In a world where cyber threats are becoming ubiquitous, being able to apply a specific set of international standards combined with a dedicated and worldwide certification program, is one of the best ways of ensuring long-term cyber protection of critical infrastructure.

In the context of cloud computing, big data analytics requires careful consideration of storage, integration, security, and pricing.

After a brief introduction describing cloud, fog, and edge computing, Cutter Senior Consultant Claude Baudoin provides an overview, along with his insights, of the panels and discussions at the recent Fog World Congress.

Systems that simplify and enable an autopilot mode can help in dealing with complex real-world situations, unless they lead to implicit and unquestioning trust that ends up taking relevant human intelligence out of the loop.

Almost 50% of survey respondents indicated that their organizations are interested in adopting NLP, making it third among all AI technologies organizations say they are most interested in adopting.

In this Advisor, we align the Agile leadership framework to the key players in the Scrum process.

While the name DevOps points toward a merger of the role of the developer (creating software) and operations (making software run), this is not really the case. What DevOps does is automate as much as possible the work of operation, and in a way that is comfortable and usable by developers.

This Advisor describes the first step in implementing a digital backbone: scoping. It draws on the lessons the author has learned in his work with transformational change in technology organizations.

Cutter Consortium is conducting a series of surveys on how organizations are adopting, or planning to adopt, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. We also seek to identify important issues and other considerations they are encountering or foresee encountering in their efforts. Here in Part IV, we look at survey findings concerning the various AI technologies organizations are interested in adopting.

Blockchain’s cryptographic capabilities can be applied directly to the business process, via the distributed ledger and data flow, obviating the need for third parties and ensuring privacy and confidentiality. In this Advisor, we present an example of blockchain’s use in the financial industry.

A business architecture tool provides a repository for maintaining business architecture content and the ability to generate a wide array of blueprints and reports, which are then used for purposes of analysis and communication in various business scenarios. 

In this Executive Update, we take a deeper look at the ADF and examine some of its aspects in more detail. Along the way, we illustrate the concepts of the Agile epic and story.

Among all metrics, share of wallet has evolved into the go-to financial metric for customer experience because it is a true measure — relative to alternatives — of how customers spend their money at the point of sale.

To develop an exponentially growing Lean/Agile organization that will have the capabilities to meet uncertainty/unpredictability and adaptability/maneuverability on demand, we must develop the potential of its people with a primary emphasis on designing and developing the whole organizational system(s).

This Advisor lists some career options for business architects who have successfully mastered the role and want to advance further.

The artificial intelligence (AI) technology organizations are most interested in adopting is predictive analytics, according to nearly 80% of the respondents in our ongoing survey examining the adoption and application of AI technology in the enterprise.

This Cutter Consortium white paper is primarily designed for business architecture practice leaders and business architecture practitioners. It is also helpful for executives (or any other business or IT roles) who would like to gain a more in-depth understanding of what business architecture is and is not.

Given the risk/reward tradeoff inherent in disruptive technology adoption, this Executive Update aims to identify the motives, pressures, and efforts that influence continued adoption intention and usage of a disruptive technology after the initial adoption stage.

It is crucial that good customer experience (CX) embraces change since it is a given that customers will change as they learn more and continue to engage. This implies the need for a continuous conversation with customers that is more ­­­­­of a continual interaction rather than a face-to-face conversation. It is a way of doing things rather than a thing itself.

A recent debate between two human debaters and IBM’s Project Debater effectively showed that Project Debater could interact in a human debate scenario. This Advisor examines Project Debater’s functionality.
