What is Blockchain Technology The distributed ledger technology, better known as blockchain, has the potential to eliminate huge amounts of record-keeping, save money and disrupt IT in ways not seen since the internet arrived. Blockchain is poised to change IT in much the same way open-source software did a quarter of a century ago. And in the same way that Linux took more than a decade to become a cornerstone in modern application development, Blockchain will take years to become a lower cost, more efficient way to share information between open and private networks. But the hype around this seemingly new, secure electronic ledger isRead More →

Success in the digital transformation era starts with providing the best customer experience. CIOs should use AI to redefine how businesses interact with customers. Business entities are focused on improving customer experience as that becomes one of the key differentiators for businesses moving forward. What’s critical for CIOs to understand, though, is that the focus shouldn’t be on slightly improving customer service; it should be on completely rethinking it, and that requires the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Customer service needs a rethink in the digital era Customer service today is largely reactive. An individual calls into a business’s contact center and needs to provideRead More →

Fractional CMO Mark Coronna explains how defining your digital strategy and utilizing marketing technologies will accelerate growth and opportunity. There are many ways to think about growth, and many models to help stimulate your thinking.  One of the more traditional, best known, and still effective models, is this one: For this discussion, though, I’m going to argue that this product/market model does not describe all the ways you should be thinking about growth.  In some respects, it may be constraining your thinking since it does not directly address channels or more substantial business model improvements.  When I talk about channels and business model improvements, I’m thinking primarilyRead More →

Best books you must read to be a real software developer It’s easy to learn to be a coder. But knowing how to code isn’t enough to get and keep a real job in software development   Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction, Second Edition. You learned how to code and all, but did you learn when to code and what to code? Moreover, there are a number of things that you should probably know (like why Booleans may not make great status variables). While there is some dust even on the second edition, there is gold here. The Mythical Man-Month. Most problems that will happen onRead More →

For example, in WikinomicsTapscott was the first to show how the Internet provides the first global platform for mass collaboration. Now, he writes about a profound technological shift that will change how the world does business—and everything else—using blockchain technology, which powers the digital currency Bitcoin.The Internet as we know it is great for collaboration and communication, but is deeply flawed when it comes to commerce and privacy. The new blockchain technology facilitates peer-to-peer transactions without any intermediary such as aRead More →

The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology is a 2005 non-fiction book about artificial intelligence and the future of humanity by inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil. The book builds on the ideas introduced in Kurzweil’s previous books, The Age of Intelligent Machines (1990) and The Age of Spiritual Machines (1999). This time, however, Kurzweil embraces the term the Singularity, which was popularized by Vernor Vinge in his 1993 essay “The Coming Technological Singularity” more than a decade earlier.[1] Kurzweil describes his law of accelerating returns which predicts an exponential increase in technologies like computers, genetics, nanotechnology, robotics and artificial intelligence. Once the Singularity hasRead More →
