I’ll see you tomorrow morning at the keynote for Gartner’s 41st Infrastructure, Operations and Cloud Strategies Conference! (OK, the name has evolved, but so does IT) #GartnerIO

@elonmusk Interesting tweet. Dickson was talking about winning by convincing your opponent to overreach, over-extend, assume something would be easy, when it’s really hard. Are you suggesting you’re being played?

@DivergingStocks @AaahhRealLosses @warriors The U.S. doesn’t have a unique mental health issue. We have a responsible gun access issue. For example, how many K-12 mass shooters are under 21? A hell of a lot. Why do kids need to own guns?

#edgecomputing will blur lines between physical and digital, digital will augment interactions, systems of things will become intelligent, edge data will explode, and computing will become pervasive. Are you making a difference? @Gartner_IT @Gartner_IT https://t.co/hKMNWL7cJ4

[Tom Bittman @tombitt]

What's next? Gartner believes #edgecomputing will be a major trend. Digital transformation requires edge computing, and the opportunities and challenges are tremendous. Are you an emerging player in this trend? @Gartner_IT @Gartner_IT https://t.co/hKMNWL7cJ4

[Tom Bittman @tombitt]

If your company has something disruptive and innovative in #edgecomputing, Gartner analysts want to know more about you! The extended deadline is Jan 21 - sign up here. Let's talk! @Gartner_IT @Gartner_IT

@lludovic @cloudpundit @QuinnyPig @Gartner_IT @Gartner_inc Two-way benefit - we talk to 10s of 1000s of clients monthly, tons of vendors, but interesting startups sometimes below radar. I say no to many 45-min vendor briefing requests, where if we had 5 mins from them, we might be very interested to know more. Win-win.

[Tom Bittman @tombitt]

@lludovic @cloudpundit @QuinnyPig @Gartner_IT @Gartner_inc 5 mins of presentation, 5 mins of questions. It’s an experiment, and we’ll see how it goes. Huge interest in the analyst community. I think 5 mins is enough to decide if a lot more is warranted.

[Tom Bittman @tombitt]

@Gartner_IT is looking for innovative edge computing startups! We want to hear from you. https://t.co/63LKA8wYe0

@mattswider It took about 30 mins, but finally got my son’s Xmas 2020 present. Thanks for your help.

@MacIverWisc This is crazy. Every time you post the leading cause of death chart, you get it wrong. COVID, on your own chart, is the 3rd leading cause of death in Wisconsin, not 8th.

Presenting “Software Platforms for Edge Computing” at Virtual #GartnerIO in 12:30 ET. I’ll be live on Twitter while recorded me is talking - let’s discuss!

[Tom Bittman @tombitt]

I’m leading a discussion on building an edge computing strategy Tuesday at 10:15 am ET at #GartnerIO. I’ve got a framework to discuss, but hoping this is more interactive. Join me!

[Tom Bittman @tombitt]

@dct_whittaker And where are yours?

[Tom Bittman @tombitt]

Attending Virtual Gartner IOCS #GartnerIO this week from the comfort of your home office? Prove it.

[Tom Bittman @tombitt]

@zehicle Totally. Still mostly led by biz or plant ops. But as strategy and extensibility issues have grown, IT is getting more involved proactively. #GartnerIO

[Tom Bittman @tombitt]

If you’re attending virtual #GartnerIO this week, I’m planning to be live on Twitter during my sessions. Today at 2:30 ET, “Edge Computing in Action” - a discussion of use cases, and the impact of COVID-19. Let’s discuss!
