SHARE Technology companies with millions or billions in profits might donate to environmental sustainability programs or funds. If they’re keen to be doers, not just donors, they might also develop technology that changes real-world processes to negate adverse environmental impacts. The latter is the most forward-looking type of tech-for-good initiative in the area of sustainability, according to Wayne Balta (pictured, left), vice president of corporate environmental affairs and product safety at IBM Corp. The drives to control or prevent pollution through extraneous means dominated for s...

SHARE Before COVID-19, the majority of companies weren’t turning their data into gold with artificial intelligence. Today, most still have advanced AI in their imaginations more often than their information technology departments. But some did hit a few of their AI targets in one short year, and they have lessons for the more sluggish among us. Right now, live AI use cases include: customer care, employee experience, AIOps, regulatory compliance and financial planning and budgeting, according to Rob Thomas (pictured), senior vice president of software, cloud and data platform at IBM. “W...

IBM takes place as big R&D player on democratized hybrid platform SHARE Red Hat Inc. built its brand by trudging knee-deep through open-source communities so its enterprise customers didn’t have to.

SHARE There’s more to hybrid information technology than cloud and on-premises data centers. The edge is exploding; and now, “near-cloud” is wending its way into the picture. This is giving infrastructure companies, like Dell Technologies Inc., new ideas about how to develop, sell and service hardware outside of the old on-prem model.  Dell might be synonymous with the on-premises infrastructure in many people’s minds. However, it’s setting its sights afield lately to cater to customers with widely varying needs. “We’re trying to build outcomes for customers,” said Devon Ree...

Open-source software has already penetrated the enterprise. Now it’s time for it to go to school. Why add academia to the mix of end users, developers and vendors working away on projects? It will add research muscle to solving the problems of real-world, at-scale use of open-source technology, particularly large, distributed cloud-based systems. Overall, the cross-disciplinary fusion may produce desired outcomes for all stakeholders more quickly than their own efforts alone.  The open-source innovation cycle spins fast, dispensing software to organizations that might work wonders with it...
