Security is top of mind for the CIO. But security involves the entire organization and demands that everyone takes security seriously… hand washing as a priority and second nature seriously. Often, we find that hospital system CIO and CISOs have been more focused on budget battles with the board as security and core infrastructure has historically been under-funded. Changing behavior and influencing a healthy security mindset as core to hospital operations and corporate culture has not been a top priority.

It was another thought-provoking and insightful analyst summit with the Zoho team outside Austin last week. No, they haven’t got every feature and function perfectly formed, yes there are plenty of spots in the portfolio that still need work. Even so, as I’ve said elsewhere, Zoho’s leadership has the audacity to dream big, the skills to focus that vision, and the tenacity to see it realized.

One of the more interesting and vibrant new spaces in enterprise software in the last few years has been the category of Robotic Process Automation or RPA. The premise is simple and compelling: Show a software robot how a repetitive work task is done, and it will literally learn how to do it by watching the employee carry it out manually.

As we enter the age of Authentic Marketing, Chief Marketing Officers and the teams they lead will be asked to justify authenticity itself…to explain why today is the day to engage with the customer on the customer’s terms and in their language…why now is the time to deliver on the centuries old promise of customer centricity.
