Today, we live in a world of cognitive content services, ambient search and hyper-automation, with multiple sects, gangs and subgroups lurking around the corner from RPA to insight engines. All this effort to label, often entirely different products, into a single category helps nobody or very few. Take, for example, all the enterprise search tools …

“This constant adding of new functionality and not raising the price of the subscription is unusual in the software world,” Pelz-Sharpe said. “It is common with Microsoft, common with Google, common with Oracle. Box is a very healthy company, but it’s not Oracle, right? Many vendors, when they get to [Box’s size], end up with …
Last year my firm Deep Analysis ran a survey that asked 500 people working in U.S. software firms about their work from home and hybrid work experiences, focusing on collaboration systems. Back in the day, meetings had agendas, minutes were taken, and action items were assigned to individuals. Pretty basic stuff, if a pain in …
In other areas, the White House is adding $187 million to the National Institute of Standards and Technology for research initiatives and the development of standards to accelerate the adoption of emerging technologies such as quantum science, advanced biotechnologies, and artificial intelligence. But the funding increase is too little, too late, said Alan Pelz-Sharpe, founder …

Learning from China’s approach Though it may be “counterintuitive” to give China credit regarding its AI regulations given the political climate, Pelz-Sharpe said its rules “set a new benchmark that may drive improved regulations elsewhere.” The AI regulations outlaw algorithmic price gouging and require an explainable algorithmic decision-making process. The algorithms have to be “trustworthy …
The use of blockchain for information management will never compete for eyeballs as Mrs. Trump does. Nevertheless, developers and enterprise innovators are actively exploring and beginning to use blockchain under the radar. I’ll leave the “how” of the underlying technology for another day. In this article, I want to focus on the fundamental conceptual reasoning …
“You can share files with your Slack colleagues, but keep the security and compliance levels that you have from your Box environment,” said Deep Analysis founder Alan Pelz-Sharpe. “It takes the power of the content cloud and brings it into the collaborative environment of Slack, which is super powerful.”
“Veritone’s launch of the intelligent distributed energy resource management system (iDERMS) addresses head-on the challenges of green energy,” said Alan Pelz-Sharpe, founder of analyst firm Deep Analysis. “With green energy’s inherent unpredictability, there is a clear need for AI-powered predictive energy solutions to balance supply and demand, lower energy costs and ensure grid reliability and …

“It comes as no surprise at all as Watson Health was described long ago by IBM as a moonshot, but it failed to take off,” said Alan Pelz-Sharpe, founder of Deep Analysis. “That it has been sold to an investment firm means that this is likely not its final resting place, but will likely be tidied …

In other words, what worked in the late 1990s and early 2000s does not work so well today. Now, we live in an agile world; we live in a world where we all have had to accept and deal with unexpected upheaval and change. There is a dawning realization that business process activities need to …

Businesses can get carried away with the idea that they need an advanced deep learning system that can do it all, according to Alan Pelz-Sharpe. However, if they want to tackle a targeted use case, like automating an invoicing process, they don’t need an advanced system. These systems are expensive and use a lot of data, which …

Alan Pelz-Sharpe, founder of analyst firm Deep Analysis, said all four companies are “in theory” capable of doing what the DOD is asking: provide cloud infrastructure to make accessing information from remote locations easier for the military. Pelz-Sharpe said for the companies involved, this contract may be worth billions.
“Knowledge management has a long history by IT standards, but the methodologies defined by Nonaka and others in the late ‘90s still hold strong,” said Alan Pelz-Sharpe, founder and principal analyst of Deep Analysis. “But at its heart, knowledge management is the art of bringing order to chaos, to bring structure and efficiency to the sharing of organizational …

Pelz-Sharpe said the nationwide push toward cloud and mobile work due to the COVID-19 pandemic has further prompted interest in ensuring that all Americans have internet access. Still, the underlying internet infrastructure has not had the investment necessary to support and drive such a transformation, he said. While roughly 90% of Americans have access to the internet, …

In comparison, Zix is a “good deal,” said Deep Analysis founder Alan Pelz-Sharpe, probably in part because the email encryption company that caters to small and medium-sized businesses wasn’t profitable. OpenText must take on Zix’s estimated $200 million debt. The Zix acquisition, Pelz-Sharpe predicted, will slot right into the OpenText product universe and fill an …
One of the ongoing debates in the world of RPA (robotic process automation) has to do with terminology. Currently, most RPA tools are referred to as bots; a few years ago, they were described as robots. Now, more firms are using the term “digital workers.” On the surface, it may seem to be semantics.
Vendors argue that office automation tools make employees more efficient. But they also make employees warier about their employers, said Alan Pelz-Sharpe, founder and principal analyst at Deep Analysis.
Pour Alan Pelz-Sharpe, fondateur de Deep Analysis, toutes ces fonctionnalités de collaboration sont et seront un ajout très intéressant pour la plateforme. Box, néanmoins, ne cherche pas à concurrencer Teams, Slack, ou Google Workspace – ce qui serait une erreur estime l’analyste.
