The Connected Consumer: The Role of IT in the Digital Industrial Revolution

DevOps helps drive continuous collaboration with the end-customer, gaining further visibility into online and mobile application usage and its effect on the brick-and-mortar experience. The data your company can derive from this collaboration should be used to continuously validate assumptions made earlier in the development process.

Today’s empowered consumers have high expectations for the companies they do business with. They expect real-time communication, instant information, and the ability to connect in multiple ways. And they want it to be simple. A DevOps approach can help to accomplish this.

DevOps and Enterprise Mobile: An eBook from the Editors of FierceMobileIT

Mobile applications could be considered a blessing and a curse for enterprise IT.

On one hand, the smaller, more discreet functionality implied by most (though not all) mobile apps offers to help IT continue to break from its past history of monolithic applications, scope creep, and so on.

That’s something mobile has in common with DevOps – the mosh pit of development/deployment/operations that pushes companies toward automation, continuous deployment of small updates, and generally a more holisitic view of how software applications work in a business setting.

Flying High on the Use of Red Hat Enterprise Linux

When a company sells services to a consumer audience primarily through a Web user interface (UI), that Web UI had better be online and available, all the time, especially if you are an airline. Such is the real-world scenario that faces Chris Skretowski, Linux Specialist at Devon, United Kingdom–based Flybe, Europe's largest regional airline.

Product Development in the Cloud: No Cause for Concern

Companies today are faced with the challenge of a complex and hypercompetitive global market. Aggressive competition from emerging economies coupled with increasing costs in creating continued innovation make product differentiation a challenge.

Ten Strategies for Becoming an Effective CAD Leader

Successful engineering organizations have two important things in common: they know how to utilize computer-aided design (CAD) technology in ways that consistently advance productivity and instill innovation in product development, and they are led by capable managers who know how to best leverage available CAD tools. You, too, can become an effective CAD leader by taking a strategic approach to the implementation and use of CAD software and related applications.

These 10 strategies can show you how.

The Business Case for Earlier Software Defect Detection and Compliance

Regardless of the industry your business operates in, software is likely all around it. Software powers our cars, airplanes, and even the medical devices we rely on to diagnose and treat illness.

Software makes once-impossible things possible and once-difficult things easier. Software helps businesses in the oil and gas industries remove the guesswork and reduce the cost of finding new deposits; it helps patients safely and automatically inject life-saving medications like insulin.

The software we use today is more complex and more connected than ever before. The Chevy Volt electric automobile has 10 million lines of software code, which actually isn’t all that much compared to many new cars (as we’ll see later) but it’s significantly more than the 1.7 million lines of code in the F-22 Raptor fighter aircraft.

Reduce Your Open Source Security Risk: Strategies, Tactics and Tools

While there’s no doubt that open source software (OSS) is here to stay, that doesn’t mean that developers can feel free to use all and any open source software components with no thought to the vulnerabilities and security issues they may introduce into their development projects. The fact is, there’s no such thing as bulletproof, bug-free, automatically license compliant, and easily auditable software. Not in the open source world and not in the commercial off the shelf (COTS) world.
