I am always intrigued by technology implementations that accelerate my ability to create robust solutions, especially when they are well architected, proven to scale, and economical.  There are a couple of recent announcements from Liferay that I feel fit this description and are worth looking into:  Liferay Screens 1.0 This exciting new offering further strengthens […]

IBM delivers Mobile First in a series of Virtual Application Pattern(VAP). Mobile First VAPs are a great way to implement mission critical Infrastructure. A VAP encapsulates the details of the infrastructure topology. The details of the build out are hidden from users and administrators. Basically not much can be tampered with so failure is keep […]

While traditional B2B selling channels have remained the most influential, a combination of ubiquitous digital technologies and increasing buyer expectations have led a rapid shift towards digital B2B commerce. Pure-play retailers like Amazon are using their sizable momentum in the B2C world to double down in the B2B market. These shifts are causing B2B sellers […]

When Google announced in late February that the mobile-friendliness of web pages was going to be pushed as a ranking factor for mobile search results, the response was staggering. Media outlets that normally don’t report on SEO trends were picking up the story and plastering headlines that read something like “Mobilegeddon is coming” across the […]

I recently read an article about cell phone usage that summarized where American adults are using their smartphones most often, and how it’s affecting their day-to-day personal interactions. This information was astonishing and saddening all at the same time, reflecting these eye opening statistics: I will be the first to admit that I myself have a […]

Ng-Conf is the premier annual conference for the open source AngularJS project. It was a great conference to attend, and struck a really good balance between having fun and learning about how to effectively work with Angular.

I recently completed some proof-of-concept work for a major automotive manufacturer and I have come to the realization that the automotive manufacturer’s approach to the concept of the “Connected Car Platform” is going to run into growing pains as the pace of mobile innovation continues unabated. One of first issues I ran into was that […]

Mobile is one sticky form factor.  So sticky that many states are finding it necessary to legislate people out of using their phones while driving.  In other words, the mobile experience is so compelling that some people literally won’t put down their phones unless you make using them illegal. Meanwhile, intranets have traditionally struggled with […]

In my latest post over at CMSWire, I’ve outlined a (very plausible) scenario whereby the groundswell of user preference for mobile form factors could– and perhaps, should– spell doom for the concept of the enterprise intranet.  This is “digital transformation” writ large for employee productivity.
