  • Four Hundred Monitor, January 27

    January 27, 2020 Jenny Thomas

    At the beginning of the year, there’s always a lot of talk about what the future holds. We’ve done our fair share of prognosticating here in the Jungle. In fact, don’t miss part 2 of our series where we ask industry leaders to tell us what they think will happen next (top link below). IBM is starting off 2020 with lots of attention in the news, which we are going to take as a positive because it’s when they stop talking about you that you should start to get worried. So take a look at the latest headlines on IBM, and continue on for our roundup of resources and events from around the community.

        Thank you for letting us know. We had some sort of issue with WordPress and all the links that appeared above the Seiden Calendar listing got changed. The issue has been corrected.

      The link for the Github code from Liam Allan does not take you to the code. It takes you to the CIO summit page at the Seiden Group website. Please fix that. Thanks.
