The Blog Site: A SharePoint Intranet’s Secret Weapon
No less than Bono once told a UK music monthly, “The blogosphere can put you off democracy. Use it sparingly.” Substitute “enterprise social networks” for “democracy” and you’ll find that statement to be a fairly accurate assessment of the way many companies view the concept of enterprise social, and within that, the subset that is […]

Digital Asset Management in IBM Digital Experience

This article discussed the need for a longitudinal view of patients using data from the Electronic Medical Record (EMR). Healthcare providers are making better data decisions through uses of EMR technology, but there is more than a “query” involved! Now […]
The “Big” Debate: Classifying Data for Better Decision Making
