Over the last few years, under the stewardship of Susan Scrupski (who has just recently started a new role with 7 Summits ), the Social Business Council (previously known as the 2.0 Adoption Council) have released some interesting case studies and field data from large enterprises who have actively embarked on implementing Web 2.0 and social software internally.

I'm in Las Vegas this week for the IBM Information on Demand 2012 conference. At this year's IOD event I've particularly enjoyed learning more about DB2 11 for z/OS , the beta program for which is expected to begin in March of 2013. DB2 11 will deliver a lot in the way of new features and capabilities. One of the big news items here is the extended RBA that will be available in DB2 11 systems running in new-function mode (the RBA, or relative byte address, is an identifier for records written by

On October 15, 2012, the Singapore Parliament passed the Personal Data Protection Act 2012. Though a law has been under discussion for quite some time, this bill was introduced before Parliament only recently, in September of this year. The new law will apply only to data processing in the private sector as data processing by public agencies (or organizations acting on behalf of public agencies) are already subject to internal government rules.

Could you run your intranet on a cloud-based solution like Google or Salesforce ? Google Sites is designed to host web content, so that's actually not so much of a stretch and some companies are already using it as an intranet. On a LinkedIn discussion, Darko Jaksic has recently argued that Google Sites, when combined with other features in Google Apps, is under appreciated as an powerful but easy to configure intranet platform.

If your answer to the question posed in the title of this blog entry is, "In a PORT reservation statement in our z/OS LPAR's TCP/IP profile data set," that's NOT what I want to hear. It's true that for a long time this was the standard way to assign an IP address to a DB2 for z/OS subsystem, and it would look something like this: PORT 446 TCP DBP1DIST BIND 111.222.333.444 ; DRDA SQL PORT FOR DBP1 This was the way to go because DB2 didn't give you much of a choice in this regard.

Even as the Era of "Big Data" engulfs life sciences and researchers rush to wring immediate value from the electronic data deluge, the long-term archiving of this valuable asset is unfortunately, widely neglected. Few industries face a more daunting data management challenge. The size of datasets is numbing, the diversity of data types is bewildering, the technologies used to produce and analyse the data are advancing so rapidly that coping with obsolescence is becoming a more urgent challenge.

Large enterprises face unique challenges in optimizing their Business Intelligence (BI) output due to the sheer scale and complexity of their operations. Unlike smaller organizations, where basic BI features and simple dashboards might suffice, enterprises must manage vast amounts of data from diverse sources. What are the top modern BI use cases for enterprise businesses to help you get a leg up on the competition?

This video of Kai Riemer , from the University of Sydney, is a great introduction to enterprise microblogging and the emergent properties of enterprise social software. His presentation is based on his research into how people are using Yammer in large companies. However, this isn't a recipe - the big take away for me from his research is that different organisations use enterprise social software differently and the importance of identifying bottom-up use cases.
