Marie Wieck is the general manager of IBM's Application and Integration Middleware organization (home of IBM's distinguished market-leading WebSphere brand) and has held a variety of technical and executive roles across our software, services, and finance groups.

Marie Wieck is general manager of IBM's Application and Integration Middleware (AIM) business unit, where she leads an organization of more than 7,500 software development, marketing, services, and sales professionals. She is responsible for IBM's WebSphere software portfolio and other strategic middleware products, including Web application servers, transaction and messaging systems, integration, and business process management solutions.

In her current role, Marie leads an organization of more than 7,500 software development, marketing, sales, and services professionals. There, she is responsible for IBM's WebSphere software portfolio and other strategic middleware products, including Web application servers, transaction and messaging systems, integration, and business process management solutions.

During our sitdown at IBM InterConnect, Marie shared some of the proceedings from her two "Hot Topic" sessions in Singapore, one on the Mobile Enterprise and the other on Business Process management.

Marie also expanded on IBM's emerging "mobile enterprise" strategy, explaining that rather than seeing mobile as another blip on the technology evolutionary radar screen, it's an opportunity to be transformative across the enterprise.

From fomenting front-line employees' opportunity to be more collaborative in the field to enabling back-office overlords to use their smartphones to watch over and manage business process management processes, IBM is working to bridge systems of record and of data together with employees and external constituents in a much more transformative story than has been communicated to date.

It's an exciting narrative, and as Marie conveyed in the interview, mobile is touching the entire IBM portfolio.

Price, Not Features, Driving Smartphone Sales

A survey by JD Powers found that customer interest in product features is lessening as phones evolve. Rather than features, price is driving purchases, and that change could have a dramatic impact on how IT departments secure these devices.

M2M: Rise of the Machines? Not Yet
David Weldon
In the 1970 science fiction thriller
Colossus: The Forbin Project, two giant supercomputers from the United States and Soviet Union secretly join forces to take control of the collective nuclear might of the two countries. In the film, the two machines discover each other's existence, communicate back-and-forth, share their collective data, and cut their human creators out of the process. It is the ultimate example of machine-to-machine communications, or M2M.
