Reviews

My second book is in production and a few reviews are already out.  Read what some people are saying about The Next Wave of Technologies.

I never would have imagined that one book could cover such a wide variety of topics in such a thorough and compelling fashion. The book is absolutely essential reading to any organization which recognizes that, in the future, appropriate use of technology is going to separate the successful organizations from the unsuccessful ones. The only way this book could have been written was to take advantage of the collective expertise of individuals with the experience to have learned what works and what doesn’t. And Phil Simon has done just that. Congratulations to Phil and his team of experts for providing the industry with a much needed book about technology, what works, and how it works.

  • Tony Fisher, CEO, DataFlux Corporation

In an age of significant information overload, where new technologies seemingly come out of nowhere, Simon’s book represents a smörgåsbord of everything busy executives need to know for the Information Age.

  • Jonathan B. Spira, CEO and Chief Analyst, Basex

The convergence of inexpensive hardware and bandwidth, the acceptance of open source solutions, and global software delivery have unleashed a torrent of innovations which are changing basic assumptions we make about enterprise technology. The Next Wave of Technologies provides a superbly curated survey of the most important areas of progressive IT thinking. It’s a valuable resource for both business and technology executives alike.

  • John L. Funge, Founder Pickle.com (acquired by Scripps Networks), Founder Clara Vista (acquired by CMGI)

The Next Wave is an especially readable examination of how emerging technologies can and will enable success in the Information Age. Simon delivers on his promise of providing practical guidance for business and IT management. Written for executives and managers by a team of hands-on subject matter experts, the book shows how to utilize–and optimize–emerging technologies with oustanding governance, project management, enterprise architecture, systems development, and leadership.

Do you ever wish you had a singular guidebook to make sense of the endless claims about the “latest and greatest” technologies constantly bombarding us? In The Next Wave of Technologies Phil Simon has crafted a valuable compendium of sage technology advice from experts in a diverse array of fields: SOA, MDM, agile, SaaS, mobile computing, social media, cloud computing, open source, and others. With concise chapters that are easy to digest, this great book is essential for helping IT and business leaders make sense of the latest advances in technologies. It’ll help you chart a course for the future. Don’t leave home without it!

If you are swimming through the technology alphabet soup of SaaS, SOA, MDM, ERM (to name a few) this book is for you! In an engaging and pragmatic way, Phil Simon provides the essentials–descriptions, advice, pitfalls and next steps–in using these and other technologies. Through his own experience and by bringing together the expertise of so many distinguished contributors, Simon delivers on his promise to help the reader understand these technologies and how, or if, they should be introduced into an organization. Simon’s style is appealing, educational, and will satisfy your hunger for clarity. Don’t miss it!

Phil Simon and his team of experts have codified their collective insights, which serve as an invaluable guide for both business and technology professionals, for not only developing a holistic understanding of emerging technologies, but also navigating the new trails they are blazing ahead of us. The Next Wave of Technologies is required reading if you wish to avoid common mistakes and realize the full potential of new technologies—especially before your competitors do.
