People reject you for their own reasons, and those reasons often have little to do with you.

Let other people’s judgments fall where they may.
Ever thought of using IBM BPM process to fetch the speed of the vehicle running on the road or may be disabling a vehicle remotely if it is stolen. Neil Kolban @IBM created an awesome demonstration putting together Watson IoT platform, IBM Bluemix APIs and open source platforms like Chip, Raspberry PI. He uses Open API to describe the services to call, IBM API Connect and Node Red flow to build this with almost no coding. Finally, makes a rest…
Blockchain is a global distributed ledger representing a network consensus of every transaction that has ever occurred. Like the World Wide Web of information, it’s the World Wide Ledger of value – a distributed ledger that anyone can download and run on their personal computer. Simply put, think of the blockchain as a kind of a public spreadsheet. This spreadsheet is stored simultaneously on a bunch of different computers and is encrypted.

It provides ways to re-model business processes, imagining new and better ways of performing operations. Starting 2016,…
One day in 1918, in his quest to increase the efficiency of his team and discover better ways to get things done, Charles M. Schwab arranged a meeting with a highly-respected productivity consultant named Ivy Lee.

After three…
The ultimate goal of business process management is to connect people with the right automated systems and processes to measure effectiveness and to keep up to date. BPM adds value to the IoT by connecting smart objects. This, in turn, expands their integration and orchestration. With more and more devices being connected and IoT use increasing, there is a greater possibility for chaos from rapidly multiplying individual interfaces. Smart devices send information from a connected device through an API to…
Like many others, I mostly use OpenTable to book a restaurant reservation. It provides the convenience of booking most restaurants that accept online reservations from the comfort of my home or office in just few clicks and also gives me double the points on my credit card.
