What does the resurgence of vinyl records say about IoT? p.butler@cgi.com. Fri, 02/19/2016 - 00:03. "Digitally delivered - the one thing the business thought the consumer wanted which was convenience, but I don't think it did anything to strengthen the connection between the music and the fan. When you reduce the visual marker to a thumbnail, it's not like holding a CD let alone a 12" LP.

How do you plan a successful information management solution implementation? Well, there's a LOT to it! And there are many paths to failure. In AIIM's Electronic Records Management and Enterprise Content Management master courses , we spend four whole days discussing these concepts.

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.

The Wellcome Library, a valued user of Preservica since 2008 and one of the world’s most significant resources for medical history, and part of the Wellcome Collection, has just ingested its 20 millionth JPEG2000 image into the Preservica system – a huge landmark for the library and Digital Curator Dave Thomson who’s excitement can easily be interpreted via his energetic twitter page.

The post Should a Company Have a Soul? appeared first on John Battelle's Search Blog. Much of the Republican debates have been expendable theatrics, but I watched this weekend’s follies from South Carolina anyway. And one thing has struck me: The ads are starting to get better. This season’s debates have had the highest ratings of any recent Presidential race, and they’re attracting some serious corporate sponsorship.

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.

When Firestone entered the aviation tyre market they found themselves with a surplus of stock as at the time it was difficult to enter a market monopolised by existing suppliers.

What’s the data worth? ravi.kumarv@cgi.com. Mon, 02/15/2016 - 03:52. In my last blog I talked about the tail wagging the dog in IoT. The National Audit Office (NAO) recently announced that the Fit for Work scheme is going to cost more to implement than it will save. This shows that this problem isn't just limited to IoT, but also links nicely to the topic under discussion today, which is, how much are the insights worth?
