jdodge just created content "A good idea can be killed just by someone's frown." MIT on innovation

So it was with considerable skepticism that I would find much value in the 80 live tweets I zipped out from the MIT CIO Symposium two weeks ago. However, I was pleasantly surprised: they are rich and crisply-captured thoughts, most of which stand on their own. I'm not giving myself a pat on the back for great Tweets (yes, I am.). I confess to fixing 2-3 typos in my Tweets.

jdodge just commented on I agree, but wouldn't the CMO in IT Performance

I agree, but wouldn't the CMO and perhaps even the COO have the same problem? I also think CIO's can show ROI on some apps...also if cloud saves money (dubious, I admit) and offers faster deployments, easier access etc., haven't they proven their worth?

CFO proves worth through numbers.

RickBlaisdell just created content Private vs. Public Cloud for BI

As I mentioned before, migrating to the cloud it doesn’t have to be hard or expensive. When migrating to the cloud, there are many options including on-ramping solutions which leverage server templates provided by cloud providers; automation tools to rebuild apps into a provider’s stack; migration attempts to move servers as-is.

Google Panda and Global Search

Sun, 08/21/2011 - 19:18

Google’s Panda (aka Farmer) is now in version 3.0 and it continues to cause noticeable effects on Google pagerank and web site rankings and in turn search results and site traffic ever since it began in February. That is why CIO’s must be engaged directly on enterprise search, search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM) instead of leaving it to the marketing department.

Lease vs buy – financing IT asset acquisitions

Fri, 08/19/2011 - 19:03

The decision to lease vs. buy is a recurring challenge for CIOs struggling with financing IT equipment. Adding to the challenge is the increasing number of options to accomplish IT projects using cloud computing or vendor hosted managed services. Often CIO’s and CFO’s get tangled in the buy vs. lease decision prematurely which can lead to a bad decision with lasting effects.

IT cartels and syndicates

Fri, 08/19/2011 - 02:21

We have IT cartels! Really? Well at least that is according to outgoing US Federal CIO Vivek Kundra in his remarks before the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. Vivek said in his remarks before the council “that we almost have an IT cartel within federal IT” which is served by “very few companies” who benefit from government spending “because they understand the procurement process better than anyone else.”
