IBM recently released the 2012 edition of their annual Tech Trends Report. The 2012 Tech Trends Report is based on a survey of more than 1,200 professionals who make technology decisions for their organizations (22 percent IT managers, 53 percent IT practitioners and 25 percent business professionals). The respondents come from 16 different industries and […]

One pattern that I’m seeing arise more often lately is cloud applications integrating with cloud applications. As such, programmers are skipping the use of an ESB all-together, with the reasoning being, “why should I enter the trusted network only to have my request go out again?” While this maybe a valid reason, I suggest that […]

For years, our experts on various technology and solution areas have been blogging about Oracle news and applications. As an Oracle Platinum Partner, we are excited to announce that we now have an Oracle Technologies blog here at Perficient, where our team will continue to share their perspectives as they map business processes against Oracle […]

Author: Suzanne George It is the end of day 1 at the SharePoint conference and one could write a book about all the new / coming changes with SharePoint 2013.  I have taken pages of notes, met with many people, and learned about many of the new features Microsoft is bringing us with SharePoint 2013. […]

Just returning from IBM’s Information On-Demand 2012 conference in Vegas last week, where there were just as many new questions created as ones that were answered. Among the usual Vegas question like; What happened to my money and Where am I, were some new ones. Most common was; What is Big Data? So it appears […]

Information management (IM) is the collection and management of information from one or more sources and the distribution of that information to one or more audiences. This may involve the key stakeholders owning and using that information. Management means the organization of and control over the planning, structure and organization, controlling, processing, evaluating and reporting […]

So CRN had an article about Amazon Web Services going down this past Monday.  While that is certainly news, especially to a small number of people, I want to focus on total impact rather than the big scary word called outage.  Our reality in the cloud is that high availability cannot be achieved in the […]

I was following some of the live tweets from technology professionals attending Gartner Symposium/ITxpo in Orlando today. Much of the discussion at the event is around helping CIO’s and IT leaders focus their attention on growth, cost reduction and competitive advantage – all while filtering out the noise around disruptive technologies like cloud, social, mobile […]

IBM’s IOD conference has become one of those annual traditions that marks a milestone in the year for our IBM partnership. Maybe it’s because of the time of year or just the amount of effort that goes into the conference by both Perficient and IBM, but each year we’re reminded introspectively of just how much […]

Among many excellent sessions at this year’s SharePoint Fest Chicago, Perficient colleague and Microsoft MVP David Greve presented “Office 365 Integration Options.” As Director of Office 365 at Perficient, and co-author of “Microsoft Office 365: Exchange Online Implementation and Migration,” David has a wealth of knowledge and experience around Office 365, and he shared that […]

So Amazon is definitely up to something.  I noted yesterday  that AWS offers free database access and now Amazon is touting something almost every enterprise site needs with a Sign Sign On (SSO) and Identity Management service.  Jack McCarthy of CRN has an article about the new service in the AWS Marketplace.  Clearly Amazon is […]

I found the CRN article describing Amazon’s adding their Relational Database Services to its Free Usage Tier.    What I find interesting is that when AWS became a household name (OK, industry wide name)  about two years ago, my first thought was that vendors like IBM, Oracle, JBoss, and Liferay ought to just add the db […]
