CMOs will drive marketing technology spending to $32.3B by 2018, reaching a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.4%. From 2014 to 2018, marketing technology spending will reach $130B for the 5 year period. These and other insights are from IDC’s recent webinar The Marketing Software Revolution: Strategies for Buyers and Sellers, [...]

IDC research maps all the technologies that support digital marketing today. WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT CMOs compete more and more with CIOs for technology direction and spend, a trend that keeps growing. It raises the questions: who's in charge of technology in large organizations, marketing or IT?

Google Now looks like Google's most magical, artificially intelligent
Farid Mheir's insight:
Behind "intelligent" solutions there are lots of hand crafted manual inputs. WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT If you invest enough money (Google is rumoured to spend 2B$ a year to manually edit its maps), you can make a physical representation of the world that computers can then use to provide valuable insight: driving directions, translation, music recommendation, etc. that all appear "intelligent". What can you do in a company to achieve the same result? Map out your warehouses so that autonomous vehicles can navigate their aisle autonomously? Yes. Codify all the tasks that your manufacturing resources do so as to make recommendations in real-time? Yes. You just have to have a business model to warrant the investment.

From a 9$ computer to a cell phone that does just calls, this is a quick review of crowfunded projects on kickstarter. WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT Crowdfunding may help revolutionize how fast new technologies get introduced to market and democratized. If a small bunch of guys in 1975 California HomeBrew club got to revolutionize the world by creating the home computer industry (it is where Apple computer got first introduced), technology crowfunding may allow do-it-yourselvers with a similar opportunity.

People have been predicting wearables would be the next big thing for about as long as I've been involved in technology, but this time they might be right.
Farid Mheir's insight:
Been waiting for this to emerge for a while given the intensity of interest around wearables and internet of things. WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF BUSINESS? In the wearable space, I guess what you want to wear are the sensors, not the processing gear. So being able to create cheap custom sensors allows businesses to gather more information about the environment their products and people go through, then analyze it remotely to make decisions. This is a possible component towards that goal.

Standard software would appear to be an imperative for insurers, but the time and money required to make the change are limited. The software-vendor market is emerging, but the track record is scanty. Standardization is not a panacea, of course, and every insurer has to find its own way through this rocky terrain, but core-system-replacement lessons from the manufacturing and production industries could make the journey shorter and significantly reduce the risks.
Farid Mheir's insight:
For my friends in the insurance industry that are making the transition to packaged software, they may find confort in the following paper from McKinsey. The lessons learned and the 5 principles they highlight are good but do not provide a silver bullet or quick fix: you are in for a long and difficult transformation. Sorry...

Outfits like code.org and Black Girls Code help, and so do some employers: Google’s Made with Code aims to bring women into the field, while payments company Square offers high school code camps. Intel just last week pledged $5 million for computer science programs at two high schools in Oakland, California.
Farid Mheir's insight:
How can students learn to code when their teacher are often clueless about it and software professionals - in high demand - make much much more as developers of games and 0.99$ ipad apps...? Lately resources are starting to appear - see some in the article. Why is this important? IMHO learning to code is important because it teaches about structure and procedures and thinking through every possible scenario. It is a way of life, more than a technical skill. No?

DevOps is just getting started. DevOps emerged from an effort by businesses to respond more rapidly to market changes. The new approach was designed to ensure that high-quality updated software gets into the hands of users more quickly. Continuous delivery requires that everyone—from developers to testers to employees in user experience, product and operations—collaborate effectively throughout the delivery process, using multiple feedback loops. Here are some highlights in the short and eventful history of DevOps.

Not everyone has a mobile phone when they shop groceries but everyone pushes a cart. So having a connected cart - especially if it costs only 7.60$ to retrofit - makes perfect sense, no?
