CompTIA EmTechCast

The way OrionVM offers infrastructure as a service (IaaS) drives costs down so managed services providers can make larger margins and helps MSPs be more than “just another cloud reseller,” said the company’s CEO and cofounder Sheng Yeo. In this episode of the EmTech Cast, OrionVM CEO and cofounder Sheng Yeo talks with CompTIA communities leader Jim Hamilton about innovation inside commoditization. “We’ve built tech that allows us to sidestep a lot of the scaling problems,” Sheng Yeo said. They discuss ways OrionVM has used supercomputing infrastructure designs to create a place where customers can buy products and services from the providers they love while managed services providers create stickiness through the unique packages they offer. It’s infrastructure as a service (IaaS) done in a whole new way. Hear how OrionVM leveraged supercomputing technologies to offer significant performance improvements to cloud resellers and pay special attention for tips on how MSPs can gain margin on the infrastructure front.

Did you know your car probably has a SIM card in it? In this episode of the EmTech Podcast, SAP futurist and innovation evangelist Tom Raftery talks with CompTIA communities leader Jim Hamilton about emerging tech in the transportation sector and how technology is revolutionizing how we move people, goods, and services. The discussion in this episode of the EmTech Podcast covers big shifts in transportation, including connected cars, the electrification of transportation and the current shift to autonomy. They also talk about where things are going, like companies developing ways you can order a latte, have it delivered to your house and have the car simultaneously offer you a ride to work. Stay tuned to the end for advice smaller companies can use related to technology and transportation, and the differences Raftery sees between the U.S. and his home country of Ireland.

In this episode of the EmTech Cast, Jim Brinksma of Black Python talks with CompTIA Communities (https://www.comptia.org/communities) leader Jim Hamilton about the investing side of emerging tech, advances in multi-language processing and machine perception, and the five areas of emerging technology that Brinksma believes we should keep our eyes on. Listen to the episode for a discussion embedding trust into emerging tech like artificial intelligence and blockchain, and how Brinksma imagines emerging technologies will play out in the next 20 years. The discussion covers ways em-tech breaks down old communication barriers, how computers are learning to replicate human emotion and the importance of building trust in our new technologies. When people build out software and services related to emerging tech, they leave in security gaps that can be exploited, Brinksma said. How can we trust systems that have been created with security loopholes to aid customer experience, aggregate data and include lawful intercept capabilities? Stay tuned to the second half of the episode when they take a deep dive into some potential use cases for emerging tech, like robots providing home care and companionship for the elderly.

Analog Ethics in our Digital World Until we’re sure what our AR and VR future looks like (https://www.comptia.org/about-us/newsroom/blog/comptia-blog/2018/08/29/what-does-our-ar-and-vr-future-look-like), we have to plan for the unknown, and that includes the ethics of our digital inventions. That’s the seed of this conversation with by Jim Blasingame, author of “The 3rd Ingredient: The Journey of Analog Ethics into the World of Digital Fear and Greed.” (http://www.the3rdingredient.com/) (http://www.the3rdingredient.com/)In the second episode of The Em Cast, by the Emerging Technologies Community (https://www.comptia.org/communities/emerging-technology), Blasingame talks with CompTIA executive Jim Hamilton about the wild world of ethics related to emerging tech, and how some of the analog rules still apply. “We’re responsible for digital ethics ourselves,” said Blasingame. “We need to be part of the solution.” The Emerging Technology Community is one of 10 CompTIA Communities (https://www.comptia.org/communities) and works to encourage the adoption of new and emerging technology, as long as it improves business outcomes for members and their clients. While digital adoption overtakes analog processes, we’re still analog beings requiring analog ethics, Blasingame said. “And if you don’t put ethics into digital leverage you won’t get ethics out of it,” he said.
