Videos on Application Lifecycle Management  
# Monday, September 27, 2010
 
A while ago, I wrote a set of short papers on various aspects of ALM. I've now recorded a set of equally short videos on the same topics. They are:

• What is ALM?
• ALM and Business Strategy
• ALM and Business Processes
• Tools for Team Development: Why Vendors Are Finally Getting It Right

Like the papers, these videos were sponsored by Microsoft. Also like the papers, though, they're not product-focused. My goal is to talk about ALM in a broad way, not to describe any particular vendor's products.

GIS in the Cloud  
# Thursday, September 23, 2010
 
Geographic information system (GIS) technology has gone mainstream--it seems to be everywhere. Cloud computing has also gone mainstream, becoming a bigger part of our lives every day. It shouldn't be surprising that these two technologies are being used together.

I've written a white paper on this combination, sponsored by ESRI. It's called GIS in the Cloud: The ESRI Example, and it illustrates some ways in which ESRI is applying cloud computing to GIS. The paper's goal is to give anybody interested in this area a big-picture view of how one GIS provider is exploiting the possibilities of the cloud.
