Today's Story Highlights

Feds Put Big Money Into IT Innovations
The U.S. government spends tens of billions of dollars each year just to
make sure that computer and data processing systems keep functioning on
a day-to-day basis. With so much investment allocated for operations and
maintenance of legacy systems, it makes sense that far fewer dollars are
available for cutting-edge information technology investment -- also
known as "DME" spending.

Importance of a System
I was telling a friend recently about some of the ideas in my book,
Solve for the Customer . He was interested in my belief that customer
science has evolved from a general emphasis on process in business,
especially in the back office. His company does a lot to ensure that its
customers are happy and loyal, because their business involves long-term
relationships and agreements that renew for many years at a time.

New Facebook Marketing Tool Chews Up Data, Spits It Out
Facebook has launched Topic Data, a new service that reveals to
advertisers the subjects users discuss, the products they use, and the
activities they follow. Marketers will be able to sift through data
compilations of what users say about events, brands, subjects and
activities. Data on all of Facebook's 1.3 billion users will be used --
anonymized and aggregated to protect their identities.

BlackBerry, IBM, Samsung Come Together on High-Price, High-Security Tablet
BlackBerry subsidiary Secusmart on Monday introduced the SecuTablet, a
high-security tablet based on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5, at the
CeBIT 2015 trade show in Dusseldorf, Germany. Developed in collaboration
with IBM, the tablet targets national and international public sector
markets and enterprises. IBM provided the secure app wrapping
technology.
