corelynx just created content Dealing With Cloud Data Vulnerability

One of the biggest hindrance in way of embracing cloud is data security. In cloud the data is stored in a shared resource pool where the infrastructure is made available to all the users indiscriminately. Since the data is hosted in a virtualized space outside the physical in-house data server it becomes vulnerable to violation if not properly monitored and secured. When cloud offers distinct advantages over traditional in-house IT model it has its share of disadvantages too.

pcalento just commented on Opinion: Google Glass, while in Applications

Opinion: Google Glass, while interesting, represents the OPPOSITE of the CoIT trend. It is not cool outside of the early adopter segment.

Do wearables represent an opportunity? Sure, especially as they impact other parts of an organization's current investment, like physical security, as a keycard replacement.

Much like the smartphone world was defined by "before iPhone" / "after iPhone", the true catalyst of the wearables revolution hasn't been identified. It is NOT Google Glass. However, have no doubt that Gen 1 of Google Glass will inevitably prime the market for a better, probably different, more consumer offering.

corelynx just created content How to Be a Smart Buyer of ERP Software: Vendor Selection

The success of ERP project implementation depends largely upon the integrity of your vendor. The performance of the software will be grossly impacted by the level of services offered by the vendor and the contract drawn between you. A study conducted to discover the reasons of high ERP project flops has also accused poor vendor selection as one of the culprits.

Finding the Business Value in Big Data is a Big Problem (from CIO.com)

Thu, 09/13/2012 - 20:05

Interesting perspective from several IT managers at Computerworld's BI & Analytics Perspectives.

While I agree that the challenge of "collecting massive volumes of data from different sources is finding new business uses for it," it also speaks to the OPPORTUNITY of Big Data.

Plus, they wouldn't call it "work" if it was easy. Big Data is a strategic opportunity and should not be overlooked.
