The Internet and mobile devices have brought us wonderful conveniences but also significant challenges. Paper-based IDs are no longer suited for this world.
The healthcare industry is entering a world of great opportunity and tremendous risk. Intermountain is using innovative technology to improve care and secure systems.
Cloud services come in different shapes and sizes. Lately, many organizations are turning to hybrid solutions and infrastructure models that can be tailored to specific needs.
3D printing sounds like something straight out of science fiction, but the idea that you can use a computer to quickly create complex objects seemingly out of thin air is a reality.
Consumerization of IT is sweeping the enterprise. Personal smartphones, tablets, laptops, social media and more are stealthily infiltrating companies worldwide.
Now it’s widely assumed that the next technology to be “consumerized” will be cloud services. Many industry analysts now forecast that the consumer cloud — the kind of popular, low-cost service offered by Amazon, Rackspace and others — will be to cloud services what the iPhone was to mobile devices.
Cloud computing has become a key part of an IT leader’s toolkit. Many organizations use cloud for various reasons. It’s critical to select the appropriate cloud model.
At H. D. Smith, a pharmaceutical distributor, the cloud is not a choice, but an imperative. CIO David Guzman, discusses why cloud computing offers compelling economics and capabilities.
While flying cars may still be out of reach, cloud computing, mobile broadband, location-awareness and big data technologies are bringing the car of the future to market today.
Cloud computing is without question the most important IT development in recent memory. We expect to see several new and dramatic cloud-computing developments this year.
Lately, it’s getting hard to put enough zeros on numbers that quantify the volume of data our wired world generates. Current research estimates that our Facebook “likes,” Instagram photos, YouTube videos and blog entries contribute to some 2.5 billion gigabytes of data generated every 24 hours.
Much of the daily torrent of newly minted information is unseen. In addition to tweets, pics and status updates, a deluge of data generated by RFID readers, sensor networks, logs and countless other auto-reporting systems fills vast data pools.
That’s Big Data.
The effective use of business intelligence gives companies a competitive advantage. Delivering timely information to decision makers can be accomplished with a well-designed BI dashboard.
The growth of the IT industry has been driven by the “T” in IT. New technologies have captured most of the public’s imagination. That dynamic is changing.
Customer intelligence is just one example of big data’s value. As the technology evolves, big data is expected to accelerate a number of important trends in 2013.
In winning the 2012 presidential election, the Obama campaign successfully employed big data analytics to influence people and get them to vote.
Many organizations face a dilemma: The number of cyberattacks against their IT assets continues to grow, while their IT budgets continue to remain flat. Unable to add significant resources to combat the attacks, they’re looking to managed security services as a way to get more bang for their buck.
Companies in the United States lose about $114 billion a year from cybercrime — and that number is more like $338 billion when you factor in the costs of downtime caused by cybercrime, according to Gen. Keith Alexander, director of the National Security Agency and commander of the U.S. Cyber Command. As reported by Foreign Policy magazine last year, Alexander called the losses “the greatest transfer of wealth in history.”
The associated challenges of securing enterprise data, keeping data private and protecting intellectual property may seem daunting. But fasten your seatbelts in 2013.
The need for strong cybersecurity on industrial control systems is great. These systems — vital to the chemical, electrical, water and other industries — are increasingly under attack.
Cybercrime and data breaches are among the most commonly cited worries keeping healthcare CIOs awake at night.
The growing frequency of cybercrime is top-of-mind for U.S. officials. Samuel Visner, executive vice president and general manager of cybersecurity at CSC, explains why.
Insurance products are relatively complex and labor intensive to administer, creating challenges for back-end systems and processes. Further, the insurance sector has undergone decades of mergers and acquisitions, leaving most major players saddled with complex application portfolios and aging legacy systems.
Faced with increasing competition and demands from consumers and agents for online and mobile services, insurers are rethinking their organizations, processes and technology to tackle large-scale modernization programs.
CSC is helping the world’s leading insurers find the best path — whether that involves replacing legacy systems or moving to a new operational model based on Business Process as a Service (BPaaS).
The rapid adoption of smart mobile devices has redefined industries and spawned new ones in just a few short years. That sudden shift is also causing companies to rethink strategies for application development.
A new CSC Leading Edge Forum study, titled “Beware of Geeks Bearing Gifts: Strategies for an Increasingly Open Economy,” points to a trend that has grown remarkably in size and influence from its inception in the early 1990s.
In Australia, a private, not-for-profit health service is streamlining access to multiple hospital information systems for clinicians via a single, mobile interface.
In France, a CSC-designed custom-application system enables train drivers to use a smartphone to perform essential tasks such as checking planned routes, driving trains and filing daily reports.
