A recent report by IDG showcases that while 90% of digital transformation efforts have accelerated over the last 18 months, 89% of IT leaders said these efforts are constrained by existing infrastructure (poor user experience), operations (a leader’s constant input), and culture (people don’t like change).   Let’s talk about digital transformation in the context of […]

One of the misconceptions surrounding the creation of the metaverse is that it will become a better form of the internet, and there will be just one. But there isn’t just one internet.  We have internal internets called intranets, and internet alternatives like the dark web, both of which operate outside of the general internet, […]

Thanks to the Super Bowl, the L.A. Rams are trending, and, coincidently, Cisco recently held a briefing on their IT work on SoFi Stadium.  This stadium is a standing demonstration of how to use technology to improve the fan experience. But this is also an example of how to assure the success of a large, […]

IBM is a company designed to survive market changes and the kinds of problems that stifle much of the tech industry today.  Before he left the company, Thomas Watson Jr. articulated a strategy of focusing on what IBM was at its core, while allowing every part of IBM to change rapidly as needed to adjust […]

AMD is currently doing very well, but when CTO and EVP Mark Papermaster came on board, the company was in a different position.  Papermaster, who was previously at Cisco, Apple, and IBM, could have been tentative and risk-averse in his new job at AMD. Instead, he gambled big on a full redesign of AMD’s architecture. […]

Whether you are talking about autonomous cars, drones, robots, or static advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems and supercomputers, NVIDIA is usually the one constant across those AI segments. Even IBM, which is arguably the pioneer for AI development, works with NVIDIA for their advanced solutions. NVIDIA wasn’t the first to see the opportunity for autonomous […]

While CES is an event that mostly focuses on the consumer market, over time there have been an increasing number of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics announcements during the event. One of the most interesting this year is NVIDIA’s Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) platform, which could significantly address problems companies are having with logistics, particularly […]

The latest briefing I took was on Lenovo’s VR Classroom 2. It highlights the rarer of two approaches to applying new technology to an old problem.  The most common approach is to try to emulate what it is that you are replacing. This is what most of the new collaboration companies seem to be focused […]

There is no doubt that the concept of the metaverse is being overhyped. People are talking about it as if it exists. But the truth is it is not even well-defined … yet. Yes, there are a number of small implementations that prove it as a concept, but to truly create the metaverse, we will […]

When it comes to autonomous cars, Intel is in the hunt but it’s facing strong competition from NVIDIA and Qualcomm solutions. This is due to two factors. First, even though Intel was early into the market, it lost some focus on the segment, allowing other vendors to bypass its early advancements. Second, to catch up, […]
