Healthcare’s Ailing IT: SOA to the Rescue?

Healthcare is an area just crying out for better IT.  First of all, healthcare establishments are awash in data that needs to be properly managed in accordance with very strict mandates. Take HIPAA, for example. Medical records need to be maintained for the life of the patient, and X-ray images need to be maintained for at least seven years. An X-ray image may be a high-priority item within the first month of a medical procedure, but after that, chances are it will never be needed again. Thus, information needs to be stored in different tiers, at different priority levels.And the regulations keep expanding. The American Recovery ...

The offering, ARISalign, is built on top of Amazon Web Services and makes use of the ARIS technology that Software AG acquired in the purchase of IDS Scheer in July. The social network component provides groups and forums where users can collaborate ...

Multiple styles of EA

@tetradian has an interesting post on Big EA, Little EA and Personal EA., based loosely on Patti Ancram's classification of knowledge management. Big KM is about top-down, structured and organizationally distinct “knowledge management” Little KM is about safe-fail experiments embedded in the organizational structure Personal KM is about access to tools and methods to ensure that knowledge, context, bits, fragments, thoughts, ideas are harvestable As I see it, this classification identifies different styles that may possibly coexist, or perhaps different kinds of knowledge claim that may interact in interesting ways. (I don't like the word "layers" for this kind of classification, because it implies ...

‘Citizen Developers’ and the New IT: Managing the Mashup

Attend any technology conference or read any trade journal or analyst report, and it won't be long before you hear about the lack of "business-IT alignment" that hampers software and systems implementations. The IT department can't figure out what the business wants, and the businesspeople don't understand IT, and so on. But this isn't 1985 anymore. You don't have a mainframe data center buried somewhere deep in the organizations, spitting out greenbar reports for business users. If anything, business users -- especially incoming Generation Xers and Yers -- are incredibly technology savvy, and understand what technology can do for their enterprises.  At the same time, IT professionals are increasingly growing ...
