Aujourd'hui, on s'intéresse à un sujet capital pour les entreprises. Voici pourquoi certaines d'entre elles commencent à déchanter face à la mise en place de projets d'intelligence artificielle.Les entreprises sont nombreuses à avoir investi massivement dans des projets d'IA, séduites par l'énorme potentiel de la technologie.Mais un analyste reconnu du secteur, David Linthicum, met en garde. La réalité de l'IA dans les grandes entreprises est bien plus complexe que ce qu'on imaginait jusqu'alors. L'IA à petite échelle, comme les assistants vocaux ou les robots domestiques, ça marche assez bien.Dès qu'on parle de déploiements massifs dans des entreprises, ça devient compliquéMais dès qu'on parle de déploiements massifs dans des entreprises, les choses deviennent beaucoup plus compliquées. Les dirigeants se rendent compte à présent que la technologie est coûteuse et que le retour sur investissement est loin d'être garanti.Selon David Linthicum, il y a quatre raisons pour lesquelles les entreprises sont perplexes quant au lien entre transformation numérique et IA.La première, c'est le mur des données. Il s'avère que, pour que l'IA fonctionne bien, il faut des données de qualité. Et pour beaucoup d'entreprises, ces données sont non seulement insuffisantes, mais souvent désorganisées, voire obsolètes. Et cela nécessite des efforts colossaux pour remettre tout ça en ordre.La deuxième raison, c'est le choc financier. Mettre en place de l'IA dans une entreprise, c'est loin d'être bon marché. En plus des coûts de matériel spécialisé, comme des processeurs GPU, il faut aussi des investissements dans les données, la formation des modèles et leur ajustement. Autant dire que les budgets des entreprises peuvent vite exploser.Ensuite, il y a le manque d'orientation stratégique. Beaucoup d'entreprises se lancent dans l'IA sans vraiment avoir réfléchi à comment cette technologie s'intègre dans leur stratégie globale. Et on ne peut pas s'attaquer à un projet d'IA sans une vision claire de ce que l'on veut obtenir.Enfin, et ce n'est pas un petit sujet, il faut aussi avoir les compétences adéquates. Il faut une expertise poussée en architecture, en science des données, et même en éthique de l'IA. Sans cela, les projets sont souvent voués à l'échec.Hébergé par Ausha.

As AI becomes an increasingly prominent part of the IT mainstream and as organizations are faced with integrating AI systems with their IT enterprises, there is a growing need for IT professionals to understand the technology and architecture that underlies AI implementations. Thought leader David Linthicum discussses with Thomas Erl the important aspects of AI architecture, and how to best prepare for AI adoption. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Thomas Erl speaks with cloud computing thought leader David Linthicum who shares practical advice and guidance on how to choose the right cloud provider for your business. David discusses the big three cloud vendors (Microsoft, Amazon, Google), as well as prominent second-tier cloud vendors (such as IBM and Oracle), and raises considerations pertaining to cost, reliability, vendor lock-in, multi-cloud and hybrid solutions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this LinkedIn Live episode of the On Cloud Podcast, Deloitte's David Linthicum and Mike Kavis make their predictions on what's next for cloud in 2024.

What happened in cloud in 2023? Generative AI was the biggest event, but there were other trends, too, like resiliency, FinOps, talent, and repatriation.

Sometimes, you need to pull back and try to separate reality from the shenanigans. During today's interview, world-famous David Linthicum pulls back the curtain on many of the misconceptions of federal cloud technology and puts a focus on reality. In some academic circles, David would be classified as an “iconoclast.”  This is quite an impressive word that means a person who attacks or criticizes beliefs. The perfect summary for David's latest book, An Insider's Guide to Cloud Computing. Let us just take a few of the opinions that go against common beliefs.  Page 33 “What if the best cloud storage is not always in the cloud?”  Well, finally. It takes someone with David's decades of experience to stand up to the “common wisdom” that the cloud is the magical elixir for all problems. Page 87 “Edge computing will increase development and cloud computing cost threefold” David is stating the obvious. We know that sensors are everywhere from mountains to oceans, to satellites. In a never-ending attempt to compute at the “edge,” we can sometimes neglect to closely examine cost. Page 106 “Cost is overlooked when considering best development and architectural approaches” Covid has caused many organizations to spend like a drunken sailor. Covid is over. Just because it is possible does not mean it is the correct approach for a federal agency with a budget. Page 69 “When is Artificial Intelligence overkill?”  Whether we like it or not, humans do tend to get obsessed with the most current shiny object. Unfortunately, they also apply it to every situation imaginable. In the early days of Excel, I once met a person who loved the flexibility of the spreadsheet so much that she used it for a newsletter. Right tool; wrong application. During the interview, David expands upon where marketing people may have over-emphasized the strength of many cloud technologies. Read the book to gain a better grasp on terms like “cloud native” and “cloud washing.”   Sometimes, the best advice is a splash of chilly water in the face.   Follow John Gilroy on Twitter @RayGilray Follow John Gilroy on LinkedIn  https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Listen to past episodes of Federal Tech Podcast  www.federaltechpodcast.com    

Making automation work takes more than just writing the scripts. And it's most effective when it becomes a habit rather than a one-off project. But building habits and changing culture is no easy task. Eduardo Krumholz and David Linthicum of Deloitte help their clients internalize automation as part of their workflows. They share their strategies to help their customers make that transition successful—and overcome reluctance to change.

The space race is on, again, and it's creating tremendous business opportunities on Earth. In this episode, Deloitte's David Linthicum, Kelly Raskovich, and Raquel Buscaino discuss how deploying cloud platforms in space can provide advantages to businesses that leverage them. Reduced launch costs have already sent more satellites to space, which has led to an explosion in data and insights, especially for companies that put cloud infrastructure in space to analyze it at the point of origin.

Cloud adoption continues to grow among banking institutions, but their reasons for implementing cloud are evolving. In this episode, David Linthicum talks with AWS's Charith Mendis about how many banks now view cloud—and cloud-enabled technologies such as machine learning—as drivers of innovation, enhanced customer experiences, and increased business value. They are also making investments in initiatives that return the most value. Read more from AWS here:

In the second part of a three-part discussion with Thomas Erl and cloud computing visionary, David Linthicum, we delve into how we can leverage multicloud to create federated cloud applications that are distributed across multiple clouds, each providing an environment optimal for a given part of the application (as also documented in David's new book "An Insider's Guide to Cloud Computing"). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As multicloud continues to become a greater reality for many organizations, so does the potential architectural complexity it can bring along with it. In this first part of a three-part podcast series dedicated to the future of cloud architecture, author Thomas Erl and industry thought leader David Linthicum do a deep-dive to explore the meta cloud (or "metacloud") architectural model that David recently documented in his powerful new book "An Insider's Guide to Cloud Computing". As David explains, establishing a metacloud will introduce a critical abstraction layer that will provide centralized controls for the management, operations and security of multiple cloud environments. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Digital transformation is absolutely necessary for most organizations, but it's also probably the most challenging journey many of them will ever undertake. In this episode, David Linthicum talks with author Thomas Erl about some key elements and strategies that are critical to a successful journey. For Thomas, success results from good leadership that intuits the right pace for transformation, understanding the customer, making data-driven decisions, and continually communicating.

Cloud has strong potential to improve business outcomes and foster innovation. However, to realize that potential, organizations must build an effective governance structure around their cloud ecosystem. In this episode, David Linthicum talks with Meredith Stein, co-author of Cloud Governance Basics and Practice, about how enterprises can establish effective governance for cloud, the benefits of good governance, and how cloud governance can affect sustainability efforts.

The coming year looks bright for cloud, but only if companies can take better control of their cloud ecosystems. In this podcast, David Linthicum talks with Deloitte's chief futurist, Mike Bechtel, about trends on the horizon that can help organizations brighten their cloud future. Mike's perspective is that taming cloud complexity via abstraction, leveraging observability, and taking control of data can result in better cloud operational efficiency and better returns on cloud investments.

The past year has been a mixed bag for cloud. Certainly, there have been positives like the rise of supercloud and metacloud to help reduce complexity, the growth of observability to provide deeper operational insights, and an increase in cloud native development. However, cloud has also been beset by rising costs, complexity, and other challenges. David Linthicum provides his insight and analysis on all these topics—and more—in his review of 2022.

AWS re:Invent 2022 was better than ever, and there's lots of buzz around cloud's future. In this episode, David Linthicum sits down with Deloitte's AWS alliance technical lead, Tony Witherspoon, to discuss all that was new at AWS re:Invent 2022. This year's key themes were sustainability, diversity and inclusion, efficiency, and data as a corporate asset. David and Tony also discuss two big product announcements—AWS DataZone and AWS Supply Chain—that they think will really impact cloud in 2023.

Small, cloud-native companies can profoundly disrupt their larger, less-flexible competitors via agility and innovation, but cloud complexity still looms for both large and small enterprises. In this episode, David Linthicum talks with cloud influencer Ian Moyse about how any company—no matter its size—can leverage cloud to move quickly and innovate faster. However, it's essential to reduce cloud complexity and sprawl to achieve a lean cloud ecosystem that drives innovation.Small, cloud-native companies can profoundly disrupt their larger, less-flexible competitors via agility and innovation, but cloud complexity still looms for both large and small enterprises.

However, it's essential to reduce cloud complexity and sprawl to achieve a lean cloud ecosystem that drives innovation.

Many of the problems organizations have with realizing cloud ROI and value stem from an architecture that isn't optimized for the overall business strategy, but instead for particular solutions or narrow business goals. In this episode, David Linthicum talks with Red Hat's E.G. Nadhan about how companies can take a collaborative approach to ensure that their architecture is built and optimized to reflect the strategy of the business as a whole, not just a sum of its parts.

Cloud is undergoing a philosophical and technical renaissance. Innovation and disruption have become driving goals for cloud implementation. Sustainability isn't just a buzzword anymore, and the idea of super or metacloud, fueled by open source, is gaining force across the cloud universe. In this episode, David Linthicum talks with IBM's Roger Premo about this paradigm shift in cloud and how it's driving companies to change the way they think about cloud now and in the future.

Though the concept of a “product mindset” isn't new, over the past decade—with the ascendance of cloud—it has really started to gain traction as a better way to build cloud apps, or any app or system. In this podcast, David Linthicum talks with Twilio's Anthony Lazaro about what a product mindset is, how companies can leverage it to build apps that generate high ROI for the organization, and how to develop a product mindset and culture to build apps at the pace of cloud.

Observability is a huge help to organizations in solving systems performance issues, but some still see it as a bolt-on. In this episode David Linthicum talks with Dynatrace's Michael Allen and Deloitte's Jay McDonald about why that isn't so. The trio also discusses why companies should view Observability as a holistic process that can be built as code into every facet of their cloud ecosystem—from infrastructure, to apps, to security, to governance, to compliance, and more.

Most organizations that have moved to a multi-cloud architecture have experienced cloud complexity. In this podcast, David Linthicum tackles the complexity issue and gives advice to mediate it. According to David, abstraction and automation are essential. First, deploy an abstraction layer above and across cloud platforms for tasks like operations, security, governance, and configuration management.. Then, automate as many of those processes—especially operations—as you can.

Multi-cloud is here to stay, but for all its benefits there are hefty challenges too, such as complexity, heterogeneity, and inconsistent operations. In this podcast, David Linthicum talks with VMware's Richard Munro about the many challenges of multi-cloud and how to solve them – now and in the future. Richard's take is that right now, companies need to use cross-cloud services for more consistency. The future will be about edge computing, better data management, and decentralization.

Multi-cloud security is one of the most difficult pieces of the cloud complexity puzzle to solve for. It's also one of the most critical. In this podcast, David Linthicum talks with Deloitte's Ramesh Menon about how shifting security left—i.e., implementing appropriate security during application development to solve issues before systems go live—can help companies move from a reactive to a more proactive security posture and increase the effectiveness of their security program.

Despite a cooling job market in some sectors, many companies are still experiencing a shortage of cloud talent. In this podcast, David Linthicum talks with Deloitte's Josh Haims about how companies can fill that gap. Josh's take is that education must catch up with technology, companies should build a culture that attracts employees and builds tech fluency throughout the organization, and HR and the business need to build a closer relationship with a shared set of goals and outcomes.

Why do some companies glean more value from their cloud investments than others? According to the recent Deloitte US Cloud Survey, cloud leaders spend purposefully to innovate and they use technology as a force multiplier. In this episode, David Linthicum talks with Deloitte's Chris Thomas and Diana Kerns-Manolatos about that survey, and about what sets cloud leaders apart. Bottom line: leaders innovate, they build a strong software engineering culture, and they have confidence in cloud.

Why do some digital transformation initiatives flounder while others succeed? One answer might lie with the C-suite leadership. In this podcast, David Linthicum talks with StarCIO's founder Isaac Sacolick about his latest book, Digital Trailblazer: Essential Lessons to Jumpstart Transformation and Accelerate Your Technology Leadership. According to Isaac, good leadership is about understanding how technology can serve the business, adapting to innovation, and building high-performance teams.

Blockchain is evolving, and use cases for it may be almost limitless if the technology is harnessed effectively. In this episode, David Linthicum talks with Edgevana's Mark Thiele about how blockchain has evolved and how it can help solve pressing problems ranging from protecting intellectual property and personal data, to boosting IT security, to detangling global supply-chains, to democratizing computing in general. Mark also believes blockchain may someday underpin the emerging metaverse.

As cloud adoption increases and multi and hybrid clouds become the norm, operations become more complex and monitoring performance becomes more difficult. In this Knowledge Short podcast, David Linthicum talks about how the concept and practice of Observability goes beyond traditional systems monitoring to help IT teams observe, gain insight into, and maybe even predict what's happening in their cloud ecosystem to better manage increasing complexity.

Manufacturers continue to respond to an increasing demand for products amid a volatile supply chain, labor shortages, and a fluctuating global economy. Improving production processes in the factory can help, but it's not the only answer. In this podcast, David Linthicum and Deloitte's Stephen Laaper talk about how companies can use AI and other cognitive tools to harness the vast streams of data collected from manufacturing operations to automate and increase safety, productivity, and quality and build the smart factory of the future.

As cloud moves into its second decade, there are still growing pains. In this episode, David Linthicum and Mike Kavis discuss cloud's most pressing issues and offer solutions. Leveraging cloud for innovation, multi-cloud complexity, a talent shortage, and slowing cloud migration are the top challenges. The solutions? Focusing on value delivery, aligning business needs with technology, changing organizational culture, and realizing that slowing down isn't necessarily such a bad thing.

There's little doubt that sustainability has become a global imperative. In this Knowledge Short, David Linthicum discusses the vital role cloud computing can play in sustainability initiatives. He makes the case that cloud computing is more sustainable because resource use is optimized, and cloud providers typically employ green operations practices. He also talks about other ways organizations can practice sustainability in their everyday operations.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion aren't just words; they're a key component of success for nearly any endeavor, cloud computing included. In this podcast, David Linthicum talks with Deloitte's Josh Walker, co-founder of Black Orlando Tech, about his efforts to bring diversity to the tech workforce. They also discuss ways companies can change their culture to hire more minorities by creating a culturally diverse, friendly workspace and ensuring that minorities feel more welcome.

As cloud matures, managing cloud costs has become a top priority for many organizations. That's where the new discipline of FinOps, or financial operations, can help. The goal of FinOps is to help companies manage and maintain accountability for cloud usage and costs. In this Knowledge Short podcast, David Linthicum explains what FinOps is, how it can help companies control cloud costs better, and how culture change and automation play a key role in FinOps implementation.

Look around at any cloud conference, and you'll see a lopsided ratio of men to women. Why aren't there more women in tech, and in cloud computing specifically? In this episode, David Linthicum talks with Deloitte's Lisa Noon and Appgate's Tamara Prazak about how to get more women into cloud. In the end, it comes down to bridging the STEM gap for girls early on, recruiting more women, and making their working lives more flexible. Cultural change also plays a big role in closing the gap.

Despite cloud's many benefits, organizations are often shocked at its operational costs. In this episode, David Linthicum talks with Erik Peterson, co-founder and CTO of CloudZero, about how companies can leverage software engineering and focus on costs to optimize cloud spend and drive value. According to Erik, success lies in cooperation between finance and engineering to better understand the financial impact of cloud and close the feedback loop in terms of mapping costs to features.

Edge computing isn't a new concept, but pairing it with artificial intelligence holds new promise. However, there are significant challenges that companies must meet to realize the promise of Edge AI. In this episode, David Linthicum talks with ClearBlade's Aaron Allsbrook about how Edge computing, paired with AI, works, and how it can give companies that leverage it a competitive advantage. He also lays out some challenges they'll face to reach their Edge goals.
