In my presentation at yesterday’s media launch of ANZ’s Banking on Australia program , I spoke about new ways of making payments using biometrics. An article in today’s Australian Financial Review reports: “Biometric security” involves using fingerprints, voice records or eye scans to access secure systems instead of number-based passwords, which are much easier to steal or hack.

The Accidental Successful CIO

OCTOBER 3, 2012

'Image Credit Dashboards aren't just for cars anymore…. Every once in awhile a new idea comes along that is actually a pretty good idea. The tsunami of data that every company is currently trying to deal with has resulted in CFOs coming to the IT department and asking for help. Since in many cases the CIO works for the CFO, you had better be able to solve this data overload problem and do it quick!

Many organizations today are unlocking the power of their data by using graph databases to feed downstream analytics, enahance visualizations, and more. Yet, when different graph nodes represent the same entity, graphs get messy. Watch this essential video with Senzing CEO Jeff Jonas on how adding entity resolution to a graph database condenses network graphs to improve analytics and save your analysts time.

'There are a variety of reasons businesses either do not have a disaster recovery plan or their current plan is substandard. The beliefs of the people in charge of developing these processes (business owners and IT department) play a significant role in how effective the overall strategy will be. This is problematic when the decision-makers have bought into one or more of the common myths surrounding disaster recovery.

I packed in a wide-ranging view on where customer service is going, including the impact of connectivity, the rise of new channels, where value will reside in relationships, and what supports the integration and integrity that will be at the heart of successful customer service.

'I read a petty interesting blog post from Citrix a while back that took me aback. They talked about how end users shouldn’t use their premier VDI solution XenDesktop as a disaster recovery solution. My initial reaction was that of “Are they not even trying to sale their product.” The author’s rationale is that you don’t want to use a different solution for end user access in DR than you do in production.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

'Can Chief Information Officers – folks who are deeply into computers and data and technology – be “champions”? We usually think of champions in the context of the Olympics or boxing (“heavyweight champion of the world”) or others who are victorious after a hard-fought competition. CIOs are not usually considered to be competing or fighting, although, really, they do a lot of both).

My book Getting Results From Crowds was designed as a highly practical overview of how to create value using crowdsourcing. However the last section on Crowd Business Models is perhaps where my deepest interests lie, and is one of the most important issues in the crowd space. Business models are increasingly based on crowds, so we need to understand how to make them work.

Apache Cassandra is an open-source distributed database that boasts an architecture that delivers high scalability, near 100% availability, and powerful read-and-write performance required for many data-heavy use cases. However, many developers and administrators who are new to this NoSQL database often encounter several challenges that can impact its performance.

'As you may already know, I’ve been working with Open vSwitch (OVS) for a few weeks now, trying to wrap my head around how this open source project works. One thing that I really struggled with—and still struggle with, to a certain extent—is a lack of user-friendly documentation. While there are a few posts that provide some basic instructions, I haven’t found any good articles that provide a bit more depth and more explanation.
