WHY IT MATTERS: we take it for granted because 90% of the population in Canada has access to the Internet. This summary of facts about Internet adoption should make us all realize that: 1) the growth has been very fast 2) not everyone in the world has the same chance 3) newer technologies based on Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things and soon AR/VR will leverage this infrastructure to deliver even more transformation

Animal Farm is a very good book. I personally think that it’s a book for all ages. For example, little kids can read it and just think it’s a fairy tale about animals whereas, older kids will probably get the true message and understand that it’s about power.

Animal Farm does not exactly fit the ideal of a modernist novel, as it is written using traditional forms—fable, fairytale, allegory—but it does fit the first two characteristics, at least to some extent.

The American Brahman breed of cattle originated from Bos Indicus cattle. These hardy cattle were originally brought to the United Stated from India. The American Brahman was the first beef cattle breed developed in the United States. The American Brahman are for the most part the result of a cross of four different Indian cattle breeds: Gyr, Guzerat, Nelore and Krishna Valley. Best place to buy livestock online at Livestock Animal Exchange.

The American Brahman cattle originated from a nucleus of approximately 266 bulls and 22 females of several Bos indicus varieties of cattle which were imported into the United States between 1854 and 1926. The American Brahman has been used to develop numerous other U.S. Beef Breeds of cattle including Brangus, Beefmaster, Simbrah and Santa Gertrudis.

Brahman cattle are known for their extreme tolerance to heat and are widespread in tropical regions. They are resistant to insects due to their thick skin. Brahman cattle live longer than many other breeds, often producing calves at ages 15 and older. Best place to order livestock online

DropShipping is a direct to consumer retail fulfilment method where a seller does not hold stock.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: very interesting read that shows how much there is to consider for one small component of eCommerce, drop shipping. The larger point behind this post is that every feature of eCommerce solutions, from catalog, carts, payment, shipping, fulfillment, etc. are being unbundled into dedicated products. Here avasam provides services for dropshipping. This follows a larger trend of solutions as they mature: you start to see enough volume / complexity to warrant dedicated solutions.

On the other end of the spectrum, there are platforms that try to integrate as many of these components into a single, integrated solution.

10 #eCommerce platforms comparison & reviews performance, ease of use, SEO & more - very useful for #SMBs but large organizations must look elsewhere as they require customization, data & integration | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: this is a very good review of top small & medium business eCommerce solution, which can actually be a great reference for departments or BUs of large organization. IT lacks in one major area which is key for large organization: customization, data and integration to corporate systems. This is where those small SaaS solutions often fail as they deliver all-in-one solutions but fail to live well in large corporate IT environments where ERP, WMS, OMS PIM and other solutions exist and where master data often resides.

The MarTech marketplaces that RSG covers continue to evolve rapidly and have become more complex (with more overlaps!) this year. The Customer Data Platform (CDP) market is no different - with new vendors, more investment, emerging niches, and evolving use cases.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: always great insights by RSG, this one is same. The net net: CDP is a great but immature technology with too many use cases and no solution that delivers on all of them. If you have a use case that mandates a CDP, go ahead and pick the best of breed solution that suits your needs. Otherwise, wait. So true.

Listening to the webinar I could not help and wonder: who in an organization should be leading a CDP implementation? The use case scream marketing but the technology requires IT skills and expertise. When will the role of marketingTechnologist finally become a reality?...

Gartner Report on #Security Organization Dynamics shows how complex it has become to make companies secure - which begs the question "who's RESPONSIBLE when a security breach occurs?" @Gartner

Gartner Report on #Security Organization Dynamics shows how complex it has become to make companies secure - which begs the question "who's RESPONSIBLE when a security breach occurs?" @Gartner | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

The growing cyber skills shortage drives security organizations to look for ways to mitigate the pain and danger that short-staffed security teams can experience. In its report, Security Organization Dynamics, Gartner outlines this ongoing challenge and notes how, “Persistent security skills shortages have forced security leaders to explore new ways of obtaining and managing security capabilities.”

Gartner points out that hiring may not be the only option for filling the gap, cautioning that, “Few, if any, enterprises can afford to perform all security functions in-house. Consider selective outsourcing of functions, especially those that are operationalized or ad hoc.”

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: security, especially digital security and privacy, have become a central theme of digital transformation plans. Here Gartner surveys 300+ organizations to show different organizational structures for large, medium and small businesses.

My conclusion: there are too many people in charge of security, the governance is too complex and it is not clear who is RESPONSIBLE when a breach occurs...

The (not so) hidden cost of sharing code between iOS and Android

The (not so) hidden cost of sharing code between iOS and Android | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Although writing code once sounds like a great bargain, the associated overhead made the cost of this approach outweigh the benefits (which turned out to be smaller than expected anyway). In the end we no longer share mobile code via C++ (or any other non-standard way) and instead write code in the platform native languages.
In addition we want our engineers to have a delightful experience and to be able to contribute back to the community. This is why we made the decision to align our practices with industry standards.

Implement #FaceDetection in few lines of Python code shows image processing using #ML has become trivial: expect to see it in all kinds of products + expect all kinds of errors due to training data... | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Face detection is the ability of a computer program to identify and locate human faces in a digital image. Face detection is one of the most common applications of Artificial Intelligence. From camera applications in smartphones to Facebook’s tag suggestions, the use of face detection in applications is increasing every single day.

 
Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: few lines of code is all you need to do things that were considered impossible 5 years ago. With this powerful tool at their finger, expect pretty every website and system to include face detection and other image processing features to be included in the coming years. But few developers will know about the limitations of the technology, especially the biais that may exist in the training data. As in this example, you realize that the "confidence" has not been used in the example, but yet it seems to be an essential information to interpret the results. There will be many many errors due to this in the coming years before the technology really is fool proof.

The Difference between Robotic Process Automation #RPA and Artificial Intelligence #AI boils down to process-driven vs data-driven solutions HT RobertRoy @treboryor

The Difference between Robotic Process Automation #RPA and Artificial Intelligence #AI boils down to process-driven vs data-driven solutions HT RobertRoy @treboryor | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

RPA is a software robot that mimics human actions, whereas AI is the simulation of human intelligence by machines. Many people often asked about the difference between Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Some even confused the two to be the same.
To make matters worse, many vendors are now brandying about terms like Intelligent Automation (IA) or Intelligence Process Automation (IPA). For the uninitiated, all these jargon can be very confusing, and perhaps daunting. To help you out, we have put together this blog post to highlight the key differences between RPA and AI, particularly in the context of process automation.

WHY IT MATTERS: a short article that explains clearly how you can leverage automation is companies today.
