#IdentityManagement and #IoT Coming Soon to You!

I just came back from a very successful trip to #Gartner and their Identity Management Summit. As a rockstar consultant, I am used to the throngs of people that gather for my pearls of wisdom. However, this year the crowds were out of control. I coupled the summit with a book signing as well and sold thousands of copies. But I digress. Let me explain the magic in more detail.

There will be more #IoT things than there are grains of sand on the beaches of the world. All of these #things will need context and connectivity. Without context there can be no connectivity and without connectivity there can be no context. So the two are different sides of the same coin, albeit the coin may be different. See what I mean? Therefore without a valid strategy encompassing agility, cloud, offshoring, and wage arbitrage your business is in deep trouble. Only automation and massive scale can help define and control the legions of end points that will soon be at your door step.

Hope this helps!

How #MachineLearning and #BigData Saved the Day…

Let me be clear: my team is made up of rockstars. When a client knows they are in trouble, when they realize that revenues are down, that the end is near they call us in. Like superheroes, we swoop in and save the day.

Recently, a customer engaged my firm to save them from impending doom. At first glance, it was the typical customer deal. Incompetent leadership, poor staff, and bad lighting in the conference rooms. However, a more detailed analysis revealed the real problem: the lack of a comprehensive Big Data strategy and no ability to adopt machine learning.

I asked them, do you realize your competitors are miles ahead of you? Do you realize that without Big Data you cannot aggregate and disseminate the colossal troves of data you have? That without an ability to capture this data and analyze it that your data services have failed? By the end of the meeting, the entire staff was scared stiff. I also casually informed them that my firm was told to look for significant salary savings and that most of their positions were 100% dependent on helping me to launch this project.

Once the proper cajoling was completed, the client signed on the line which was dotted. I claimed a spot bonus for my fantastic sales ability while the customer now has access to my team to help them save their business.

Chalk it up as another win for the good guys!
