We suspect that it’s taken a lot of older-school smartphone users a long while to get used to the idea of using a stylus, or “pen,” when deploying their devices. We’re just too used to swiping, typing and navigating with our relatively fat fingers and thumbs, and it’s hard to change old habits. Samsung Galaxy […]

With the rise in the number of IT-sanctioned business-productivity tools, applications and businesses migrating to the cloud, enterprises are embracing methods for work to get done to be faster, more efficient and more collaborative. However, with all this collaboration also comes risk when critical content is shared across a wide range of users and collaborators […]

Maintaining growth is a perennial challenge for any business, but for early-stage firms it’s a matter of survival. Gone are the days of the C-suite fueling growth on intuition, experience and vision alone. As tools and technologies have advanced—and eWEEK charts this progress daily—fueling enterprise growth has become a science driven by the analysis of […]

Adobe is using its extensive intellectual property portfolio in the CX (“customer experience”) genre and is connecting with the open source community to build smart new apps for enterprises. Enterprises are focusing on updating and improving their digital presence across all aspects of their businesses—products and services, operations, employees and go-to-market.

Despite what a number of messaging- and chat-oriented proponents keep insisting, email isn’t going away anytime soon. In fact, use of email is growing, just like virtually every other sector in IT.

No person and no company is completely immune from attacks via the internet. Social networks, too, have been weaponized by all sorts of bad actors—including election meddlers, misinformation peddlers, fraudulent accounts, cyber-criminals and scammers. The networks are doing their best to clean up the platforms, but it’s an uphill battle, to say the very least; […]

Here is the latest article in the eWEEK feature series called IT Science, in which we look at what actually happens at the intersection of new-gen IT and legacy systems. Unless it’s brand new and right off various assembly lines, servers, storage and networking inside every IT system can be considered “legacy.” This is because the […]

It’s pretty easy to take new-gen video for granted. We haven’t always had IMAX theaters, 3D movies and augmented reality applications; this has only happened in recent years behind powerful servers, virtually unlimited storage, super-fast networks, lean code and ingenious new applications. Entertainment experiences that audiences enjoy today represent massive technology advances in HD, 3D, […]

If you’ve been reading my eWEEK storage coverage during the last 13 years, you’ll note that the most common thread in all those articles is always something about “the continued unbridled growth of data in [whatever sector]” and how IT is constantly trying to wrangle it all. Data has never been generated so quickly and […]

Most enterprise and consumer software these days is built upon, or contains a measure of, open source code and components. Such is the incredible influence of the open-source community; in fact, there is a case to be made for stating that the world today would not be the same if not for the sharp rise […]
