Time was, developers lived in a waterfall world: They would spend months working on some monolithic application, perhaps a data warehouse, before anything went into production. This meant that business value took a long time to materialize, which was problematic for numerous reasons: cost, time, market changes, personnel. Today, the most innovative companies are moving much faster than that by adopting more agile methodologies. This requires a much different approach, one that is often fueled by the new enterprise standard for designing, deploying and managing complex systems: Kubernetes!
Tune into this episode of InsideAnalysis to hear Host @eric_kavanagh interview Adam Frank, SVP of Armory, about what this all means for you and your business.
Today's successful enterprises know that data products are crucial.

Like it or not, every business is vulnerable to cyber attacks. And that vulnerability increases as hackers become more crafty. To help organizations manage this threat, researchers at SPECOPS have identified several best practices for mitigating this risk. One trick is the use of a honeypot, a program or service that's designed to mimic a production system, but is in fact a trap designed to gather information on the hackers themselves. This approach is especially valuable in this era of significant remote work.

Attendees will learn how to pick the right horses in this increasingly competitive race.
The data warehouse has been an analytics workhorse for decades for business intelligence teams. Unprecedented volumes of data, new types of data, and the need for advanced analyses like machine learning brought on the age of the data lake. Now, many companies have a data lake for data science, a data warehouse for BI, or a mishmash of both, possibly combined with a mandate to go to the cloud. The end result can be a sprawling mess, a lot of duplicated effort, a lot of missed opportunities, a lot of projects that never made it into production, and a lot of financial investment without return. As time passes, companies are finding ways to combine the strengths of these two strategies and mitigate the weaknesses, inventing whole new ways to analyze data. Machine learning, advanced analytics, the movement to the cloud – these are all changing data architectures in unexpected ways.
Consider successful data architectures from companies like Philips, Simpli.fi, and The TradeDesk

Check out this episode of Query This with Eric Kavanagh and Mark Van de Wiel of HVR Software & Michael Pickett of Talend to learn more!
Now entering its fourth decade of innovation, opensource software continues to transform the world of business. Once considered the work of hobbyists, this now-pervasive paradigm has since conquered the enterprise in deep and meaningful ways. In fact, Linux now reigns supreme over all other operating systems for industrial-grade enterprise solutions.
But Linux was just the beginning. Over the past decade in particular, opensource climbed up the ladder of functionality, addressing all things data; but also networking, and a wide range of other arenas in the expanding universe of business functionality. To wit: there are countless opensource projects now teeming all around the globe!
And one could argue that the opensource approach has even gone down the ladder, to what could be called a new foundation for business computing, or what some would characterize as the operating system for the cloud: Kubernetes. Hailing a new era of microservices architectures, this solution has already disrupted the burgeoning reality of multi-cloud.
Check out this inaugural episode of Open Enterprise to hear coast-to-coast Radio Host @eric_kavanagh as he interviews two luminaries from OpenLogic, Justin Reock and Maurice Kherlakian, about the storied history of opensource, and how this approach continues to shape the world of enterprise computing.
The kids entering the workforce today could be called the Cloud Generation or the Open Source Generation. Nearly every aspect of corporate, government and educational enterprise software designed today either uses open source or evolved from open source coding and is designed to run in a cloud or hybrid cloud environment. Isaac Newton in 1675 once said, "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants." Open Source and Open Culture of today embody that statement. One company in particular that has embraced open source and bringing open source products to the market is RedHat. In 1995 RedHat released its 1st commercially available version of Linux and they have been synonymous with Linux and Open Source ever since.
Today’s episode of InsideAnalysis Radio, Eric Kavanagh discusses Open Source and Open Culture with RedHat’s Daniel Reik, and Karena Angell. Daniel is a Sr. Director with more than 20 years of experience in the Open Source business and Karena is RedHat’s current Marketing Manager.
In this episode of InsideAnalysis, Eric Kavanagh and Dr. Robin Bloor discuss Fast Data with Chris Lawless of HVR. Data has been around since the ancient Mesopotamians began keeping track of their crop yields 7000 years ago. Throughout the ages, we have figured out ways to keep track of more & more data for analytical insights hidden within. However, never before in the history of humanity have we created and kept as much data as we have in the last decade. Indeed, we even came up with a new name to describe these terabytes and even petabytes of saved data, Big Data!
However, as more and more data builds up, our need to move, analyze and process this data as also increased. Big Data refers to the huge amounts of data that is stored and at rest; whereas Fast Data is data in motion. Often times, the best solutions can be found by improving on existing technologies. With the power of cloud computing and seemingly unlimited affordable storage, getting data from place to place isn't the issue. It's getting the right data quickly. Change, Data, Capture or CDC has been around since the days of the mainframe but has evolved and is a very efficient way to move data, taking advantage of today's technology.
In this episode of InsideAnalysis, Eric Kavanagh, Dr. Robin Bloor discuss these issues with Chris Lawless of HVR.

Imagine how excited those first automobile drivers were as they cruised down the street in their stylish Model T’s? Compared to hoofing it, or riding in a horse and carriage, this experience must have been truly awe-inspiring at the dawn of the 20th Century.
Now in the earliest stages of the 21st Century, so much has changed. But just like that massive transformation in 1908 when the Model T went public, we face a similar change in how business can be done. Somewhat suddenly, we’re seeing the automation of predictive analytics with machine learning.
A new set of technologies has emerged, sometimes referred to as Auto ML, which automate the building and management of predictive models, using all sorts of data, both internal and external. Check out this episode of #InsideAnalysis to hear from two experts, as host @eric_kavangh interviews Judah Philips of Squark, and Keith Moore of SparkCognition.
If you go by the buzz, you’ll think for sure that you need a data lake. And that may well be true. But just as mistakes were made in the world of data warehousing, so are mistakes being made in this next generation of data marshaling. The real key is to know your business, know your data, and have a good understanding for where you’re headed.
And the bottom line these days, is that a data lake can take any number of forms. It can be the go-to system of record; or it can be a way to store relatively cold data inexpensively. Either way, you’ll want some effective way to persist, access and analyze data in your lake or warehouse. And that’s what we’ll talk about today on InsideAnalysis with two experts: Neil Barton of Wherescape, and Mark Van de Weil, CTO of HVR!
Cloud computing has changed every aspect of enterprise software and data management. Companies can offload their data to a cloud and make it easily accessible to users. With hardware and storage no longer being the bottleneck of the past, companies are putting more and more of their data into the cloud which is great; however, it can be difficult to analyze your structured and unstructured data if it is scattered across the cloud in different locations, in different formats, collected at different times and on different platforms.
Eric Kavanagh talks with Tony Ayaz, CEO, and Founder of Gemini Data about how to make data accessible and available without proprietary measures or training through Zero Copy Data.
Click below to hear this fascinating and insightful interview.
How safe is data in the cloud? Arguably, the tipping point has already passed, and for lots of reasons. Major cloud vendors like Amazon, Google and Microsoft can leverage the absolutely best technologies to keep their environments safe. And they can also hire and retain the very top talent.
To learn more about this changing dynamic in enterprise data, check out today’s episode of InsideAnalysis, as host @eric_kavanagh interviews several experts, including Chris Lawless, SVP of Operations for HVR, Anton Els from dbVisit, and Kent Graziano, Chief Evangelist and Technical Advisor for Snowflake.

One would think the Internet, Facebook, Twitter, and social media, in general, would allow people to see important issues from many different perspectives. With so many different opinions from people of different backgrounds, cultures, language & countries, one would think the average social media user would easily and readily get both sides of a picture and be able to formulate a well rounded objective opinion based off of diverse data representing multiple sides of an argument. However, the reality seems to be just the opposite. Facebook & Twitter for example employ algorithms designed to keep you engaged on their sites. They want you to be logged in and using their platforms as long as possible. The social sciences, subtle propaganda & mind control techniques targeting the typical user have never been harder to detect. Basically, the algorithms look at what sites you visit and based off what it perceives you like or dislike, it adjusts what information you see. Users end up being given biased and extremely opinionated news and information that coincides with what they already believe in creating an information feedback loop of sorts resulting in a more polarized society.
A recent study on Google algorithms used in the lead-up to the 2016 election concluded that 2.5 million to 10 million voters were swayed by subliminal messaging and biased search algorithms. It is incredibly dangerous to have a private company with the power to influence that many votes in an election. however, they aren't just trying to influence your vote, the mass mind control and subliminal manipulation doesn't stop there. Facebook and Twitter’s algorithms combined with the non-stop, daily messaging by our mass media are polarizing our society and destroying the critical thinking skills of entire generations of our society.
Who you listen to, who you read, who you hang out with and talk to have a huge impact on who you are, how you will vote, what you are likely to believe and ultimately, what kind of person you will become. Today on InsideAnalysis Eric Kavanagh & Sarah Evans discuss the importance of inclusiveness in today’s digital world.

Digital transformation has been happening across the world for the last few decades as the traditional brick and mortar companies move from doing business face to face to having a virtual presence. Now, most companies offer their products and services online. The average consumer has had an online experience with one of the larger online companies; such as Facebook, Amazon or Twitter. As a result, consumers have an expectation of a certain level of excellence when using an online product or service. However, the typical business doesn't have the resources of the online giants to develop and test their applications and web services.
Fortunately, there are companies like Sauce Labs that are dedicated to providing testing environments for developers to try their apps in a real-world environment before going to market. Sauce Labs provides cloud-based testing for mobile and web applications. It offers Sauce Headless, a testing solution that provides cloud-based headless browser testing on containers.

Dr. Eric Siegiel, founder of Predictive Analytics World, discusses Predictive Analytics and Machine Learning with our very own, Eric Kavanagh, during the 1st segment of today’s InsideAnalysis.
Analytics has always been a part of business but decades past analytics is to a Ford Model T what today’s Analytics is to a Tesla model 3. Thanks to the raw power, seemingly unlimited affordable data storage, that today’s cloud computing provides, businesses are able to insights that are truly changing entire industries. Predictive Analytics is learning to predict; such as, who is most likely to lie. Machine Learning, on the other hand, is used for detection; such as, analyzing MRI scans and other medical images. Healthcare & Financial industries, in particular, have seen some of the most striking results using Predictive Analytics and Deep Learning.
Anyone interested in Predictive Analytics should consider going to this year’s conference in Las Vegas, Jun 16-20, www.predictiveanalyticsworld.com.
In the second half of today’s show, Eric discusses the Financial side of Predictive Analytics and Machine Learning with Peter Went. Peter specializes in simplifying the complex and clarifying the ambiguous.
Just as Artificial Intelligence, Neural Networks, and Machine Learning have been around for a while, so has Natural Language Processing. However, it was the evolution of cloud computing & storage that allowed these technologies to reach their potential. A decade ago, only a handful of companies possessed the computing power that is now available to everyone thanks to the evolution of cloud computing. Natural Language Processing, in particular, has made giant leaps in progress thanks to the introduction of GPU enabled cloud platforms. In addition, with the evolution of Neural Networks, Deep Learning & NLP, instead of humans learning computer languages, Computers are learning human languages.
Eric Kavanagh discusses the implications of Natural Language Processing, the Cloud and more with Jeff Huckaby of VoiceBase & Will Murphy of MessagePath.
We’ve all heard that mantra: “The customer is always right.” That’s still true today, but perhaps even more so than ever before, in part because customers can leave brands at any moment, with only the touch of a finger.
That’s the reality that today’s brands must face. Moreover, how customers interact with brands has changed irrevocably, both because of the Internet, but also because of smart devices. Any consumer-facing brand needs to appreciate that the user experience of their apps is now of critical importance; as is the need for continuous improvement.
Check out this episode of InsideAnalysis to hear host Eric Kavanagh interview Joanna Schloss of Sauce Labs, the preeminent software testing platform for the modern developer.
There have been significant changes in computer hardware and software over the last decade that have completely changed the enterprise computing environment. The most obvious change is the Cloud and the subsequent migration to the Cloud from on-premise. The Cloud provides accelerated computing via parallel processing, optimized storage & optimized memory capable of running large in-memory applications such as databases.
One of the best database management systems being used on the enterprise today is open source PostgreSQL, aka Postgres.
Eric Kavanagh just returned from SAP Ariba Live in Austin, TX where thousands of buyers & suppliers discussed the latest in supply chain & procurement business solutions using the SAP’s Ariba Network.

For the last few decades, organizations worldwide have increasingly recognized the remarkable power of data. Data warehouses became common in the 1990s, followed by sophisticated business intelligence applications. Today, data lakes represent another attractive option for companies looking to harness their data at-scale.
But there is another side to this equation: liability. Recent regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation out of the European Union, and also the California Privacy Act, are placing added pressure on companies to be responsible with their data. The steady drumbeat of data breaches only exacerbates this reality.
Check out this episode of InsideAnalysis to hear Host @eric_kavanagh interview two data experts from Experian, Erin Haselkorn and Kevin McCarthy, as they discuss the pressing question: Who owns the data?
early 27 years ago, Linus Torvalds threw down the gauntlet and began a journey that continues to transform and fundamentally shape the software world.

Find out the latest by checking out this episode of InsideAnalysis. Host Eric Kavanagh will interview several guests, including Paco Nathan, JupyterCon Co-Chair, Arturo Suarez of Rogue Wave Software, and Arpit Joshipura of the Linux Foundation.
There’s a new sheriff in town, and the rules are getting more strict. With the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the Chinese Personal Information Security Specification now in effect, compounded by individual states taking stricter stances like the recently adopted California Consumer Privacy Act, organizations must get serious about consumer privacy. In essence, the so-called “right to be forgotten” must be augmented by the right to be respected. The key to success will be to align data with business outcomes, business processes and information architecture. Well defined governance frameworks and procedures, combined with technologies such as data catalogs will be key to addressing the right to be respected and developing consumer trust. Learn more by tuning into this episode of InsideAnalysis, in which host @eric_kavangh will interview SAP visionary Maria Villar!

The scalable compute power of the cloud has placed Machine Learning in the spotlight of what’s now possible with Big Data. The evolution of cloud computing — with readily accessible and ever-increasing pools of resources such seemingly endless affordable cloud storage — has opened the door to new possibilities that would have been impossible both financially and technically to most individuals and companies just a few years ago.
But computer processors and technology only represent part of the picture. Human beings are still necessary ingredients when applying machine learning, specifically in the domain of training algorithms. Not everyone is suited to serve as a trainer, which means serious professionals must be careful who they put in charge of this critical task.
Join Eric Kavanagh on 4/9/18 @ 3:00 ET as he discusses this issue with Stu Shulman, Founder and CEO of Texifter; Luther Birdzell of OAG Analytics; Jürgen Schmidhuber, Co-Founder & Chief Scientist, NNAISENSE; and Eric Siegel, founder, Predictive Analytics World and author, “Predictive Analytics: The Power to Predict Who Will Click, Buy, Lie, or Die.”
First came the data warehouse, then the data lake. Open-source upstarts Cloudera and Hortonworks jumped on the data lake concept quickly, touting their mastery of Apache Hadoop as key to their ability to effectively build and maintain data lakes that provide business value.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the digital forum: Cloud storage underwent a major metamorphosis, with major price-performance improvements. Suddenly, a host of cloud storage vendors were challenging the status quo, throwing down the gauntlet to the early-stage leaders in the data lake game. And savvy analyst, Tony Baer of Ovum asked: “Is cloud the de facto data lake?”
