In DB2 for z/OS circles, there has been an evolution of attitudes concerning Linux on System z. Back around 2003, when I was on the user side of the DB2 community, I was part of a team charged with developing a plan for the simplification and streamlining of my company's IT infrastructure. One of the mainframers on this team had a suggestion: why not add a few IFL engines (more on this to come) to our System z servers and use those to consolidate a lot of our Linux systems (which were running pr

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

One of the things I often remind clients is that if you want to be social on the outside, you need to be social on the inside too (that's sort of a short definition of "social business" too). I'm lucky to work not just within the isolated internal collaboration domain, but across the spectrum of internal to external and back again. So, interesting to see Hootsuite release a new internal " conversations " feature: They aren't the only vendor that supports features like this of course.

Technology - not just information technology - has played a critical role in creating the modern workplace (for example, see the history of the skyscraper ). There is an interesting dynamic between physical structures, technology and how we organise - without electric lighting , modern factories and offices would be very different places.

Geopolitical risk is now at the top of the agenda for CEOs. But tracking it can be difficult. The world is more interconnected than ever, whether in terms of economics and supply chains or technology and communication. Geopolitically, however, it is becoming increasingly fragmented – threatening the operations, financial well-being, and security of globally connected companies.

Not a new piece, but I noticed a sudden surge of interest in my 2008 article, The Enterprise RSS Value Chain (also published under the title, Enterprise RSS benefits go ignored): Along the way, an important allied Web 2.0 technology has been largely neglected. This technology is Enterprise RSS and if you can understand how to harness it, the possibilities are endless.

Sorry, a bit of an accidental Salesforce theme at the moment (some big event happened last week or so I heard). Anyway, I missed this when it was first published a few months ago but I'm always looking for interesting examples of enterprise social software being used outside of the typical knowledge worker scenario (e.g white collar service industries or consulting firms).

I've been looking for this slide since I saw it presented at a Yammer event earlier in the year. Source: SlideShare. I remember thinking at the time, forget the features of Yammer itself but look at what they are actually building with their external networks. If ever email should be worried, it would be what this diagram shows. (I'm sure that regulators and risk managers are too, but that's another discussion.).
