2024 Gartner IT Key Metrics are out!

Cloud takes another 1% of IT spend on planet Earth. Doesn't sound huge but it makes cloud equal to all software spend for the first time^

^It's been larger than hardware since 2020.

All done for another year

AI will not provide sustainable competitive advantage

#Gartner Symposium 2023

#GartnerTGx Singapore keynote kicks off

Answer this: getting a 'Dear analyst' email means:

Simultaneously IM'ing with colleagues in China and India whilst waiting for a colleague from the UK...
Global baby global

Wait, what?
AI is going to help people write emails.
I already get enough fucking email.

In one tweet or less, tell me why it's a good or bad thing.

My post-2019 presenting style is working so far. Be authentic, have a little fun and roll with the punches

OK, for the record, is a portal the control pane or control plane? And what's the other one for?

Asking for a friend.

Suggestion for Microsoft Windows:

A 'fuck it, just close the app, don't save the file or make press OK' keystroke / button

... and what's best (for me), I'm not the conference Chair!
PS I will be there

Customers are always right, right? But what if they're machines?

Come for the insight, stay for the recommendations.

PS For my 'timezone-challenged' friends, a replay will be available.

For good or bad news, I somehow accidentally marked all work emails as read.

I was already at 750+ for 2023.
