For most of the first half century of business computing, most of the advances in this field came from harnessing Moore’s Law and the expanding scope, depth and quality of the capabilities that ever more powerful hardware and software allowed. With the advent of the worldwide web in the mid-1990s, Metcalf’s Law (the value of networks expand geometrically with the number of people attached to them) kicked in as well.

The head of IBM Software, Steve Mills the senior vice president and group executive outlined at the annual IBM Information on Demand conference the state of the business environment and citizenship reality that are faced upon everyone from the impact of globalization and sustainability. The IBM focus on the theme of ‘smarter planet’ (http://www.ibm.com/ibm/ideasfromibm/us/smartplanet/index.shtml) brings to practical reality the legacy and also stupidity of how our planet has evolved and operates with inefficiency that is now part of our daily lives. This discussion brings to life what now is the responsibility of our business and government leaders to not debate but create concrete solutions for smarter continuity of how we live every day.

IBM general manager of analytics and performance management Rob Ashe keynoted and provided deeper focus on the advancing set of technology and solutions for business at IBM Information on Demand conference. This builds on a larger agenda of IBM on information led business efforts (See: “IBM Doubles Down Again on Information Agenda at Annual Conference”) (and significant news building on the recent dedicated IBM Cognos conference in May (See: “IBM and Cognos Software – Advancement but No News at Forum” . Of course the IBM recent acquisition of predictive analytics provider SPSS (See: “IBM Boldly Elevates Analytics with Acquisition of SPSS”) expands the BI and Performance Management portfolio significantly.

In the 1970s, the US Air Force recognized that one of the biggest risks to its advanced, complex programs was cluelessness. In these sorts of programs, much of the collective knowledge was “tacit.” In other words, individual managers know most if not all of the direct risks to achieving their objectives but don’t usually talk about them. As a result, they are individually aware but collectively clueless about very important risks facing the program. Read more at http://www.ventanaresearch.com/blog/commentblog.aspx?id=3341

One of the more interesting products I saw at Oracle Open World was Financial Close Management (FCM), which will be generally available (GA) sometime in 2010. (One member of the audience at a session I attended insisted on calling it “vaporware.” Strictly speaking that is true, but the product will be the result of assembling already mature software, so we would be very surprised if it’s not available next year.) I don’t make a habit of talking about applications that are not GA, but this one is important enough to highlight because of its potential positive impact on how public companies manage their close-to-report cycle.

Attending the Teradata Partners Conference in Washington DC this week I was reminded of one of the more vexing but unseen issues facing finance departments – the difficulty of pulling together data from disparate sources for management analysis and reporting, external reporting and tax. Too many corporations seem to ignore (or under employ) the techniques developed over the past fifteen years to assemble and make accurate, consistent and timely data available without forcing analysts and others to jump through hoops getting the numbers together.

The first day of Oracle OpenWorld was opened by the ‘ying’ and ‘yang’ of Oracle leadership, Charles Phillips and Safra Catz. Coming onto the stage of technology titans conference is no easy gesture for the gentle but ferocious leaders of Oracle and little different than Larry Ellison and Scott McNeally the previous night (See: Oracle OpenWorld Sunday Night Opener Highlights Technology Game “(http://www.ventanaresearch.com/blog/commentblog.aspx?id=3328). Make no doubt about it that these leaders who herald themselves from investment banking industry who have a strategy and plan to maximize the potential of Oracle’s assets. As referenced by them they have made over $40 billion in more than 58 acquisitions that have work to leverage them across existing customers. What was interesting was the selection of priorities that Oracle brought into the keynote discussion into discussion segments. Read more:

It’s budget season again – a time when companies are (among other things) determining how much money they will be spending on their IT departments. In our experience, there are many things wrong with how companies budget generally, and certainly in how they manage the finances of their IT budget.

When it comes to the transition to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), too many US-based companies seem intent on repeating the same mistake they made with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance: procrastination. When it came to SOX there was a good reason – that law was a classic “we’ll-make-up-the-rules-later” piece of legislation and it took about 6-9 months for most companies to realize just how far out of compliance they were.

IBM Cognos held its annual analyst summit in Ottawa recently, which provided a gauge of the progress the company has made over the past 18 months in extending its product reach into finance and operations. In particular, looking at the string of acquisitions that have produced the current line-up, I think IBM Cognos has achieved critical mass in constructing a “finance appliance,” an integrated set of software that finance departments can acquire in pieces or sets to automate processes and execute related analysis and reporting.
