Earlier this month, the 19th and 20th of November to be exact, I was in Las Vegas to hear on the latest and greatest from engineering software innovator Autodesk.
Continue readingThis years Siemens Media and Analyst conference was branded Where Today meets Tomorrow. Thinking on’t the strap line sounds like a excellent title for a future Bond film. Joking aside, I suggest its intent is more to provide a vision of the future becoming the new norm, and as a aspiration for those looking to digitise their (industrial) operations.

This years’ premier European Analyst event provided a valuable update on IBM’s evolving European partner situation, and topics including Research, AI and Machine Learning, Hybrid Cloud, Security and BlockChain. Instead of (my usual) textual ramblings, I’ve created some brief videos on the event. Special thanks go to my video guests Gary Barnett (@thinkovation) , David Terrar (@DT), Tim Jennings (@tjennings) and Clive Howard (@clivehoward) for their valuable insights!
For more information and highlights of presentations please look at my (and others) posts on Twitter. Search for #IBMAnalystInsights and/or look at my feed via @allanbehrens

Tony Hemmelgarn (President and CEO of Siemens PLM Software) quoted “The most profound technologies are those that disappear” at this year’s Industry Analyst conference. A statement that predicts a next generation of Siemens software perhaps. It’s refreshing that Siemens accepts that the complexities of older generations of (software) are less than ideal and change, (simplification, perhaps even appification) is on its way. Hurrah!
