Accenture's Technology Vision 2019 surveyed over 100 Irish business and IT executives to identify five distinct trends in digital transformation that are impacting business leaders today.
To assess the current state of digital process automation within the federal government, Accenture engaged Market Connections to survey 200 federal government executives across both defense and civilian agencies. The survey was fielded in February-March 2018. These were program leaders with mission, business or operational responsibilities for business processes and service delivery within their agency.

Technology and communications companies have an unprecedented chance to seize the IoT moment. If they place the right bets, the payoff will be enormous. If they stumble, they will likely lose millions to competitors who made wiser strategic choices.
Understandably, many technology and communications companies are looking to develop IoT platforms. That’s probably not the smartest play. The greatest opportunity may lie in developing the software and analytics capabilities in those parts of the information chain they have already mastered. By building on their strengths, they can zero in on winnable—and lucrative—pockets of value.
The numbers tell the story: 84% of C-suite executives believe they must leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve their growth objectives, yet 76% report they struggle with how to scale. With the stakes higher than ever, what can we learn from companies that are successfully scaling AI, achieving nearly 3X the return on investments and an average 32% premium on key financial valuation metrics?
To answer that question, Accenture conducted a landmark global study involving 1,500 C-suite executives from organizations across 16 industries. The aim: Help companies progress on their AI journey, from one-off AI experimentation to gaining a robust organization-wide capability that acts as a source of competitive agility and growth.

Given the breadth and pace of innovation, all signs point to a widening skills gap. This will put further pressure on organizations of all sizes to rethink their workforce strategies. While the notion of a skills gap is a seemingly straightforward concept, below the surface, there are many nuances to the story. This CompTIA research report explores these issues, setting the stage for approaches to tackling the IT skills gap.
Our annual Technology Vision report predicts the top technology trends that we believe will have the biggest impact on large enterprises.
This year, Technology for People isn’t just a theme, it’s a call to action. Business and technology leaders must actively design and direct technology to augment and amplify human capabilities – allowing us to achieve more for ourselves and the world around us. No longer are we waiting and wondering how the latest advances will change things; we’re shaping the world to fit our needs, large and small.

Accenture Finds that Vast Majority of Companies are Embracing the Journey to the Cloud but Alignment to Business Strategy Lags
Accenture’s “Cloud in the Boardroom” study found that although there’s a significant uptick in cloud adoption at the enterprise level, companies are missing the full benefit of their cloud adoptions by not factoring their IT implementations into their overall business strategy.
Accenture conducted an online survey, fielded between January and February of 2016, of 1,879 C-level executives of companies across 15 industries in 13 countries. Some key findings include:
- More than 95 percent of respondents have a five-year cloud strategy already in place, however only 38 percent have aligned these plans with overarching business goals.
- Four of five executives reported that less than half of their business functions are currently operated in public cloud, but noted increasing intent on moving more of their operations to the cloud in the coming years.
- 89 percent of respondents agree that implementing cloud strategies is a competitive advantage which allows their companies to leverage innovation through agility.
- While half of respondents cite security as their biggest concern with the public model, more than 80 percent believe public cloud security is more robust and transparent than what they’re able to provide in-house.
“Our research confirms that enterprise clients are overwhelmingly recognizing the value of a Cloud First agenda—leveraging the cloud to bring applications, infrastructure and business processes together and be delivered as-a-Service—as a driver of digital innovation, and they are upfront about the guidance they need in order to move even faster on their journey to the cloud,” said Jack Sepple, senior managing director, Accenture Cloud and Accenture Operations group technology officer. “By taking steps to align their cloud and business strategies and to involve IT more directly in cloud decision-making, companies will be better positioned on their journey to the cloud as the as-a-Service economy matures.”
A new kind of industrial revolution is upon us, as digital technologies redefine business strategy and operational execution. Executives are under pressure to innovate and make smart investments in game-changers like the Internet of Things (IoT), mobility, cloud computing and analytics. Challenges remain, such as talent issues, data security and more. And while some industries are embracing a transformation agenda – redefining core processes and creating new business models for competitive advantage – others are lagging behind. What can executives do to stay at the forefront of the digital operations revolution?

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
