So Delaware wants to be a “tech hub” 🏙️, but here’s the reality check: according to Code.org's 2024 State of Computer Science Education Report, only 61% of high schools here offer computer science 🖥️, and less than 6% of students are actually signing up. Meanwhile, neighboring states like Maryland and New Jersey are way ahead—fully funded 💸, with state plans 📜, and higher enrollment numbers. And what about the younger kids? We’re handing out Chromebooks in elementary school 📲, but where’s the computer science education to go with them? Kids are using tech every day but aren’t getting the skills they need to understand it, build with it, or innovate for the future. 🌐 If we’re serious about preparing our kids—and Delaware—for a tech-driven future 🚀, it’s time to go beyond talk and invest in computer science at every grade level. Let’s put some action (and funding!) 💥 behind the “tech hub” dream. #Delaware #CSforAll #TechHubGoals #FutureReadyOrNot #RealTalk

It’s a big day for the technology lifecycle management world as AppDirect, led by Amherst College graduate Nicolas Desmarais announces the intent to acquire vCom Solutions, a longtime veteran in the telecom management, managed mobility and cloud management spaces. vCom has long been known for its combination of spend aggregation, managed services, and professional services to support midmarket IT departments. One of the most interesting operational aspects that the press release revealed was “Prior to closing of the transaction, vCom will spin out its direct sales team and branded franchise advisors to become an exclusive partner to AppDirect, enabling it to expand into new markets and areas of differentiation.” This is an interesting step to prepare the sales team to sell a broader portfolio of services and it is not one that often happens when a smaller company is purchased. I honestly wonder why this doesn’t happen more often, as one of the biggest challenges of mergers and acquisitions is to onboard sales teams. Of course, the biggest question here is how much access vCom customers will have to the larger AppDirect offering, and how those relationships will be determined from the pricing and product perspective as well as the timing. This acquisition also speaks to the potential for telecom expense management solutions to play apart in IT marketplaces, enterprise architecture management, and IT financial management solutions going forward. Network and mobility are often big gaps in each of these areas, but for some reason, these larger IT management markets have had a blind spot towards looking at the telecom management world. Obvious examples include looking at the likes of ServiceNow and IBM Apptio and their lack of support for network management. With the acquisition of vCom, one of the top options for telecom expense management-based managed services is now off the table for the megavendors seeking to improve their network, mobility, and cloud spend unless they decide to pick up AppDirect as a whole. The race is on for acquiring effective IT support of communications services, which is still globally a $1.5 trillion market even if it’s growth is not as fast as cloud or the current AI-driven data center services. #etma #finops #itmarketplace

🚀 theCUBE + NYSE Wired CXO Series 🚀 ✨ Unpacking Oracle Momentum ✨ SiliconANGLE & theCUBE hit the road, broadcasting from the iconic NYSE for our Media Week - CXO Series in collaboration with NYSE Wired! Yesterday, we rang the opening bell alongside Sonny Singh - EVP of Oracle’s Financial Business 📈🔔 I had the pleasure of sitting down with Trinity Chavez above the trading floor to dive into Oracle’s incredible ascent and what’s driving the stock to new heights. 📊⬆️ 🔹 It starts at the top with Founder & Chairman Larry Ellison – the true Alpha of Silicon Valley 🦁. His leadership continues to propel product innovation 🌐. 🔹 Oracle Cloud (OCI) is highly differentiated, designed to run mission-critical workloads like no other platform ☁️💪. 🔹 With its expansive cross-cloud capabilities (multicloud/Supercloud), Oracle has built the industry’s most comprehensive cross-cloud offering– now running critical workloads on @AWS, @Google, Azure, and of course OCI 🤝🌍. 🔹 Their massive TAM was supercharged in 2010 with the Sun Microsystems acquisition, enabling the “iPhone of enterprise” strategy by blending hardware & software together 🔧📲. 🔹 Oracle’s investment in Fusion has integrated their vast suite of enterprise apps, setting them up well for the #AI era 🤖💼. 🔹 Data is the fuel for AI, and Oracle’s approach to “Fusing” data, metadata, and business logic in its apps positions them to lead with an embedded AI strategy across it's portfolio💾🔍. 🔹 From financial services to healthcare to ERP, Oracle is weaving AI into its infrastructure, database, and applications, creating agents to automate workflows 🏥📈⚙️. 🔹 At over $50B in revenue, Oracle’s business isn’t just stable – it’s accelerating with a CAGR expected in the mid to high teens over the next few years 📊🚀. All this is driving Oracle’s market cap to nearly $1/2 TRILLION 💸. Trinity and I also covered the broader macro IT spending environment and how AI investments are pulling budgets from other areas. What needs to happen for the entire market to flourish? 🤔💡 Catch the full interview from our perch above the NYSE floor 🏙️⬇️ Thanks Trinity, Brian J.

My first thought when I saw this story from VentureBeat was 'Chainsaw Massacre'. Thankfully, this is more of a #dataanalytics solution from Stream Analyze "But Stream Analyze believes its tech is superior to others because it is an “end-to-end platform for machine learning op[erations]” according to Spahr, one that identifies the correct data to record and upload from the field back to cloud servers, without capturing needless data that would increase the cost, computational and energetic requirements." ________________________ Catch up on #technews like this on Teckedin.com - my public knowledge base site. _______________________ #ai #automation #datamanagement https://lnkd.in/gBcnNuRR

Climate software is ready for the C-suite and Silicon Valley executives are making the switch to the climate sector. The congruence between traditional tech and climate-tech is profound and their expertise is sorely needed. Best of all, there are plenty of tech executives available for climate-tech engagements on a fractional basis. Check out this Forbes article to learn more about the exciting frontier of climate-tech. #greenpantheradvisory #jointheparty #explosivegrowth #newbeginning Link: https://lnkd.in/eG9tRjn3
