| Hello and welcome to the Computerworld UK weekly digest. It's been a busy week, with two of our reporters in Salt Lake City and San Francisco to cover Pluralsight LIVE and Boxworks, plus how the airline Lufthansa is making APIs central to its business and some news from the world of open source. But first, our editor Scott Carey interviewed Reinhard Lanegger, senior venture department manager at Lufthansa Innovation Hub to find out more about how the German airline is using APIs. Lanegger reveals how Lufthansa uses customer data and APIs for booking, timetabling, flight status, seat maps - and is even considering new revenue streams like targeting theatre-goers through ticketing websites. Enterprise storage company Box revealed at its Boxworks conference in San Francisco how its new features aim to combat 'content fragmentation', with new activity streams for files, integration with Google's G Suite, and intelligently curated lists for recommended apps. See what outspoken CEO Aaron Levie had to say here. plus details on the new nuts and bolts within Box's platform from Jeetu Patel, chief product officer at the company. And you can compare how arch rivals Dropbox and Box stack up as the best for your business in our in-depth product comparison here. Meanwhile, Pluralsight released a new machine learning-powered learning platform called Role IQ, designed to help organisations re-skill or up-skill their workforce with customised learning. The platform allows for deep customisation, and while it won't plug that 'skills gap' on its own, it could well help. Open source cloud platform Openstack's 18th iteration, Rocky, was released this week, and it aims to build on automation, upgrades and usability. Executive director of the Openstack Foundation Jonathan Bryce talks Computerworld UK through its key features, and offers a glimpse of what's in store for the future. Lastly, quantum researcher at IBM Ali Javadi explained the open source quantum computing framework Qiskit, which developers can use to access a real quantum device on the cloud. |
