Should your company hire a Chief Data Officer? | Enterprise CIO Forum - 0 views

  • Today, every business is a data business. If you’re a manufacturer of consumer goods, supply chain is absolutely central to what you do, and that’s software. It is all about data. That’s the back end. On the front end, social is absolutely critical if you’re in a consumer-facing business. This makes me recollect Geoffrey Moore’s notion about the implications of systems of engagement for corporations. Systems of engagement—such as Facebook, Google, and so on—generate vast amounts of information about consumer behavior. 
  • And this is why enterprises are hiring CDOs. The information in systems of engagement becomes absolutely critical to large-scale successful consumer businesses. If you’re not leveraging it, then your competitor will outpace you in terms of customer knowledge.
  • CDO wears two hats. On one hand, the CDO is responsible for securing the customer data that’s inside the enterprise. In markets where the privacy laws are extremely strict (such as Germany or Canada), that’s a serious responsibility. At a global company, the CDO must manage consumer data at different levels in different countries in different ways, or creating an enterprise standard for data management globally that reflects the toughest regulation anywhere, which is what HP does.

  • The CDO must also deal with this new opportunity to exploit the much larger range of customer information that exists outside the enterprise. The challenge is to link customer information outside the enterprise with the information that’s inside, and do it in such a way that your data doesn’t leak. You want to run your analytics externally—on Facebook’s platform, for example, because it’s impossible to bring all of Facebook’s customer behavior information into your internal systems. So you never want to pass anything out, but you don’t want to bring everything in. It becomes a game of sophisticated integration.

    "How to send an email from apex 4.2 and 11g XE To accomplish sending an email from your Oracle Apex application using oracle database 11g r2, you must use the new DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN package to grant connect privileges to any host for the APEX_040200 database user. To start things off, begin by installing a free mail server emulator in your development environment. I used Melon 1.0 that can be downloaded from http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Servers/E-mail-Servers/Viktor-Melon.shtml. After unpacking the archive just place the folder anywhere in your file system. The sample mails sent will be stored in the .Melon sub directory. Secondly connect to the database as sys user and run the following script: DECLARE   ACL_PATH  VARCHAR2(4000); BEGIN   -- Look for the ACL currently assigned to 'localhost' and give APEX_040200   -- the "connect" privilege if APEX_040200 does not have the privilege yet.   SELECT ACL INTO ACL_PATH FROM DBA_NETWORK_ACLS    WHERE HOST = 'localhost' AND LOWER_PORT IS NULL AND UPPER_PORT IS NULL;      IF DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.CHECK_PRIVILEGE(ACL_PATH, 'APEX_040200',      'connect') IS NULL THEN       DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ADD_PRIVILEGE(ACL_PATH,      'APEX_040200', TRUE, 'connect');   END IF;   EXCEPTION   -- When no ACL has been assigned to 'localhost'.   WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN   DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.CREATE_ACL('local-access-users.xml',     'ACL that lets users to connect to localhost',     'APEX_040200', TRUE, 'connect');   dbms_network_acl_admin.assign_acl('local-access-users.xml','localhost'); end; The third step is to set the smtp settings in Apex. 1.    Log in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services. If your setup uses the embedded PL/SQL gateway, go to: http://hostname:port/apex/apex_admin 2.    Click Manage Instance. 3.    Under Instance Settings, click Instance Settings. 4.    Under Email, enter the following: 1.    SMTP Host Address - Defines the server
