Cloud computing and the return of the platform wars | Enterprise Web 2.0 | ZDNet.com. Cloud computing is arriving on the scene in a big way this year and the next platform wars have begun. Sun's move to offer service using Amazon's APIs shows that there is some early coalescing around de facto interoperability. The big question is whether businesses will go after what is sizing up to be a $42 billion dollar industry by 2012.

Last week, Burton Group analyst Lori Rowland wrote about how the weakened economy has been good for identity management technologies. I agree with Lori – the churn created by the recession has heightened the need for companies to proactively manage risk associated with user access controls. Compliance and identity governance are more important than ever.

Large enterprises face unique challenges in optimizing their Business Intelligence (BI) output due to the sheer scale and complexity of their operations. Unlike smaller organizations, where basic BI features and simple dashboards might suffice, enterprises must manage vast amounts of data from diverse sources. What are the top modern BI use cases for enterprise businesses to help you get a leg up on the competition?

Looks like asynchronous messaging is becoming quite a common paradigm of distribution in Web applications and large Web sites. The general theory is to do the absolutely essential user requirement stuff as part of the synchronous HTTP request/response cycle. And delegate the rest offline for the asynchronous queuing service to process. This leads to faster page reloads, optimal resource utilization and much better user experience.

Recently, an iGoogle “quote of the day” made me stop and think. Usually, I read the quotes, smirk, and move on. But this one was different: Technology is dominated by two types of people: those who understand what they do not manage, and those who manage what they do not understand. — Archibald Putt (a pseudonym). It turns out this quote is known as Putt’s Law and was first published in Research/Development magazine in 1976 (yes, before my time in high tech).

"Next day we were in a kind of tongue-in-check debate provocatively entitled Are macros a menace?

The last piece of the Agile PMO puzzle is to make the data needs of the PMO non-burdensome to delivery teams. It’s all well and good to be able to get quality and performance data, but it has to be easily accessible. If it isn't, we're just taxing the teams that much more. That means we won't get this data timely or efficiently, if at all.

A while back, I received a distressed email from Ken, a young manager at a high-tech company. Ken and I had never met, but he had read my first two books and had done his best to apply the ideas and practices of Extreme Leadership to the way he’d led his team. To their culture, their work ethic, their camaraderie. When necessary, Ken told me, they would band together and work hard–10 to 20 hours a day at times–to solve a problem or meet a pressing need.

Haskell is pervasively lazy, lazy-by-default, unless otherwise forced to be strict. Now this is a big change from where I am coming. Java, well, nothing lazy to write home about. There are some constructs that are lazy by default, but does not support any user defined operation to be lazy. Scala offers a call by name semantics along with a nice syntactic sugar that allows creation of user defined control structures that look like built-in ones.

For a good number of years, both Knowledge Management and Learning have always been associated with one another and overlapping quite a bit. Plenty of organisations are eventually using terms like Learning & Knowledge to refer to that process of knowledge sharing and collaborating; and, in a way, with the emergence of social software within the corporate environment, I am sure we will be seeing both disciplines come together even more!
