Top Seven Priorities for IT in 2015 Joe Tucci has been running EMC for around 15 years, or about the same time Carly Fiorina would have been running HP had she stayed with the company.

Top 10 Technology Trends for 2015 My first impressions of Microsoft Build 2015 were that the firm was now focused back on developers and had largely returned to its roots. Microsoft had segmented into efforts focused on the intelligent cloud, on Office as a platform again, and on Windows 10, which is unlike any version […]

Developing Tech: What’s Next? Microsoft Build 2015, which started officially today, is the beginning of the rollout of Windows 10, but it is far more than that; it is the first real showcase for CEO Satya Nadella’s Microsoft.

For instance, I drive two Jaguars; the older […]

Eight Critical Factors for Business Success NVIDIA has announced that the International Trade Commission (ITC) has ruled in its favor in one of the opening battles in its patent dispute with Qualcomm and Samsung. I’m familiar with the legal team the company is using and it is strong, which offsets somewhat NVIDIA’s lack of litigation […]

Capitalizing on Big Data: Analytics with a Purpose In the presidential wins over the last two terms, analytics played a key role in the outcome. While some may believe that Google went farther than it should to assure that its candidate won, what was very clear was that the President fielded a competitively huge team […]

The Impact of Mobility on the Enterprise In technology, the rule of threes says that the third version of a product is the one that really establishes whether a market exists for it.

Top Seven Priorities for IT in 2015 In chips, four big players are each on very different paths to success in the market. Gone are the days when Intel led and everyone else struggled to follow. Now each of the major competitors is on its own unique path. It isn’t just x86 and ARM either. […]
