A few days ago I attended the analyst summit of one of Europe’s large
service providers and the theme of industrialization rang through very
clearly in many of the presentation and interview sessions. Those of you who
followed my earlier writings know that applying the lessons of modern
manufacturing to today’s IT, is a topic near to my heart. Back in 2004,
long before joining Gartner, I wrote an article on IT-dustrialization in CFO
magazine , followed by many blogs, later bundled in “Lean and the art of
cloud computing management”. At Gartner IT services industrialization is
covered in my area under the topic of IUS (Infrastructure Utility Services)
and I am currently working with two of my European colleagues - who have been
covering IUS for several years - on a market map and compass for this IT
industry area.
But, as mentioned earlier publishing in many cases p... (more)

Robotic surgery specialists at the University of Washington, in Seattle, are
scrubbing up a new team of mechanical medics in the shape of the new "Raven"
machines.
With wing-like arms, the Raven handles many of the same extreme precision
movements that the more expensive da Vinci Surgical System has been used for,
but at a much lower price i.e. somewhere around US $250,000 for Raven as
opposed to US $1.8 million for da Vinci.
Why do we need robotic surgeons?

faster.
Raven is also the first surgical robot... (more)
