MarkLogic and its customer and partner the Warrior Gateway were profiled yesterday on this NBC news story (video below and brief write-up here ). We’re proud to work with the team on Warrior Gateway to help build a site that I view as Kayak plus Yelp all rolled into one, aimed at the specific needs of veterans and their families.  Here are some statistics that might surprise you: There are 25,000,000 veterans living in the USA today This number expands by approximately 280,000 each year The average age of a transitioning soldier is 25 years old 38,000 veterans have been wounded in OIF and OEF As many as 1 in 4 veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan have been diagnosed with mental disorders As many as 1 in 5 have been diagnosed with symptoms of brain injury Suicide rates among veterans are 4x the national average, among male veterans aged 20-24 One in two homeless are Iraq or Afghanistan veterans For more information on the Warrior Gateway, visit the about page here , the site here , their blog here , or the page about the project from its sponsoring organization,  Business Executives for National Security , here . I’ve embedded the video of the news segment below.

As a technology platform provider, you inevitably have certain visions of what applications your customers will one day build with your product. For example, Mark Logic Founder Christopher Lindblad originally envisioned that customers would spider and enrich Internet content, enabling an XQuery Internet search box as opposed to the typical keyword-oriented one. Christopher’s vision became reality a few years back when we started working in open source intelligence .

I was at the Gilbane Conference in San Francisco last week, where I answered questions as a panelist, moderated another panel, heard many excellent presentations, and joined in many engaging discussions. On the plane ride home, I took some time to piece together the individual bits of information and opinion that I had absorbed during the two-day event. This reflection led to the following observations regarding the state of enterprise content management practices and technologies.

Our client required a modification to an existing web solution that displayed confidential results in html format, which could be printed from the results page.  The data was sensitive and was being forged, so we looked at adding a watermark.  This required moving across to using reporting rather than html, so we started building up a report structure. I was very pleased to find that Active Reports provided a WebViewer control, especially since it gave you the option of either displaying reports with an ActiveX option or with a Adobe Reader option.  My assumption was the latter required extra processing to convert a document to PDF first.  However, the ActiveX option requires the client user to have internet access to download the plugin, whereas the Adobe browser plugin can be installed from a downloadable installer that can be run on any PC

As I wrote about in the beginning of this year is SOA dead as many pundits proclaim?  Or are there new targeted approaches to Service Delivery that are mature, practical, economical, and better positioned for success? We have assembled a panel of Gartner & Burton Group analysts, customers, and events to showcase how service orientation can be a practical transformation agent for key business and IT initiatives. We call it: “Practical Approaches to Service Delivery”, which will be delivered as a webinar series.

Practical Recommendations for Delivering Software Services

Service governance is a topic I find myself engaged in often now.  The discussions take many forms such as:  “What is governance?”, “How do I apply it to my service architecture”?, “What vendors are relevant?”, “What standards are relevant?”, “What features and capabilites matter most in practical deployments?” I think this is an important topic given the state of service architectures and associated deployments.  Most organizations have many services in their environment and/or product architectures.  The number of applications and associated infrastructure which deploy software services as functional building blocks and / or APIs is increasing all the time.  Also, with the rise of cloud computing and SaaS, the vision of services being sourced from anywhere is an established practical reality.
