SAP is pitching its Business Data Cloud (BDC) as a key differentiator for customers seeking data-driven innovation. The platform, which offers a “zero copy” mechanism that enables SAP customers to perform data modeling without moving data outside the SAP environment or having to copy data into SAP from external sources, now offers native integration with…
A few years ago, my team hit a monumental milestone: a 10% decrease in p99 latency on our core APIs! According to our dashboards, it had been executed flawlessly. However, another metric was telling a much scarier story: an increase of 40% in after-hours alerts for the team supporting the same APIs. We were making…

I’ve always found starting a transformation program to be a lot like starting a fire deep in the woods. You need the right kindling, a thoughtful structure, just enough airflow, and a stubborn streak of patience. You get one shot.

Managingit is essential for keeping IT out of trouble. Need an object lesson? How about the FAA’s newly publicized integration architecture, which has a…
SAP 데이터 및 애널리틱스 사장 겸 최고제품책임자(CPO) 이르판 칸은 15일 서울에서 열린 기자간담회에서 BDC의 기술적 특징과 차별점을 직접 밝혔다. 칸은 “SAP는 고품질의 비즈니스 데이터를 생성하는 다양한 애플리케이션을 보유하고 있으며, 이를 기반으로 신뢰할 수 있는 AI를 구현하는 것이 핵심 전략”이라며, 이를 ‘플라이휠 효과(Flywheel Effect)’라는 개념으로 설명했다. 이 구조는 △고부가가치 데이터 생성 △신뢰 기반 AI 구현 △AI와…
만약 벤더가 ‘제로 CVE’를 실현할 수 있다고 주장한다면, 주저 없이 자리를 벗어나는 게 상책일 수 있다. CVE(Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, 공통 취약점 및 노출)를 0개로 만드는 것은 현실적으로 불가능할 뿐 아니라, 굳이 시도할 필요가 없는 목표이기 때문이다. 오히려 이 목표에 집착하는 과정에서 거시적인 보안 관점을 놓친다면 시스템의 취약성은 더 커질 수 있다. ‘제로 CVE’는 종종…
