Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
Sharing implements in fact The Cloud Enterprise, the enterprise where most functions, bar the coordination function, are outsourced to 3rd parties in a services Cloud.
Why the EA role is changingLate last year I wrote a post on the Cutter Blog, entitled EA to Reflect On and Upgrade Its Role, as part of the Cutter predictions series. A recent comment asked said that “EA is mainly perceived as IT discipline and so far largely failed to establish Business Capability Evolution…
In psychology selective perceptive is the tendency not to notice and more quickly forget stimuli that causes emotional discomfort and contradicts our prior beliefs. We know that this tendency is very real and can be quantified since the mid 60’s however we tend only to use and notice it in relationship with branding and advertising. … Continue reading Selective Perception →
The Sharing success comes from increased satisfaction of both the client and participant. Sharing is in fact advantageous to all parties because:
The Sharing enterprise is

Ian Bogost’s “Programmers: Stop Calling Yourselves Engineers” in the Atlantic, claims “The title “engineer” is cheapened by the tech industry.” He goes on to state: When it comes to skyscrapers and bridges and power plants and elevators and the like, engineering has been, and will continue to be, managed partly by professional standards, and partly […]
Sharing is a new enterprise business model… The key Sharing differentiator today is the digital technology. Yet another impact of the digital on the enterprise. Uber and Airbnb are made possible by the two way web, network ubiquity and mobile technol…
Discourse with Dr. Barry Robson, about some thing quite bizarre in solving an unknown problem against uncertainty. Srinidhi Boray (SB) – Hey Barry Question !!! “Graphing should pave way for creating the tacit knowledge by context for a chosen hypothesis; and infinite varieties of the hypothesis is technically possible in an ecosystem” Dr. Barry Robson (BR) – Your question […]
It’s never been as important to reach outside of the business as it is in the digital world of today. From an architects perspective it is vital to be able to connect the dots between what is servicing and who is being served. This little card is designed to help you go fast by staying small and […]
I said that 2015 would be a tough year for enterprise data and analytics vendors in my spring report, “Brief: Turning Big Data Into Business Insights, 2015.” I thought two things would happen. First, open source would drag on vendors’ revenues as demand for big expensive products declined. Second, the cloud would create revenue headaches. Turns out, I was right. Teradata’s midyear earnings were down 8%, and IBM reported that Q2 revenue was down 12% from a year ago. As further proof, consider the rash of data management vendors running for private equity (e.g. Dell/EMC, Informatica, and TIBCO). It’s been tough times indeed, even though most vendors are keeping their messaging positive to reassure buyers and investors.
Over the past two weeks, I attended Teradata Partners in Anaheim and IBM Insight in Las Vegas — giving me a firsthand look at how two giants of the data and analytics industry are handling disruption. What I saw was a tale of two vendors that couldn’t be any more different:

So Twitter decided to make a change, and people have been reacting (and reacting to the reaction): As Jeff Sussna noted, there’s a reason for the reaction: In my old, pre-IT life, I’ve seen that same cavalier attitude toward change cause a real-life riot (for the record, it was a jail riot rather than a […]
It is probably true to say that every book has one major theme running through it, and probably a few sub-themes. Writing the second edition of a book is a great opportunity to revisit its primary topic to see whether it is still relevant or not. I found it really interesting to revisit the book I wrote with Elaine over ten…
