Abstract:

The technological innovation, always, divides the companies and people between disrupted ones and disrupters ones (the winners). Today we show the IBM vision about technological innovation in the software related sectors, and how this technology can contribute to build and improve the business. In the same way we will show what are the implications for our students and our universities. Computers are disappearing, the computational power can be bought in the cloud. Reinvent the wheel is not a productive activity, the modern software systems have to be composed by services integration and not only just programming. To reuse everything can be reused is the mandatory attitude. So, the importance of the architectures and of the platforms is more important than ever. IBM Bluemix is the IBM digital innovation platform for the actual and future business: the place where find the technology to build new systems and instrument new business.
