Twitter Bootstrap and Adobe CQ5.5

In doing some research into Adobe CQ5.5, I came across an interesting article that sent me into a new research mission today.  (Whenever I see something new, I just have to research it right then and there.) So I came across this link in Google:  TWITTER BOOTSTRAP FOR ADOBE CQ5.5.  I had no idea what […]

Where is Oracle BI with Mobility?

It’s safe to concede that “appifications” in the mobile space (thanks to Apple’s world of Apps!) are driving trends and innovations in the BI marketplace.  Per Gartner (surveyed 1,364 organizations that use BI tools), here is a summary of the key Mobile BI statistics that have the potential of dramatically changing the experience of every […]

More on SAP HANA vs. Oracle Exalytics

Clearly, there is a lot of hype surrounding SAP HANA and Oracle Exalytics.  They are both in-memory products, and although Exalytics is somewhat newer, HANA has only been generally available for about a year itself.  So, we don’t know what either might eventually become, or what newer releases might later bring, and yet there hasn’t […]

“What is MDM?” – Video Overviews

Today we are going to look at a widely used acronym in business intelligence called MDM, or Master Data Management. Sure you have heard it before, but it is often tossed in with a series of other acronyms without much context. So what is MDM in a practical context?

Personas in the spotlight: Are celebrity photos appropriate?

So it would make sense to consider using them for personas, however in most cases this is a poor choice. I’ll use Matt LeBlanc as an example. Matt played Joey Tribbiani on […]

Can Liferay Portal Scale?

Since we work with several different portal products, I’m often asked about the performance of Liferay portal when it comes to scalability.  I think most people who ask this question are under the impression that the big players (IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, Adobe, etc) do scale very well.  Indeed those vendors do spend a good amount […]

Using Spring Portlet MVC framework in WebSphere Portal

Spring provides a flexible Portlet MVC framework. By using it in our WebSphere portal application development, we benefited not only from the Portlet MVC framework itself, but also from other features such as IoC supported by Spring. In this post I would like to share a problem we faced when integrating Spring Portlet MVC framework […]

De-Identification of Protected Health Information

According to US Department of Health & Human Services – The Privacy Rule protects all “individually identifiable health information” held or transmitted by a covered entity or its business associate, in any form or media, whether electronic, paper, or oral. This information is called “protected health information (PHI).” Healthcare data has a great value for […]

Oracle’s Perspective on Exalytics vs. SAP Hana

There will naturally be judgments and comparisons made between Oracle’s Exalytics and SAP Hana. This blog is going to present Oracle’s claimed advantages of their Exalytics solution.  Keep in mind that the points put forth here are purely from Oracle’s perspective,   I will then be producing a follow-up blog that tries to take a more […]

What’s a Twitter Firehose, Anyhow?

Ta-da! Salesforce and Twitter have announced their global alliance. This agreement enables Salesforce’s customers real time access of the (more than) 400 million public tweets generated daily and builds on a three year relationship between these social powerhouses. But what’s this got to do with your business (you may be asking)? Good question! Why is […]
