We’re a little more than 24 hours away from Applepalooza and the rumors have hit the fan. Shiny new toy syndrome is about to kick in at work and hundreds of devices are accidentally going to fall from pockets or into toilets etc in the next few days in hopes of getting one of these new toys before anyone else. While I am hugely excited to see what Apple has to offer, a few phones I’m sure, a wearable maybe an iPad or a Mac, working in enterprise mobility, I am even more excited by the possibilities that the new season brings us.

The term journey carries many connotations. In one sense it defines an epic trip. Something that one might look forward to as a once in a lifetime adventure. For others, a journey might be seen as a difficult and arduous trip – think the Mayflower crossing the Atlantic. These connotations are not that different when it comes to supply chain. In particular with regards to such adoption as S&OP. There seems to be more S&OP journeys than any other. But are we looking at this with the wrong lens?

I spend a lot of my time talking about mobility and enablement. When I’m not doing that the talk usually turns to security. So I had to pause today when someone asked me how do you balance mobility and security. I didn’t really understand the question. Why were people worrying about balancing mobility and security? Then I realized this was one of the basic issues that most companies face. It’s not a new issue either.

The #IoT bandwagon is already full.
On this proverbial bandwagon are herds of pundits, analysts and guys like me living in a rolling echo chamber. In our rolling echo chamber, questions are drowned by conjecture, stalwart claims, and empty predictions. Yeah, we seem to forget to answer the important questions.
There are more unanswered questions about #IoT than there are unique types of things other than computers connected to the Internet.

The problem of identity takeover
The root cause of much identity theft and fraud today is the sad fact that attribute data - customer reference numbers, personal identifiers etc. - are so easy to copy. Simple numerical data like bank account numbers and health IDs can be stolen from many different sources, and replayed in bogus trans-actions.
