Applications for large, mid-size enterprises and startups
1558_ 6/2/14 -
We caught up with Thomas Grassl, VP Developer Relations for SAP, for an update at the Glue Conference 2014. Thomas said, "SAP is big in the enterprise business, customers like Coke Cola, Nike, Porsche, BMW, they are all run on SAP system, the finance, the logistics, all the stuff. That's basically where we started out as a company and you can imagine these business processes run on technology. What SAP is also offering is a lot of these technologies from data bases, from process logic, from analytics, mobile, also as pure technology for developers, partners, startups to use. That's a great opportunity - we build our applications for large and mid-size enterprises, but we also give this technology for use by these vendors and so on to build their startups, their cloud company, etc." SAP started in 1972, so they are over 40 years old having started building applications for main frames and standardized these applications on the main frames. Then they did 'client server' in the 90s one of the next technology revolutions. Now they are building their entire business around the cloud, offering it to their customers. SAP's products focus on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). The company's main product is SAP ERP. The current version is SAP ERP 6.0 and is part of the SAP Business Suite. Its previous name was R/3. The "R" of SAP R/3 stood for real-time. The number 3 related to the 3-tier architecture: database, application server and client (SAPgui). R/2, which ran on a Mainframe architecture, was the predecessor of R/3. Before R/2 came System RF, later dubbed R/1...

Important trends in technology share one thing in common
1554_ 5/27/14 -
What is Gluecon? Cloud, DevOps, Mobile, APIs, Big Data — all of the converging, important trends in technology today share one thing in common: developers. Developers are the vanguard. Developers are building in the cloud, building mobile applications, utilizing and building APIs ...check out the photos of this 2-day event...
Everyone needs user management, login, secure API, secure passwords
1556_ 5/27/14 -
After the morning keynote address at the Glue Conference, we sat down with one of the featured speakers, Les Hazlewood, co-founder /CTO of Stormpath. Impressed by his talk, Larry asked Les to give our audience an overview of his company. "Stormpath is an identity management service. We offload management user integration as a backend for people building applications." Stormpath works with all sizes of companies from startups to very large companies. Everyone needs user management, login, secure API, secure passwords and Stormpath does that for anyone that has a public website. Les told us that he and his co-founder spent at least six months in market research before they actually started building the technology. Their thesis being that security is difficult and as more and more companies go to the modern cloud, security breaks more and more often. Larry said, "While security is such a continuous and growing problem are there other challenges facing business today?" The modern cloud movement is difficult for a lot of companies to adopt and understand, 'How do I make the change from my on-premise physical infrastructure to a kind of virtual cloud infrastructure'. That's difficult for a large company to wrap their heads around. Also it's incredibly difficult to staff high tech companies, to find people with enough skill sets, training and experience to join and be successful. In the tech space, keeping abreast of new technologies is always difficult. There are always new things, new innovations. You have to spend a descent amount of time on a regular basis investigating new technologies to see where they fit and how they could benefit you. The companies that can be more nimble - adopting things faster typically can outlast the companies that can't.

Analyzing unstructured data including text, images and video
1559_ 6/2/14 -
We stopped at the booth and spoke with Brent Walsh, sales rep for AlchemyAPI a Denver firm at the Glue Conference. AlchemyAPI specializes in analyzing unstructured data which can include text, images and video. Brent says they offer this technology for an API so it's basically artificial intelligence as a service. When you choose to use this software you can focus on what makes your business unique, and use this API to do the heavy lifting when it comes to analyzing text and images. Brent explained that there is a massive amount of unstructured data - in fact, 80% of the data that exists is unstructured so there is a great opportunity and I guess it is also a problem. But the opportunity is to take that data and make sense of it. What we are doing is teaching developers at these companies to take advantage of this unstructured data and extract knowledge from it to make important business decisions. AlchemyAPI is helping pioneer a computers' ability to understand human language and vision. Our web services for real-time text analysis and computer vision give you the intelligence needed to transform vast amounts of unstructured data into actions that drive your business. Now you can easily perform sentiment analysis, keyword extraction, entity extraction, image tagging and much more on the massive volumes of web pages, documents, tweets and photos produced every second.

Extraordinary entrepreneurs and what they did to win
1553_ 5/27/14 -
We're sitting down with Jim Wilson, Partner, Assurance Services, Ernst & Young and his special guest, Mike Shehan, Co-Founder, CEO, spotXchange, to get an inside peak at the premiere entrepreneurial event of the year, here in the EY Mountain Desert Program (covering Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico) for the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Awards Gala coming up on June 26th. Jim has been with Ernst & Young for 18 years now and w3w® worked with him over the past several years covering this fabulous event. Mike Shehan along with Steve Swoboda, co-founders of spotXchange are past winners of the award and this year Mike is judging the event. With over ninety nominations this year, there has been an enormous amount of work and effort put into the judging. We asked Mike to tell us about his experience and he told us the excitement began with being nominated and just hasn't stopped. Mike told us he wanted to give back and becoming a judge offered the opportunity to do just that. Such a surprise, the rewards, and inspiration that came out of the process was awesome and gratifying. Seeing these other entrepreneurs, their passion and the work they've done building their companies was amazing and gave Mike more inspiration to go on. Larry asked Jim what he's seen over these many years - and his answer was interesting and eye-opening... These entrepreneurs are working so hard, with such passion and at such a fast pace...For more information please call the EY expert, Courtney Storey at 720.931.4411, if there's an answer she will have it.

API management solves the three biggest problems faced today
1555_ 5/27/14 -
It is very obvious, if you employ developers they need to be at this conference designed specifically for them. Not being very technically inclined we can tell you that the conference is very interesting at the surface. But what we've noticed most is the engagement of the people attending... those developers. They're excited, animated, smiling and 'glued' to their conversations with other developers who are either exhibitors, speakers or attendees. Following the morning keynote sessions on day two, Larry's managed to corner Robert Zazueta aka Rob Z director of Platform Strategy, at Mashery, An Intel Company. (Mashery was purchased by Intel about a year ago!) One of our first encounters with Mashery came at the 2011 Defrag Conference when we spoke with Ian Brown the Director of Demand Generation (aka, Marketing). Now, 3 years later, here at GlueCon 2014, we sat down with Rob and we asked for a better understanding of APIs (In computer programming, an application programming interface API) and its management. Rob said, "This is one of those esoteric areas that unless you're really involved in APIs, you might not understand what API management is all about. What it boils down to is API management solves the three biggest problems faced by anybody who has to manage an API, i.e. security, scalability and support." Traditionally, the value in a well designed API is found in the ability to easily share your data and functionality. An API driven architecture makes it easier to add new functionality to evolve with your company’s needs. As the business landscape changes, you’ll be able to keep up and adjust your offerings to the expanding demands of the market...there's more...
