LISTEN:Fueling the Economic Fire with Colorado Winners

As Business Development Manager for the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade, Sam Bailey somehow fits in a second full time position. At OEDIT his focus is to recruit, retain and grow companies, across a variety of industries, and in addition Sam also serves as the program director for Colorado Companies to Watch. COCTW came to Colorado in 2009. Companies to Watch was actually a national program with the Edward Lowe Foundation, based in Michigan. This foundation arose to recognize high growth second stage companies. These are companies that are beyond startups, they're really scale-ups. In Colorado, they are headquartered here in our state, are privately held and have six to ninety-nine employees full time employees, $750,000 to $50M in revenue and have an extreme capacity for growth. This demographic represents a significant portion of the job creators in our state. This program has been in the state of Colorado now for six years. Sam said, "I would argue that it is one of the premiere programs in the state... Last year we had 803 nominations, this year we've had 1200 nominations. So when you talk about growth this program is gathering a lot of traction, and that's for 50 slots for winners. Back in 2010-13 our 50 winners generate $1.1 Billion in revenue. And in those three years, also added 1005 employees to the economy. That's new jobs just on these companies and you can see as of last year these companies have employed 1771 employees. That's substantial, when you talk high impact, these companies...

LISTEN: Industry Briefing and High Tech Session Recap 1561_ 6/9/14 - We are at the CTA Industry Briefing & Legislative Session Celebration speaking with JB Holston, Chairman, Sitrion and Co-Chair of CTA's Public Policy Committee to talk about the legislative session and CTA's public policy efforts in general. JB said their committee got together about a year ago and decided to make some changes to effect better results from their efforts. They began by "...identifying the key issues we wanted to talk about well ahead of the next legislative session and the other thing was to start developing relationships with the legislators so that as the session started we could have conversations with folks that knew us, we'd gone to lunch with, had coffee with, talked about some of these issues informally with. That was a big change in the way CTA had been involved in the legislative process and I think it paid big dividends this year." The other speakers were: Erik Mitisek, CEO, CTA; Bill Mueldener, Principal, Hein & Associates; Annette Quintana, CEO, Istonish; Roberta Robinette, President-Colorado, AT&T; Sandra Solin, President and CEO, Capitol Solutions; Nissa Szabo, Industry Affairs Manager, CTA...Listen for more interesting details of this hugely successful public policy committee's work during this legislative session.

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...

LISTEN: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.
