The whole IT world is talking SMAC: social, mobile, analytics and cloud. 99 out 100 industry analysts agree that these are the major trends that are affecting everything. The big question is are they actually changing everything? That is one of the current points of discussion in the product development and innovation space, where some claim we are undergoing yet another industrial revolution. SMAC is combining with new fabrication methods, like 3D printing, and industrial organization schemes (enabled by social technology) to cause some shakeups, perhaps even causing some disintermediation (I love that word). But is this a revolution? Being a geek I often return to first principles like the dictionary in these situations. Dictionary.com provides the following definition: In this case, the “established government or political system” is the dominant PLM paradigm. While I admit, there are some skirmishes on some fronts, the revolution will not be televised any time soon, but

Rand Worldwide announced that its Rand Secure Data division continues to demonstrate that a comprehensive data governance strategy is the key to planning an effective and foolproof strategy for data governance. As companies look to map out their organizational goals for the 2014 calendar year, more than 90% cite that the development of a new or enhanced data governance strategy is a key initiative. Rand Secure Data recommends that companies looking to create a comprehensive strategy for business continuity should involve key stakeholders from IT, legal and executive teams and should also consider a strategy that encompasses three core data governance technology solutions; archiving, backup and eDiscovery.    “It is imperative to have a comprehensive strategy when it comes to data governance and retention,” commented Chris Grossman, senior vice president of enterprise applications at Rand Worldwide. “Historically companies have felt safe knowing their data was simply backed up, but recently in instances of litigation
