Technology is at the heart of nearly every enterprise, enabling new business models and strategies, and serving as the catalyst to industry convergence. Leveraging the right technology can improve business outcomes, providing intelligence and insights that help you make more informed and accurate decisions. From finding patterns in data through data science, to curating relevant insights with data analytics, to the predictive abilities and innumerable applications of AI, to solving challenging business problems with ML, NLP, and knowledge graphs, technology has brought decision-making to a more intelligent level. Keep pace with the technology trends, opportunities, applications, and real-world use cases that will move your organization closer to its transformation and business goals.
Insight
Misconceptions about the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) abound. Perhaps the most pernicious is that this vendor-neutral middleware standard, although technically viable, is irrelevant to real-world computing.
When most of us think of the Object Management Group (OMG), we think of an 800-member standards body that defines abstract specifications for middleware architectures like CORBA and its recently announced Model Driven Architecture. It certainly does those things, but it also provides a meeting ground for many industry and domain groups that are developing their own frameworks and standards.
If you read the popular business magazines, you'll find a lot of discussion about the "new economy" and whether corporate investments in IT over the course of the last five years have really led to significantly higher levels of productivity.
