With the release of Adobe's ColdFusion 8 -and today's general availability release- SYS-CON.TV's Roger Strukhoff sat down with ColdFusion Developer's Journal Editor-in-Chief Simon Horwith for an exclusive interview from SYS-CON's TV studios overlooking Times Square in New York.
Simon had had the opportunity to work with the CF8 public beta, and his enthusiasm could not have been more emphatic. "It's fantastic," he said in the interview, "the number of features is ridiculous, crazy, great. And it's also very stable."
He also noted that people with whom he had spoken about CF8 "were very excited." He said that CF8 features "massive performance benefits," as well as a slew of powerful new features that will enable developers and architects. "(With CF8), you can create presentations, work with pdfs and pdf forms like never before. The language is a bit more object-oriented, which is fantastic. For those developing enterprise apps, CF8 lets CFCs serialize which is great for architects. And the new reporting engine is great."
Simon also commented on the AJAX-y aspects of CF8, saying that it "allows you to generate very nice interfaces--flash forms, flash interfaces, flash paper, pdf content. With CF8 there are a ton
of new features that generate very, very nice RIAs that are AJAX-based as well as Flash-based." He also noted though that CF8's strength as a server-side product remains undimmed, and that "integration (with front-end design) is huge. With CF8, there is a very tight integration between Flex and ColdFusion, as well as between ColdFusion and a lot of (other) server-side technologies."

What if you could closely measure your retail competitor's in-store sales every day? What if you could be alerted when competitors were increasing or decreasing production at different factories or ordering more materials? Would that be valuable? If it were possible, how would it change your strategies and the way you operated?
Today we can collect lots and lots of performance data. We build beautiful dashboards and even have fancy query languages to access and transform the data. Still performance data is a secret language only a couple of people understand. The more business becomes digital the more stakeholders are interested in this data including how it relates to business. Some of these people have never used a monitoring tool before. They have a question on their mind like “How is my application doing” but no idea how to get a proper answer.

HyperConvergence came to market with the objective of being simple, flexible and to help drive down operating expenses. It reduced the footprint by bundling the compute/storage/network into one box. This brought a new set of challenges as the HyperConverged vendors are very focused on their own proprietary building blocks. If you want to scale in a certain way, let's say you identified a need for more storage and want to add a device that is not sold by the HyperConverged vendor, forget about it. This meant that up to now the HyperConverged vendors were in charge of the requirements.
"We are still a relatively small software house and we are focusing on certain industries like FinTech, med tech, energy and utilities. We help our customers with their digital transformation," noted Piotr Stawinski, Founder and CEO of EARP Integration, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 20th Cloud Expo, held June 6-8 in New York City, NY.
"We're focused on how to get some of the attributes that you would expect from an Amazon, Azure, Google, and doing that on-prem. We believe today that you can actually get those types of things done with certain architectures available in the market today," explained Steve Conner, VP of Sales at Cloudistics, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 21st Cloud Expo, held Oct 31 – Nov 2, 2017, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.
"This all sounds great. But it's just not realistic."
This is what a group of five senior IT executives told me during a workshop I held not long ago. We were working through an exercise on the organizational characteristics necessary to successfully execute a digital transformation, and the group was doing their ‘readout.'
The executives loved everything we discussed and agreed that if such an environment existed, it would make transformation much easier. They just didn't believe it was realistic.
This week I had the privilege of interviewing Christine Ashton, SAP's Global CDO, Digital Office, ERP Cloud. In this interview, we dig deep into her insights on digital transformation, AI, automation and the economic case for running ERPs in the cloud, plus what it takes to win in a fast changing technology environment.
