Myths, applications & impacts of quantum computing
Quantum computing (QC) is widely recognized as a transformative future technology with the potential to significantly change business and society. However, our understanding of it is bedeviled by misunderstandings and misconceptions. This Viewpoint provides a brief review of QC myths, applications, and impacts, and why companies should be taking action now to move up the learning curve.
Why effectively managing enterprise architecture is key to transformation
An organization’s enterprise architecture provides its technical IT backbone. Managing it effectively and strategically ensures that technology supports future business needs, driving innovation and efficiency while enabling transformation. However, enterprise architecture management (EAM) capabilities often do not have the level of focus and rigor required to support changing organizational requirements. This Viewpoint provides best-practice advice to transform EAM strategy and execution.
Reducing IT outsourcing risk in a volatile world
Outsourcing IT has helped organizations reduce costs and allowed them to focus more on core activities. In the process, it has created a global IT outsourcing industry, stretching from Ireland to Indonesia. However, current geopolitical instability dramatically increases risk for those outsourcing IT to countries, such as Russia, Ukraine, and China. Overcoming these challenges and retaining the outsourcing benefits therefore requires a new, more active approach to selecting partners and monitoring risk.
11 technology trends for post-crisis success
Breakthrough innovations for future competitive advantage
Digital transformation of work
Business-IT-Partnership: It’s complicated
There is no digital future without adequate information technology.In theory, IT should act as a business partner. As the central interface within the company, it connects all business operations and processes, forming the platform for digitalization. In reality, a perfect relationship between business and IT is rare.
Telecom operators: Open Innovation with start-ups
The latest start-up activity cycle represents not only an accelerated disruption to existing business models but also serves as a renewed opportunity for telecom operators to tap into growth and innovation. At the same time, operators are currently far from being the partners of choice for start-ups, but are rather seen as slow-moving, inefficient, non-decision making and ultimately non-value creating partners.
Hybrid Cloud: Built for your benefit
Today “Cloud” is a term that is present in everyone’s ears. Companies across all industries consider the new concept to profit from cost-effectiveness and operational efficiency. Yet there are essential concerns about the technology that keep many potential customers away from taking the last step towards cloud integration. However, these concerns can be dissolved using the “Hybrid Cloud”, that enables tailored solutions including sufficient security rules for proper data protection.
“Make IT Faster, Better, Cheaper”
IT units have always been under pressure, but in recent years the bar has been raised even higher. The business imperative to reduce costs, expedite time to market and increase service quality at the same time are particularly a challenge for IT organizations with heterogeneously grown environments and a resulting variety of operated infrastructure.
