In today’s digital world, change is the one constant. Disruptive innovations like cloud, mobility, social media, and the Internet of Things have reshaped the market and set new standards in customer expectations. To remain competitive, businesses must tap the potential of emerging technologies and markets through the rapid release of new products and services. However, the rigid and siloed structures of traditional IT platforms and processes are slowing them down – resulting in lengthy delivery cycles and a poor customer experience.

Industrial Internet of Things By @EsmeSwartz | @ThingsExpo #IoT #M2M #API #RTC #InternetOfThings
During the last two #IoTuesday Twitter sessions, our chats have centered on what it will take to capitalize on the Internet of Things (IoT) opportunity and what the industry’s collective responsibility is to break down barriers to adoption. Topics ranged from the evolution of the Industrial Internet to consumer IoT applications to the role of APIs and API management. And underlying all of this, how we move from today’s connected devices and vertical siloes to a horizontal IoT marketplace with interconnectivity at its core. In this month’s IoT chat we will be joined by Alex Bakker and Ron Exler, from analyst firm Saugatuck Technology, to continue the discussion on the evolution of IoT, blockers and opportunities.
Leveraging the Power of Cloud in Healthcare | @CloudExpo #Cloud
One of the great challenges of cloud computing is the seemingly endless possibilities it provides.
Yes, you read that right. The perceived infiniteness of the cloud is both an asset and a challenge, especially when it comes to the healthcare industry. With its strict regulations regarding privacy (i.e., HIPAA), healthcare organizations have been timid (and slow, in comparison to other industries) to adopt cloud computing efforts.
Yet, cloud computing done right is changing the way healthcare organizations operate and facilitating many providers’ goal of delivering a patient-centric experience.
Leveraging the power of the cloud starts with choosing the right partners and tools. Implementation of cloud services doesn’t have to be an all-in scenario; in fact, there are relatively easy ways organizations can start harnessing the power of the cloud. From public, private or hybrid cloud to healthcare-specific software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications, there are options out there to consider.
IBM Brings Blue Box Cloud to Data Centers | @CloudExpo @BlueBox #Cloud
IBM’s Blue Box Cloud, powered by OpenStack, is now available in any of IBM’s globally integrated cloud data centers running SoftLayer infrastructure.
Less than 90 days after its acquisition of Blue Box, IBM has integrated its Blue Box Cloud Dedicated private-cloud-as-a-service into its broader portfolio of OpenStack® based solutions. The announcement, made today at the OpenStack Silicon Valley event, further highlights IBM’s continued support to deliver OpenStack solutions across all cloud deployment models—public, private and hybrid.
Seven Promises of the Digital Brand By @TheEbizWizard | @CloudExpo #Cloud
Brands are more than the sum of their brand elements – logos, colors, shapes, and the like. Brands are promises. Promises from a company to its customers that its products will deliver the value and experience customers expect.
Today, digital is transforming enterprises across numerous industries. As companies become software-driven organizations, their brands transform into digital brands. But if brands are promises, then what do digital brands promise – and how do those promises differ from traditional, non-digital brands?
‘Cloud First’ Lessons Learned from ViON By @Kevin_Jackson | @CloudExpo #Cloud
In 2011, then United States CIO Vivek Kundra released the US Federal Cloud Computing Strategy [1]. In the executive summary he pointed to cloud computing as a key component of the US Federal Government’s information technology modernization efforts:
“Cloud computing has the potential to play a major part in addressing these inefficiencies and improving government service delivery. The cloud computing model can significantly help agencies grappling with the need to provide highly reliable, innovative services quickly despite resource constraints.”
[session] Business Case for IoT By @EmbeddedExperts | @ThingsExpo #IoT #M2M #InternetOfThings
Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the “newest shiny object syndrome,” is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.
[session] WebRTC Reborn By @Dan_Jenkins | @ThingsExpo #RTC #IoT #M2M #Java #WebRTC
WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was.
You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.
[session] Real Time Everywhere By @NTamaskar | @ThingsExpo #RTC #IoT #M2M #WebRTC
Through WebRTC, audio and video communications are being embedded more easily than ever into applications, helping carriers, enterprises and independent software vendors deliver greater functionality to their end users. With today’s business world increasingly focused on outcomes, users’ growing calls for ease of use, and businesses craving smarter, tighter integration, what’s the next step in delivering a richer, more immersive experience?
That richer, more fully integrated experience comes about through a Communications Platform as a Service which allows for messaging, screen sharing, videoconferencing and more.
In her session at WebRTC Summit, Dr. Natasha Tamaskar, Vice President and Head of Cloud and Mobile Strategy and Ecosystem at GENBAND, will explore what’s next on the horizon and how to create amazing experiences by embedding real-time communications everywhere.
Take Page from Google Alphabet By @EsmeSwartz | @ThingsExpo #IoT #M2M #RTC #InternetOfThings
There are many parallels to Google’s move to set up Alphabet as a holding company to remain at the forefront of innovation and what is required by all companies to foster innovation in the age of the Cloud and IoT. No one will argue that Alphabet was a change Google needed to make to remain relevant, fresh and innovative across a number of product initiatives. Under the Alphabet structure, Google provides operating divisions with the freedom and accountability for making decisions all while being nimble and quick on their feet. And perhaps most importantly, keeping their most creative people engaged and well…creative and not stifled by red tape and bureaucracy.
