It’s Interconnect next week, the first outing for IBM’s new conference consolidating its Cloud, Mobile, DevOps and Security businesses. It will be good to find out more about the recent reorganisation at the company, and to catch up with clients. Is IBM really all in for cloud? I should know more in a week.
I am giving a couple of talks, and really looking forward to both.
Monday morning will be the first outing for a piece of work I am doing looking at tech events and Developer Engagement. I will explain why corporations should encourage their technical staff to get out from behind their laptops and start going to developer events. We will look at the advantages of hosting events, going to events, and generally getting out there from an engineering perspective. Companies from all sectors are realising that they won’t get through the transition to the digital economy without getting the best out of the best software engineers and developers. So what can the enterprise learn from Web companies about developer culture, and how to channel it?

My second session of the day examines a completely different topic – Mobile, Moats, Mainframes and Data Management. Today we’re seeing the rise of the unicorn – mobile app companies valued in the multibillion dollar range. These sky-high evaluations are not based on revenues from the mobile app itself, so much as the data being collected about how users are interacting with the network. I will examine how enterprises can benefit from similar approaches, and begin to establish their own data moats and drawbridges. Companies need to take a broad view of data assets and the transactions that underpin them, in order to compete with new highly capitalised competitors. I will be presenting with IBM’s Michael Perera again. We do a pretty good double act. You should come check us out.
