Confidential computing is a promising technology that seeks to solve one of the remaining impediments to greater cloud computing adoption and data security in general: how to protect data during processing. It also offers exciting possibilities for organizations to develop new collaborative applications.
In a recent webinar, Cutter Consortium Senior Consultant Barry M. O’Reilly introduced a new way to model systems in complex environments — residuality theory. In this Advisor, we share some questions asked at the end of the webinar about using residue as an alternative building block that enables software systems designers to consider the entire environment and its complex interdependencies without slowing down the design process, delivering benefits to both architecture and risk management practices.
Do you need a forecast of your cloud spend? In this Advisor, I investigate five cloud spend forecast methods, with their pros and cons, to help you make a choice.
An enterprise architecture (EA) practice can be best viewed and analyzed in terms of three distinct EA-related processes: (1) strategic planning, (2) initiative delivery, and (3) technology optimization. This Advisor takes a closer look at the first process: strategic planning.
Risk is not just about what we do; it is also inherent in what we don’t do. Standing still while the world moves can be as dangerous as moving out of step with real events. Architecture, too, like everything else, has risk, and it is probabilistic in nature.
During the past year, the application of technology to well-bounded problems proved its strengths in the impressively rapid R&D that delivered multiple vaccines in a previously unheard of time frame. The challenging transition from R&D and production to distribution has, however, once again proven that project and change management issues are often more challenging than product development.
This week's Cutter Edge explores the "underdog" technology trends for 2021 that are not as popular but just as important as those "celebrity" trends being touted by every research organization; why organizational culture is a vital part of effectively implementing DevSecOps; how Low-Code No-Code solutions can act as a catalyst for innovation, and more!
In this issue of Cutter Business Technology Journal (CBTJ), we explore how enabling successful digital transformations through data and digital architectures can facilitate the enablement of the value streams and customer journeys companies build to stay in touch with changing client expectations and user experiences, all while building out the organization’s digital backbone.
