Kathy, my new colleague at work, has built many business relationships over the years at our workplace. On a recent conference call, she reminisced with a colleague, who quipped “You sound the same!” Nowadays, it’s only at real-life social gatherings that we get to say, “You look the same.” In the connected workplace of virtualized environments our looks and attire matter less and less.

So what does matter then? Is it just voice? I don't think so.

Cloud migration refers to the process of moving data and server workloads from physical or virtual environments into and between cloud environments. Without the right plan and solutions, migrating to the Cloud can be quite complex and costly. For medium and large enterprises, migrating to the cloud becomes a compounded effort. For example, it is very important to document what the end goal will be for the servers being targeted for the migration process. The organization needs to work towards a migration plan that will achieve the most efficiency, agility and cost savings.

For the past several days I have been pondering the news that Apple has a back door into their iOS product line allowing Apple to crack the devices that law enforcement cannot in order to aide with their investigations.

Four questions CIOs should ask before taking on a new initiative.

What, Who, How and Why?

Blog-post by Joel Dobbs, , Thu, 05/23/2013 - 00:45

In the work I do with entrepreneurs and start-up companies I find that they are frequently unable to clearly articulate their value proposition. We see this most frequently in the “pitch clinics” we conduct to help entrepreneurs prepare for business plan competitions or funding request presentations to venture capitalists.  They clearly understand their business, at least in their own mind, but have great difficulty clearly explaining it.  For instance, last year we had a young Ph.D.

Bring your own device or BYOD is a practice that continues to be hotly debated in the business world. As this discussion carries on, the trend seems to be that more and more companies are embracing a BYOD strategy. As more companies are adopting the BYOD approach, their respective IT departments are scrambling to incorporate security policies to protect the company from potential threats. These threats are very serious and with a BYOD model it is imperative that employees take the necessary steps to protect themselves and the company.

Public v. private cloud is not the issue. It's cloud complexity.

Hybrid delivery becoming the norm for large enterprises.

More and more articles point to the uptake of cloud in enterprises. And, if I believe the interactions I have with CIOs, it is definitely the case. The big question is whether to go private or public cloud. That, in my mind, is the wrong question. I’ve already mentioned several times that “one size does not fit all” when we talk about the cloud.

Dual-Persona smartphones not a BYOD panacea

Users will invariably mix "work" and "personal"

Quick Post by John Dodge,

With perhaps the most insighful and ahead-of-the curve reporting about BYOD, CIO.com's Tom Kanshige raises the issue of two colliding worlds on smart phones - work and personal. His latest story raises an obvious point: what happens when someone saves a work white boards, for instance, to the personal side of their smart phone? Or what happens when they post photos of the kids to their work side of the phone?
