This document discusses the rise of the "as-a-Service" model and its implications. Key points:
1) The services sector has grown significantly as economies develop, similar to how enterprise IT is shifting from buying raw materials to consuming standardized, subscription-based services.
2) This represents both opportunities and disruptions for IT providers and consumers as platforms, skills, suppliers, and relationships change.
3) Characteristics of the "as-a-Service" model include subscription pricing, standardized/updated features, multi-tenant architectures, APIs, and online communities.
4) Drivers include technology innovations, cost pressures, and frustration with traditional IT projects - leading most vendors to invest in the

The cloud computing market is growing rapidly, and the latest Gartner Hype Cycle shows that the hype around it has recently transformed into reality. In fact, eighty percent of Fortune 1000 companies are adopting cloud-operating models.
Cloud has significant implications on many roles within an organization and on IT service management. These implications on service management are increasing the discussions around the application and relevance of ITIL in cloud environments.
Organizations and professionals are looking to:
Develop cloud competencies to adopt cloud computing
Understand how cloud computing impacts service management
Adapt the ITIL framework to fit a cloud environment
Have a look and examine whether this can be a successful marriage or if a prenuptial agreement is required!
Urban innovation - changing the way we work - reducing carbon footprint - social innovation - mobile knowledge workers meet nomads - elderly meet youth - education meets business - sharing experience and knowledge in a social conducive state-of-the-art environment - news ways of collaboration

A Strategic View of Enterprise Reporting and Analytics: The Data FunnelInside Analysis
The Briefing Room with Colin White and Jaspersoft
Slides from the Live Webcast on June 12, 2012
As the corporate appetite for analytics and reporting grows, companies must find a way to secure a strategic view of their information architecture. End users with varying degrees of expertise need a wide range of data and reports delivered in a timely fashion. As the audience for analytics expands, that puts pressure on IT infrastructure and staff. And now with the promise of Hadoop and MapReduce, the organization's desire for business insight becomes even more significant.
In this episode of The Briefing Room, veteran Analyst Colin White of BI Research will explain the value of being strategic with enterprise reporting. White will be briefed by Karl Van den Bergh of Jaspersoft, who will tout his company's “data funnel” concept, which is designed to strategically manage an organization's information architecture. By aligning information assets along this funnel, IT can effectively address the spectrum of analytical needs – from simple reporting to complex, ad hoc analysis – without over-taxing personnel and system resources.
We describe the market forces driving changes in the role of IT and the CIO. These forces include: Cloud Service; Outsourcing; and business acquisition of technology-based services. We predict the emerging role of IT as a broker of Business Services as well as IT Services. A new Business Services function will source services both internally and externally, enabling a broad market perspective on industry best practices and a greater focus on value and innovation. This will enable CIOs to shift their attention from Technology Managers to Service Brokers and possibly Chief Innovation Officers.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
