Finding and leveraging the right data is key to achieving strategic advantage. Creating a data supermarket of usable data can help businesses make critical decisions, and a system called cataloging makes this data supermarket possible. This Advisor explores how cataloging enables the connection of different elements of a data pipeline to provide a more orderly and efficient management of data, especially as the volume and variety of data increases.
More than a decade ago, Cutter Consortium introduced the concept of green IT in an Executive Report and outlined IT’s role in creating a sustainable environment. The topic has become all the more important and relevant today. In this Report, we provide an updated, holistic view of greening IT and how we can — and should — embrace IT to address the environmental challenges we face.
The accompanying Executive Report, an update to a previous Report, outlines IT’s environmental impacts, discusses three key facets of green IT, and shows how we can go green with our IT systems and applications. The Report highlights opportunities for IT-enabled solutions and assistance to better sustain and manage our environment and presents useful insights to help make smart green IT decisions.
In Part II of this Executive Update series on business architecture and sustainability, we detail business architecture’s role in transitioning to the circular economy while concurrently delivering related business strategies that include opening up new markets and new revenue streams.
In this on-demand webinar presented by Dan Sturtevant, you will learn how to decide to move forward with a legacy system based on technical, financial, and risk considerations implicit in the technical health of the software asset; methods to systematically drive architectural improvement and technical transformation of legacy systems; how to identify, evaluate, and remediate hidden modernization blockers within the software asset’s architecture; and more.
Nonfunctional requirements is an overly simplistic view of hyperliminal coupling that arises from transposing the idea of functional requirements and contract certainty to the hyperliminal reality of a system’s behavior in its environment. If we let go of the idea of nonfunctional requirements and focus instead on hyperliminal coupling, we have a greater chance of actually building something that can respond to its environment, as is explored in this Advisor.
The application of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), are increasingly being used to detect wildfires before they grow out of control, predict a wildfire's path, and assess the risk and potential damage caused by wildfires. This Advisor explores the application of AI and machine learning technologies to mitigate the impact of wildfires.
As the pandemic unwinds, what lasting lessons can companies carry from the moments of “What now?” to successfully respond to “What’s next?” What makes the journey toward AI ethics so difficult? Get answers to these questions and more in this issue of The Cutter Edge.
