Thinking of writing something on “Digital” ONE day, in came the final provocation ‘an e-mail’ … telling me to ‘Focus man’.

“Microfocus” our partners calling out to me digitally (No, it is not about any reward stupid) & out came my commitment just the right match to our long-standing GOLD standard partnership, CHEERS!

Thinking about Digital, I tuned into ‘RaONE’ (it was a Sunday and wanted to avoid the bill from the AC, I am no FAN mind it). Not able to decide what is Digital in IT or the business world, King Khan helped me to focus this time: Micro.

Thank You, Mr. Hyphen Khan, for our own “Digital Man”.

At the forefront of IT tools in this journey spanning over 20 years…. enabling our customers with the “OpenView” portfolio. Automatic monitoring, using change management for Automatic device configuration in Monitoring,

Automatic DC – DR failover… Yes, on purpose I have repeated ‘Automatic’ many times over, just to emphasize “Automatic” is not Digital which many are pointing us to believe.

Automatic is not Digital if that were the case, we would have been in Digital Era long ago still living in the times of the Industrial revolution, and guess what?

The next revolution would still be a dream “The Internet”.

Be it washing machines or cars even our own IT systems, what is that we can really say belongs to the Digital Era?

Is it not that the reliable IT administrators in the data center, the Operations team in the NOC, the most innovative developers building the NextGen software, or the security guys protecting the IT Infrastructure of an Organization not using intelligent tools already?

Then who is this new kid “Digital” around and more importantly why does he demand so much of our attention?

This case study of IT can be replicated to other industries as well, look at MowTown, ShowTime, or TourTime.

What if I tell you there is a character in the English language that denotes the Digital age?

The “ – “, Yes! You read it correctly it is Hyphen.

Hyphen helps join two disparate words in English to give a new Long-standing meaning by connecting two words.

The Digital Era is also all about seamless connectivity of one system to another one and ‘Hyphen’ does exactly what it’s meant to do…. Connecting systems with ease no matter how different they may be.

The business disruption by COVID has ushered in the urgency of throwing the legacy out sooner than later…. Also, while the connected world provides many good opportunities AKA “G.ONE” it also feeds the bad guy “RaONE” with speed and agility.

So, know your side and choose wisely by tuning to the #MicroFocusBCD #AdaptandTransformconference (http://www.microfocusbcd.com).

I certainly have my eyes on and ears out to hear more professional views from the industry leaders in Digital Technology who know just how to keep “RaONE” in control (read security solutions) while enhancing “G.One” ( DevOps, ITOM, IoT, etc.…)
