Open Media Project increases government transparency with technology

Real politics and law making isn’t riveting nor easy to follow. Long debates and votes scheduled at varying times make government hard to follow. How can the public stay abreast of legislation on issues that matter to them with hundreds of hearings at thousands of locations? rnrnNew technologies from Open Media Project make it possible for even small city councils to record and share their deliberations. Sessions are recorded and shared online though free tools such as YouTube. Google Transcript uses speech recognition technology to automatically create a transcript of the what is said in the recording. Captions are added to the videos along with time code information to synchronize the caption timing with the video.

Semi Truths

Bringing consumers back into the fold

IBM has mostly abandoned the consumer segment over the past decade and a half. It no longer sells endpoints to individuals. But it does provide cloud services consumed by individuals. The Weather Company, which IBM bought in early 2016, is one example. More recently, it has mounted an effort to provide cognitive computing, via services like Watson, to consumers in smart homes. It hopes to do so not directly, but through channels like communications providers, which already have strong relationships with consumers.

Database elasticity: The primary challenge for digital transformation

In recent years we have seen an accelerating trend of IT becoming increasingly strategic to business, not least in the enterprise. Under the banner of Digital Transformation, businesses large and small are making strategic commitments to technology as a primary driver of competitive success. There is broad acceptance that Every Company is a Software Company.rnrnLike so many of these things, it sounds right, and it’s a valuable insight. All of us need to take seriously the idea that we need to engage energetically and relentlessly in Digital Transformation. But of course embracing the concept is a lot easier than translating that concept to effective plans. “Sign me up” is the easy part; “Now what?” is the hard part.rn
