RickBlaisdell just created content The Future of Cloud Migration

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.

Either initiating a new project or applying a new investment opportunity, either managing enterprise architecture or optimizing business processes, such 5W+1H navigation can streamline thinking process, analyze pros and cons, support with data, and communicate clearly in order to make right decision.

I agree....if I had GG, I step on them just like I do my regular glasses. Expensive misstep!

The headline on your post raises the most important consideration for effective BYOD. As such, I put it at the top of home page for today. Nice job and welcome to the Enterprise CIO Forum.

CIOs adjust as SSAE 16 replaces SAS70 for auditing service providers

Sat, 09/03/2011 - 00:50

SSAE No. 16 officially replaced SAS70 this summer as the audit standard for service companies. CIO’s must understand how to use the SSAE 16 standard with their IT service providers. That would include understanding the important differences of the SSAE 16 vs. SAS70.

Efficiency vs Effectiveness

Wed, 08/31/2011 - 23:37

Efficiency and effectiveness are the lexicons of improvement. Combined with productivity the three terms are used perhaps more than any others in setting targets in strategic plans, defining metrics for dashboards and balanced scorecards, and setting boundaries for acceptable operational performance.

IT strategic planning model

Tue, 08/30/2011 - 13:23

Developing an IT strategic plan is a one of the principal duties of a CIO, yet paradoxically it is the one activity that creates the most trouble for them. The real shame of it is creating an IT strategic plan can be a very straightforward and simple thing to do. Simple in that it is not a complex activity. Since I prefer to keep things both simple and easy what follows is a very straightforward, linear, strategic planning process.

VDI and business continuity

Fri, 08/26/2011 - 03:34

Regardless of the virtual desktop solution you are using VMware VDI, Citrix VDI, or Ubuntu VDI, or even if you decided to just use a VDI in a box solution, helping your users update their business continuity plans (BCP) for VDI is an absolute must for every CIO. Just to be clear, I am not talking about the IT department creating a VDI disaster recovery plan or adding VDI to an existing DR program. No, this post is aimed at ensuring the users depending on VDI have a contingency plan in place to continue their operations when VDI fails – and it will.

Work life balance

Work Life Balance for IT Professionals

Achieving a work life balance has growing popularity for several years now. It is widely viewed as being one of the critical strategies for organizations looking to attract and retain top talent. That strategy includes flexible working hours and a commitment to supporting employee participation in activities that improve their quality of life and overall balance in life. The ultimate goal of course is to increase the work life balance as part of increasing job satisfaction for men and for women.
