Podcasts about cloud software

In dieser Podcast-Folge diskutieren die Branchenexperten Michael Zimmermann und Karl-Heinz Krawczyk gemeinsam mit Achim Meisenbacher, dem Gründer von MemoMeister, über zukunftsweisende Lösungen für die digitale Baustellendokumentation. Im Fokus des Austauschs steht die innovative Aufgabenfunktion, die es Handwerksbetrieben ermöglicht, Verantwortlichkeiten und Fristen direkt aus Foto- oder Videomaterial heraus effizient zuzuweisen. Die Experten unterstreichen, dass eine lückenlose Dokumentation weit über die reine Qualitätssicherung hinausgeht. Sie stärkt nachhaltig das Kundenvertrauen und ist ein wesentlicher Faktor für die langfristige Übergabefähigkeit von Handwerksbetrieben. Ein zentrales Thema der Folge ist zudem die Überwindung des „WhatsApp-Chaos“. Durch strukturierte, projektbezogene Kommunikation innerhalb einer sicheren Cloud-Software wird die Grundlage für klare Prozesse geschaffen. Ergänzend beleuchtet die Runde die strategischen Vorteile offener Schnittstellen für die Automatisierung von Arbeitsabläufen im Handwerk. Das Gespräch macht deutlich, dass eine einfache und mitarbeiterorientierte Softwarelösung der entscheidende Hebel für eine erfolgreiche digitale Transformation ist. Das Ziel bleibt dabei stets die Steigerung der Effizienz durch maximale Klarheit und Fokus im Betrieb.

Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Josh Flinn, Director of Product, Cloud Software at Digi International, about the company's achievement of SOC 2 Type 2 compliance and what it means for channel partners building secure, cloud-based IoT solutions. Digi International is a global leader in cellular connectivity for IoT, delivering secure, reliable connectivity for distributed devices such as remote sensors, smart city infrastructure, vehicles, and industrial systems. Operating as a channel-first company, Digi focuses on helping partners deploy and manage IoT solutions at scale through cloud-based platforms like Digi Remote Manager and Digi Ventus. During the discussion, Flinn explained that SOC 2 Type 2 is a significant milestone because it validates not only Digi's security controls but also the ongoing execution of secure development, auditing, and change management practices over time. For channel partners, this reduces friction in the sales cycle, simplifies security questionnaires, and provides confidence that core components of their solutions already meet rigorous security standards. As Flinn noted, “SOC 2 is not a one-time event—it's an ongoing commitment to secure operations.” The compliance attestation currently covers Digi Remote Manager for Digi 360 router and gateway platforms, as well as Digi Ventus, Digi's managed services cloud platform. Looking ahead, Digi is continuing to invest in security enhancements such as long-term support firmware, eSIM security capabilities, and automated compliance controls, reinforcing its cloud-first approach as partners and customers move toward increasingly distributed, IoT-driven environments.

Marc Benioff is one of the most outspoken names in tech. The billionaire co-founder of customer relationship software company Salesforce has been pivoting the company's focus to artificial intelligence agents to help its clients manage customer service and other needs. But he has some strong opinions about how others are promoting AI, from how Microsoft is selling its Copilot feature to companies like Amazon buying up nuclear power contracts for their data centers. And yet he says he's as excited about AI as he was the day that Apple's Steve Jobs sent him one of the first iPhones. So what can AI actually do, and what's a ‘fantasy'? Benioff speaks to WSJ's Christopher Mims and Tim Higgins in episode two of our interview series Bold Names.

That's why companies like Lacework are tackling this issue with a tile-based cloud security platform that detects data and identity risks to protect against both known and unknown threats. How can your company amplify its cloud security to stay ahead in the evolving threat landscape? In this episode of the She Said Privacy/He Said Security Podcast, Jodi and Justin Daniels are joined by Michael Moore, the Chief Privacy Officer at Lacework, to discuss security and privacy for the cloud. They discuss the modern concerns, how Lacework helps companies, the increasing threats companies face, and Michael's personal privacy tips for anyone and everyone.

An interview with Lorin Hochstein, resilience engineer and author. Our discussion was about how to handle a complex system that falls down hard and – especially – how to then prepare for the next incident. The discussion is anchored by David D. Woods' 2018 paper, “The Theory of Graceful Extensibility: Basic Rules that Govern Adaptive Systems”, which (in keeping with the theme of the podcast) focuses on a general topic, drawing more from emergency medicine than from software.Lorin HochsteinResilience engineering: Where do I start?WebsitePublicationsBlogTalksMentionedBrendan Green, "The Utilization, Saturation, and Errors (USE) method", 2012?How Knight Capital lost $500 million very quickly.

The follower, sensing the intention, first moves her free leg and keeps the presence of her upper body still with the leader. [...] The good leader gives a clear, unambiguous and thoughtfully-timed indication of what he wants the follower to do. The good follower listens to the music and chooses the time to move. The leader, having given the suggestion, waits for the follower to initiate her movement and then follows her." He further says (p. 34), "As a leader acting as a follower, you really learn quickly how nasty it feels if your leader pulls you about, pushes you in the back or fails to indicate clearly enough what he wants."Apologies. I was long ago entranced by the idea that walking is a sequence of "controlled falls". Which is true, but doesn't capture how walking is a sequence of artfully and smoothly controlled falls. Tango is that, raised to a higher power.CreditsThe episode image is from the cover of A Passion for Tango. The text describes the cover image as an example of a follower's "rapt concentration" that, in the episode, I called "the tango look".

In der Mittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Johannes Fütterer, CEO und Founder von Aedifion, über die erfolgreich abgeschlossene Series-A-Finanzierungsrunde in Höhe von 12 Millionen Euro.Aedifion hat eine Cloud-Software entwickelt, die nach eigenen Angaben dazu fähig ist, bis zu 40 % Energiebedarf für das Heizen und Kühlen von Gebäuden durch Optimierung der Abläufe zu senken. Eine künstliche Intelligenz, die beispielsweise Heizungsanlagen vorausschauend steuert, nutzt dafür zahlreiche Daten vom Wetter bis zur per Software ermittelten thermischen Kapazität des Gebäudes. Außerdem bietet die Cloud-Software Eigentum-Besitzenden, Verwaltenden, Facility-Manager und Ingenieurbüros zahlreiche digitale Werkzeuge zur Optimierung und Regelung von Gebäudetechnik. Im ersten Schritt werden dabei die Betriebsdaten erfasst und mittels Machine Learning ausgewertet. Diese Daten müssten ohne die Software des Startups in aufwendigen manuellen Prozessen ermittelt werden. Die Software arbeitet unabhängig davon, welche Gebäudetechnik verbaut ist und kann über offene Schnittstellen mit anderen Anwendungen kommunizieren. Das Unternehmen wurde im Jahr 2017 aus einem Forschungsinstitut für Gebäudetechnik an der RWTH Aachen ausgegründet und nimmt an mehreren vom Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz geförderten Forschungsprojekten anderer Hochschulen und Forschungseinrichtungen wie die FU Berlin, Universität Stuttgart und Fraunhofer ISE, teil. An den Forschungsprojekten sind auch namhafte Unternehmen wie Eon, Uniper und Züblin beteiligt.In einer Series A hat das Startup nun 12 Millionen Euro unter der Führung von World Fund und BeyondBuild eingesammelt. Das Family Office der SAP-Gründerfamilie Hopp, Bauwens, Drees & Sommer und Momeni Ventures beteiligten sich ebenfalls an der Runde. Die bestehenden Kapitalgeber BitStone Capital und Phoenix Contact Innovation Ventures unterstützten Aedifion erneut. Das frische Kapital soll für die Erweiterung der intelligenten Gebäudetechnik-Steuerung eingesetzt werden. Dabei soll auch die Produktpalette weiter ausgebaut und eine europäische Marktführerschaft angestrebt werden.

In der Mittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Boris Bösch, Co-Founder und Managing Director bei Everstox, über die Expansion in die USA.Everstox ist eine Logistics-as-a-Service-Plattform, welches Unternehmen über ein Netzwerk unabhängiger europäischer Logistikdienstleister skalierbares und datengesteuertes Warehousing und Fulfillment für E-Commerce, B2B und Retail anbietet. So können Online-Händler Logistikkapazitäten nutzen und die dahinterliegenden Prozesse optimieren. Handelsunternehmen können mit der Lösung auch ihre gesamte Logistik mit einer zentralen Cloud-Software steuern. Besonders schnell wachsenden Unternehmen soll sich so die Möglichkeit bieten, unkompliziert mit einem oder mehreren Fulfillment-Hubs gleichzeitig zu starten und problemlos in weitere europäische Länder zu expandieren. Derzeit gehören 77 Lager zum Everstox-Netzwerk. Diese liegen überwiegend in Deutschland und dem Vereinigten Königreich. Darüber hinaus ist das Startup in Italien, Frankreich, Spanien, den Niederlanden, Schweden, Tschechien und Polen aktiv. Everstox wurde im Jahr 2019 von Boris Bösch, Felix Haberland und Johannes Tress in München gegründet. Im November 2021 konnte das Startup 20 Millionen Euro in einer Series-A-Finanzierungsrunde unter der Führung von Acton Capital einsammeln. Die bestehenden Investoren Capnamic Ventures, GFC und Flash Ventures hatten sich ebenfalls an der Runde beteiligt.Nun ist das Logistikunternehmen in die USA expandiert und hat bereits 8 Lager eröffnet. Dadurch können die Firmenkunden, wie u.a. Razor, Hey Harper und Tropicfeel, ihre Bestellungen kostengünstig und schnell innerhalb der USA und Kanada verschicken. So können Marken laut Unternehmensangaben ein Amazon-ähnliches Liefererlebnis für alle Kundengruppen wie Endverbrauchende und Einzelhandelsunternehmen ermöglichen.

Digital transformation is one of the most talked about concepts in the business community.Most of the conversations focus around the pros and cons of various software solutions or  in many cases simply the need for companies to digitise more of their operations.We don't often hear much about the back end of digitization - what's happening further upstream that's powering all of our applications.Although we might not be aware of it, there's a lot happening in the cloud - and one company that few outside of the tech sector have heard of - is a driving force behind this.Today I'm speaking with Daniel Aw, Vice President for Regional Enterprise Sales in Asia Pacific for Red Hat.Red Hat is a software company that supports open source development and delivers any application on any cloud, anywhere.   The Red Hat hybrid cloud console gives users the content, tools and visibility to deploy applications quickly across clouds.In this episode of A Seat at The Table Daniel talks about:1.  Why open source is more advantageous for companies than closed source software.2. Opportunities for mid sized companies to use open source platforms to develop proprietary applications.3.

Dental practice management software. Usually it's not the kind of thing that people get passionate about. Maybe you chose one back in 1998 and have just stuck with it because the fear of change was greater than the frustration of the status quo. Maybe you inherited your software from the previous owner of your practice. No matter how you ended up with your current software, you really should think about how well it's serving you. Today Alan is joined by Dr. Rania Saleh, the inventor/creator of Oryx Dental Software. Oryx is a smart and intuitive cloud based practice management software that was built around concepts taught by Dr. John Kois and the Kois Center. Rania invited two current users of Oryx, Dr. Meredith Gantos and Dr. Ashish Patel to talk about their experience using Oryx and why they chose Oryx in the first place. Some of the topics that the group covered were: How did you choose Oryx and what helped you make that decision? What was switching to Oryx like? What hardware do you use with Oryx? How does Oryx handling imaging? What are your favorite features? What would you tell someone who is interested but is stuck on the idea of change? Cloud software is the future of dental practice management software and these folks are pretty excited to talk about Oryx!

Eric Schmidt, Co-Founder and CEO at Glue Up, thinks entrepreneurs can improve their success through communities and interactions. A move to China made him realize the need for technology to grow communities with other business leaders. The pandemic transformed his product from a nice-to-have to a must-have for business associations and chambers of commerce.Setting up a business in a different country throws out all you've learned in the US market. Schmidt shares that in Asia, it was very fast-paced, with businesses relying on day-to-day decisions. This required massive familiarity with the environment as well as flexibility to adapt. One key differentiator was that purchases leaned heavily towards trust over product. This was how business communities were vital, as they built lasting relationships.Schmidt believes a great product can sell itself, but it has to be developed with customers at its core. He believes that, for founders of B2B software companies, trying to solve problems by their experiences is more likely to be successful.Schmidt thinks that B2B cloud software and mobile apps will continue to be significant, even as the pandemic wanes. The product will need to focus on continuing the relationship even after that face-to-face meeting. Business leaders looking to gain an edge in gaining experience and building relationships through communities will find this interaction extremely beneficial.LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericschmidtglueup/Website - https://www.glueup.com/This episode is brought to you by Content Allies.Content Allies helps B2B tech companies launch revenue-generating podcasts.

I'm about to flip a coin so call it in the air. Heads or tails? … What did you choose? If you were making a bet, which side of the coin would you bet on and how much are you willing to lose? In the movie The Dark Knight, before he becomes a villain, Harvey Dent is the white knight. He takes risks and flips a coin to make major decisions betting that luck will make him a winner. It seems foolhardy until you come to realize, actually, he makes his own luck. BT Global operates much the same way. The difference is that where Harvey Dent takes a villainous turn, BT maintains its longstanding heroic posture, driven to connect the world for good. Still, like Dent, BT is always playing two hands at once, betting on both sides of the coin to make its own luck. It is what Chet Patel, the Chief Commercial Officer and Managing Director, Americas at BT, says has helped the company make its own luck for more than 100 years. How did BT do it and how does it work with and prepare customers for problems right now and those to come?  Find out on Business X factors.Main Takeaways: Make Your Own Luck: Rather than take a passive approach, companies need to always be working to set themselves and their customers up for success. In order to make your own luck you have to dig into a number of areas of your business, work to disrupt yourself, and always keep an eye on the competition and never be afraid to go head-to-head with them. Develop Product Paranoia: The saying goes that every cloud has a silver lining, but in an uncertain, disruptive, ever-changing world, looking for the dark cloud in the silver lining can help you to prepare for the next storm. Herb Kelleher of Southwest Airlines insisted on lean operations and cost-cutting in good times to be prepared for the next storm and at BT, there is always an assumption that the competitors in the field are working to out-innovate and surpass the company, which creates a sense of urgency and creativity that might not otherwise exist.Give Customers a Future Roadmap: Many companies are reluctant to share their future roadmap with customers because they don't want there to be any disappointment if things don't go to plan. Sharing a roadmap can, however, lead to valuable customer feedback and it creates a relationship of trust with customers. When you share your plans, customers can see exactly what you are working on and they would feel more invested in your company. But it is important to follow through and implement great ideas otherwise customers could lose trust in your company.---Business X factors is produced by Mission.org and brought to you by Hyland. For over a decade, Hyland has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Content Services Platforms, leading the way to help people get the information they need when and where they need it.
