Experience Management

As I woke up this morning and turned on the coffee maker, the buttons would not work. Trying the light switch, and the lights would not turn on. Sometime during the night my power went out. I realized this was the day to write about disaster recovery for Adobe Experience Manager, but in my case […]

  The Adobe Deploying and Maintaining AEM documents are an invaluable reference for the new or experienced systems administrator installing and configuring Adobe Experience Manager on premise. Despite the wealth of references, I all too often see installations that were not well thought through and result in maintenance headaches that would have been easy to […]

With the coming release of AEM 6.2, Adobe has released a number of very interesting updates to AEM’s translation feature. These features improve the user experience for AEM’s Translation functionality, making it easier to translate and manage localized content.

Last year Google introduced groundbreaking image recognition technology as part of their release of Google Photos.  Deep neural networks could identify objects, people and places inside of photographs with astonishing accuracy, completely autonomously. As fascinating as this technology is, I was certain that Google would keep it locked away inside their own products like Google Photos and Google Drive […]

Last week I was starting to design a new demonstration environment for our Search and Knowledge Discovery practice. It would simulate a search application for a high tech call center, searching across a customer support case repository. I was having difficultly coming up with a scenario that would be applicable to a wide audience and include all of the diverse features that I […]

The topic of migrating from one enterprise search platform to another has come up a few times in recent weeks because of the news discussed here. Migrations of any kind can be painful.  The new search platform will work differently, in unexpected ways, and it will take a while to fully understand those differences.  The new platform will have quirks […]

These are hundreds of sites, which are managed at a corporate level and mainained by a branch or dealer. The size and complexity in managing these sites and […]

Earlier this week I posted about a Los Angeles hospital, Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, that had lost access to their EMR (Electronic Medical Records) system due to ransomware. In this follow up article, the hospital paid the ransom to unlock their systems. The initial article stated that the criminals had demanded 9,000 bit coins which had a […]
