IBM i Security Fallacies Exposed
Security changes often, but old excuses don’t.
By Steve Pitcher
I had a great conversation with one of our salespeople a few weeks ago about the challenges of selling the value of IBM i security services.
Me: “Do you have ADT home security at your house?”
Salesperson: “No.”
Me: “Why not?”
Salesperson: “I’ve never had someone break into my house.”
Me: “That’s why it’s a challenge to sell computer security solutions.”

The AI Revolution: Preparing Yourself
The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is coming. What can you do to prepare yourself? No, just trying to revive The Robot is not enough. Let’s see what might work.
By David Shirey
The question is simple, and everyone is asking it (of themselves if no one else): “How can I prepare for the coming AI revolution?”
We know that both advanced robotic automation and advanced analytics are going to be the bread and butter of most successful companies over the next 10 to 20 years. For many of us, that time frame will fall within our working lives. It only makes sense that we start preparing for it now because the AI revolution is not just something that’s going to happen to us; it’s something that we will be participating in and helping move forward.
