To combat this, payment processors need to take […]
Legendary Help: Providing access to food resources
Access to food is vital to communities across the globe. People rely on grocery stores and restaurants, and they assume that they will have a consistent ability to get the products they need. That’s why food distribution companies need to be dependable and need to run 100 percent of the time. For one Rocket client […]
Legendary Help: Feeding communities in need
Access to food is one of the most important things for any community. Unfortunately, food deserts exist across the U.S., where low-income neighborhoods do not have access to a supermarket.

Healthy data governance makes for healthy patients
This week, I am in India to attend the 2018 Great Indian Developer Summit.

Computing, Data and Insight… at the Edge?
After some hesitation, I finally embraced Apple’s wearable platform by pairing an Apple Watch with my iPhone. The Apple Watch generates a continuous stream of health data that is stored locally on my iPhone. From a cloud perspective, my health data is therefore stored “at the edge” which is, out of privacy concerns, the only […]

But is that disruption really a threat or should it be considered an opportunity instead? Hello data driven disruption! Traditional examples of innovative disruption talk about new physical […]
Live from IBM World of Watson: the cognitive Internet of Things (IoT)
Artificial intelligence and cognitive computing have only recently become a reality for the mass market due to a combination of two things–increased, low-cost computing power and an explosion of data. If you’ve been keeping up with the trends over the past five years, it’s not hard to guess where much of that data is coming […]
And the Oscar goes to…data virtualization
Recognition has been a long-time coming for data virtualization. As a technology, it has been something of a pre-adolescent, the child actor who couldn’t make the transition to adult roles.
