requirements and the service desk helps users overcome issues, but it’s the interaction of these groups that drives quality into the application. And interestingly, the interaction of these groups tends to center on development artifacts such as defects and requirements.
Opening Keynote at @CloudExpo | @ThingsExpo #BigData #IoT #M2M #API
In today’s enterprise, digital transformation represents organizational change even more so than technology change, as customer preferences and behavior drive end-to-end transformation across lines of business as well as IT. To capitalize on the ubiquitous disruption driving this transformation, companies must be able to innovate at an increasingly rapid pace.
Traditional approaches for driving innovation are now woefully inadequate for keeping up with the breadth of disruption and change facing today’s increasingly digital enterprise. It’s time to rethink how we innovate, leveraging the very turbulence that drives the business to change.
In his Opening Keynote at 17th Cloud Expo, Jason Bloomberg, leading expert on architecting agility for the enterprise and president of Intellyx, provided a thought-provoking look at how modern digital practices, including self-organization and DevOps, can provide a template for rethinking how innovation processes can continue to drive strategic value.

Sandy Carter Keynote at @CloudExpo | @Sandy_Carter @IBMcloud #IoT #M2M #InternetOfThings
Growth hacking is common for startups to make unheard-of progress in building their business. Career Hacks can help Geek Girls and those who support them (yes, that’s you too, Dad!) to excel in this typically male-dominated world.
Get ready to learn the facts:
Is there a bias against women in the tech / developer communities?
Why are women 50% of the workforce, but hold only 24% of the STEM or IT positions?
Some beginnings of what to do about it!
In her Day 2 Keynote at 17th Cloud Expo, Sandy Carter, IBM General Manager Cloud Ecosystem and Developers, and a Social Business Evangelist, will discuss why this matters, how innovation will benefit, and how to foster an interest in tech.
Learn why women need to take risks and embrace failure to give them the courage to crash through the glass ceiling. Sandy will share some of her own experiences and advice with 5 career hacks to help women get ahead, because talent is not enough.
Customer Centricity Tips for Digital Transformation | @CloudExpo #Cloud
One of the most important tenets of digital transformation is that it’s customer-driven. In fact, the only reason technology is involved at all is because today’s customers demand technology-based interactions with the companies they do business with.
It’s no surprise, therefore, that we at Intellyx agree with Patrick Maes, CTO, ANZ Bank, when he said, “the fundamental element in digital transformation is extreme customer centricity.”
So true – but note the insightful twist that Maes added to the customer-driven digital mantra: extreme.
In the context of digital transformation, then, what are some examples of customer centricity we would consider to be extreme? Here’s our take.
Why Cloud Anti-Virus Engines Are Critical in the Fight Against Malware | @CloudExpo #Cloud
The next few years could see a paradigm shift in the way anti-virus applications work. A number of businesses have started migrating from traditional desktop based anti-virus packages to «lighter» software apps that process desktop security on the cloud. At the outset, this change is not entirely apparent – end users will still require to install software on their local desktop systems. However, the processing of information is now getting ported to the cloud.
Redefining Airline-Passenger Experience | @ThingsExpo #IoT #M2M #BigData
Today air travel is a minefield of delays, hassles and customer disappointment. Airlines struggle to revitalize the experience. GE and M2Mi will demonstrate practical examples of how IoT solutions are helping airlines bring back personalization, reduce trip time and improve reliability.
In their session at @ThingsExpo, Shyam Varan Nath, Principal Architect with GE, and Dr. Sarah Cooper, M2Mi’s VP Business Development and Engineering, explored the IoT cloud-based platform technologies driving this change including privacy controls, data transparency and integration of real time context with predictive analytics.
They concluded with a look forward to tomorrow’s Smart Airports where airlines use connected baggage to predict plane fuel levels, security is ubiquitous and your seat remembers you.
