Feed: Liquid Web. Author: Andrew Hartnett; First of all, what is DevOps? DevOps is short for Developer Operations and it is a newer approach that combines both development and operational tasks to automate and speed up software development practices and reduce release cycles for fast-growing companies. DevOps is built on the concept of teamwork and aims to unite teams that were traditionally kept separate and siloed, and reduces the development lifecycle for faster scalability. Once companies have decided which their business needs and objectives are, they need to start small and work towards adopting the DevOps model across the entire ... Read More

Feed: All Oracle Press Releases. I just got back from a press tour in New York, where the most common question I heard was: What's Oracle's competitive advantage in the cloud? I believe it's the completeness of our offering. Here's why. The three main components of the cloud are the application, platform, and infrastructure layers. But most enterprises don't think about the cloud in terms of these silos. They take a single, holistic view of their problems and how to solve them. Because we play in all layers of the cloud—and are continually adding integrations between the layers—we are in ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Mark Beccue. Facebook Messenger is becoming a real force in the enterprise virtual digital assistant (VDA) space as a host platform/channel. The greatly publicized number of 100,000 chatbots on the platform may be slightly misleading in terms of how Tractica defines the key enterprise use cases for chatbots. However, over the next few years, the Messenger platform is well positioned to become a significant channel for business application VDAs. Claims that Messenger is compelling for both enterprises and consumers may be a reach. Facebook reported that, as of September 2017, there were 1.3 billion monthly ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: ajit jaokar. Artificial Intelligence – Cloud and Edge implementations takes an engineering-led approach for the deployment of AI to Edge devices within the framework of the cloud. We often use the word ‘engineering’ in casual conversation. However, in this context, we attach a specific meaning to Engineering. Engineering is the use of scientific principles to design and build machines, structures, and other items, including bridges, tunnels, roads, vehicles, and buildings.

Feed: What's New. Author: Gretchen Dietrich, Emma Jekowsky. During her last year as an active duty Sailor, Katherine (Katie) Earls knew she needed to figure out what career path she wanted to take. Still, she had no idea what opportunities existed outside the Navy, and whether she was qualified for any roles that interested her. Katie only knew two things for certain: she did not want to be an electrician anymore, and she wanted to work in tech. She struggled with how to translate the work she did as an electrician in the Navy into marketable skills that she could ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Mark Beccue. Between 2008 and 2015, augmented reality (AR) was a technology gimmick looking for a market. Leveraging devices like smartphones, tablets, and, starting in 2012, smart glasses, innovators struggled with technical limitations, hype, and weak use cases. In mid-2015, the market began a time of recalibration. While the announcements about Apple’s ARKit and Google’s Android ARCore are splashy headlines, Tractica does not believe they will have significant impact in enterprise AR market adoption (explaining why is a blog post topic for another time) for some time. The most significant developments since 2015 in that ... Read More
