  • What not to do with Linkedin recommendations

    1. Don’t ask them to your employees That is lame, makes you seem like the kind of guy who needs flatery at work, like the boss at “The Office”. 2. Don’t recommend to get recommendations back That appears in your stream and anyone in your area of interest will remember how you got those 8 […]

  • Courses versus Consultancy

    People who are not familiar with complex and modern software products usually have a reductionist vision on how issues are solved in real environments… let me give an example: an intermediary contacts me in LinkedIn and tells me about a customer who has a problem in production and needs an expert in the product to […]

  • Robotic process automation or pure manipulation from the sales guys

    I have been working with BPM since 2006 and I have been doing robot related projects since 1999 so when I saw the term “Robotic Process Automation” (RPA) I jumped over it with all my strength, just to freak out days later to the amount of lies and manipulation that sales and marketing people is […]

  • Cloning or changing Maximo 7.6 IP in standalone machines

    WebSphere 8.5 is the kind of server product where you can just change your IP after installation, but Maximo is not that cooperative. Due to legacy reasons if you change your IP (or clone the installation to another machine) you wont be able to start the application in WebSphere or rebuild it from the ConfigUI […]

  • How terrorists feed on EU lack of real-time integration

    It’s all over the news how Belgium was informed in July 2015  that a terrorist was going to their airport but it was only until the evening that this information was received by Belgian security services and acknowledged, thankfully the terrorist did not blow himself up, but he did escape control from authorities. Any integration expert […]

  • Spring versus Java EE

    In the beginning Spring was not that ambitious, then it came to the point on IoC and Dependency Injection when the Spring Dev team though that they could get a full suite of products on their own and they decided to try to build a replacement of several Java EE related products. Check this piece […]

  • When the CIO asks you / Cuando el CIO te pregunta

    This (real) story dates some years back… I was lecturing one of those courses – consultancies, that so much have been trending for the last decades, at an international retailer and they had the typical case of an outsourced project, developed by a bad consultancy company that destroyed the code and was not able to […]

  • My wishlist for WebSphere Commerce 8

    So if I was to change things in WebSphere Commerce for the 8th release, what would it be? The BOD commands model needs to die and a spring like mechanism independent of the DB needs to come in. Also complex and bad JET templates needs to go out The NVP command layer can be kept, […]

  • Bet on stable tech or passing fad: OASIS

    I just flipped over the pages of “Ready Player One”, nostalgia apart and focusing in the story telling, is a great piece of marketable product: epic story interrupted by romance that goes bad just to bounce back after the final victory… it always works out with POP fans, and we all are. But what about […]
