IT Next Generation Strategies Blog Post Launched

Last week, during the lunch meeting, I was talking to Greg (IT director of a manufacturing major) on different IT management strategies in the manufacturing sector. Slowly Greg started explaining his challenges in meeting the business expectation of maintaining optimal IT service while balancing the current outdated technical landscape. One of his biggest concern was on the increasing cost of total ownership which is getting compounded due to rapidly changing IT technologies. Frankly, this is not just Greg's challenge but this is the challenge of every IT manager.

Discussing this topic in the evening with my colleague we decided to launch a blog on this areas so that we can share our experiences and ideas with like other in this industry. This gave birth to IT Next Gen a blog on the future of IT and different strategies for the technical managers which will help them keeping themselves flexible to the rapid changes while meeting the business expectations

Just Buzz... Where is AI?

Speaking to Recode’s Kara Swisher and MSNBC’s Ari Melber, Pichai said AI is “one of the most important things that humanity is working on. It’s more profound than, I don’t know, electricity or fire,” adding that people learned to harness fire for the benefits of humanity, but also needed to overcome its downsides, too. Pichai also said that AI could be used to help solve climate change issues, or to cure cancer. We are seeing some exciting things in the industry, Samsung’s massive 8K TVs apparently use AI to upscale lower resolution images for the big screen. Sony has created a new version of the Aibo robot dog, which this time promises more artificial intelligence. Travelmate’s robot suitcase will use AI to drive around and follow its owner wherever they go. Kohler has invented Numi, a toilet that has Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant built in etc., But despite all this, it does leave me wondering: is artificial intelligence really what we should be calling this revolution?...

Evolving App Paradigm

Over last two decades we have seen enterprise application landscape changing very rapidly with rapidly evolving technology stacks and changing industry dynamics. It is time for another paradigm shift in terms of how we conceptualize, design, develop, test and maintain our applications to meet volatile business requirements. Some of the prime features of this evolving paradigm Flexible business user centric infrastructure (than IT centric) IT as a service model with emphasis on user self service. Flexible development and deployment infrastructure which is readily available over cloud (no setup time, no high budgets and initial spending) Develop application using modern development languages which help improve the developer Usage of more dynamic meta programming languages Reusable assets, code generators, ... Build once and run anywhere across platforms and devices End-to-End application lifecycle integration through ALM and DevOps Improve communication and collaborat...

AI gets smarter and more practical

We all know AI is coming to the forefront of technology in the form of machine learning (ML) and deep neural networks, where AI can understand the surroundings and apply that information to the current context, whether it is about data pattern analysis or driving a vehicle. Coupled with increasing capabilities of AI hardware, in 2018 we can expect: AI research will reach new heights in the fields of neural networks and generative adversarial networks. Cooperative learning among networks will lead to hybrid intelligence. Continuous evolution of AI will empower enterprise-scale business processes with intelligence and agility. AI will redefine the IT landscape with smart machines and borg systems. Read the complete article on DXC technology trends for 2018
