Demystifying the Technology Puzzle

By: Charles Breakfield,Roxanne Burkey

Managing Systems Migrations and Upgrades is the perfect book for technology managers who want a rational guide to evaluating the business aspects of various possible technical solutions. Enterprises today are in the middle of the R&D race for technology leadership, with providers who increasingly need to create markets for new technologies while shortening development, implementation, and life cycles. The cost for the current tempo of technology life cycles is endless change-management controls, organizational chaos, production use of high-risk beta products, and greater potential for failure of existing systems during migration.Burkey and Breakfield help you answer questions such as, "Is the only solution open to me spending more that the industry average in order to succeed?" and "What are the warning signs that tell me to pass on a particular product offering?" as well as "How can my organization avoid the 'technical death marches' typical of the industry?" This book will take the confusion out of when to make shifts in your systems and help you evaluate the value proposition of these technology changes.·Provides a methodology for decision making and implementation of upgrades and migrations·Avoids marketing hype and the "technical herding" instinct·Offers a tool to optimize technology changes for both staff and customers

The Enigma Source

By: Charles V Breakfield,Rox Burkey

Darknet vultures are preying on governments with cryptocurrency promises. The world is almost ready for fiat currency to be replaced by a superior digital currency. The trouble is, which one and who owns it? The R-Group is back and guiding players to a safe landing pad in the complex world of cryptocurrency. Global Bank wants to lead the race to blockchain adoption, but inhouse resources lack the expertise. Tonya is assigned by Global Bank leaders to hire a cryptologist to design the new global replacement for fiat currency. The cynical hack-and-slash digital currency swindlers, Matthias and Dutch, are jumping from country to country, peddling their new cryptocurrency as a savior for economically failing countries. Next on their shopping list is Venezuela, where the failing economy is desperate for a solution. Watch these new pirates do their coupon-clipping straight out of your digital wallet. Early cryptocurrency pioneer, Su Lin, is threatened by a dark figure from her past at her home. The evil henchman has his orders to bring her and her early prototype of digital currency back to China. Formerly Master Po, the Chinese Cyber Warfare College founder, Su Lin is forced to help those in power to jumpstart their race to the top of the cryptocurrency market. You will wonder which side she is on. Jacob, Petra, and Quip, R-Group experts, keep tabs on the opportunistic cryptocurrency swindlers as well as other digital currency players. Digital currency battles have the cyber good guys engaged in cyber combat with bad actors from the Darknet traveling from Atlanta, Paris, Venezuela, and finally to China. Can they maintain economic balance across the world in lock step with the cryptocurrency wars of the 21st century? In the digital currency gold rush of the 21st century, is there anyone looking out for the average citizen? What Readers Are Saying Kirkus "Another top-tier installment that showcases exemplary recurring characters and tech subplots." Literary Titan "Rich characters and spellbinding storylines permeate The Enigma Source. Readers looking to take a leap into the depths of the digital age will find everything they want" "This is the first of the series I've read, but this multi-layered, intelligently plotted narrative stays solidly on focus and can function as a standalone." "The book kept me wanting to read more to find out what was going to happen next." "There were several moments that made my eyes water and my heart heavy but there were just as many moments where I pumped my fist in the air. Comeuppance can be such a delightful thing to hear!
