This data would be collated and authored in a Web Content Management System (WCMS) by a content editor. For example, if the CMS is built on Microsoft’s.NET Framework, the front-end website would also be built on the same technology. The ability to integrate third-party systems via webhooks or APIs is a bonus you should watch out for.

When a technology has its breakthrough, can often only be determined in hindsight. Answering these questions will be just as important as the effort to solve the technological challenges, and neither dogmas nor ideologies will help.

Southwest Airlines has made headlines in recent days for all the wrong reasons: bad weather impacted air travel, which required Southwest to adjust plane and crew schedules. The culprit, according to people at Southwest quoted by the Wall Street Journal, was scheduling technology that could not sufficiently scale and is nearing end-of-life.

As Steve Jobs wisely said, Don’t Be Trapped by Dogma – Which is Living With the Results of Other People’s Thinking In my view, technology executives and engineering leaders are overly obsessed with the Spotify model. Specialisation could be around products, business process, or technologies. And there lies the problem.

Each is a new take on an old theme, echoing one part of the contradiction that has riddled every business with a captive technology department: we want to minimize how much we spend on IT, and we want IT to be a source of innovation. Personal technology such as spreadsheets and smartphones empowers increasingly tech-savvy knowledge workers.

It needs to be developed, and developing it requires a capability in technology (design, coding, testing, etc.) New technologies disrupt by creating new behaviours and expectations among its users. A company investigating a disruptive technology for its potential doesn't have to own the means by which it does that investigation.

In one sense, labour is to the IT industry as jet fuel is to the airline industry: IT is beholden to its people, just as airplanes don’t fly without fuel. The commodity model also ignores how advanced IT systems are delivered. The value of this knowledge is completely invisible if we’re buying technology assets based on cost.

During the 1950's and 60's, companies also pursued conglomerate strategies: bringing seemingly unrelated businesses under one roof, sometimes seeking synergies (as Sears did owning a retail merchandiser and retail brokerage - "buy your stocks where you buy your socks"), and sometimes not (as LTV did owning a steel company and an airline).

Obviously, we don't want to pay to maintain multiple e-Commerce sites or pay licensing fees for multiple ERP systems. We need to combine systems, and do so quickly. There are plenty of cookie-cutter frameworks for combining businesses, even their technology systems and operations. True, but not very helpful.
