The Internet inside the enterprise: We don’t have it, and we need it

By Dion Hinchcliffe on November 3, 2014

Innovation Alone Isn’t Enough

By Michael Fauscette on August 14, 2013

Earlier this week BlackBerry announced that it was seeking a buyer or strategic partner as a way forward and out of its multi-year decline.

The Government-ization of IT. #bigdata #cloud

The Government-ization of IT. #bigdata #cloud

By Sameer Patel on July 8, 2013

When Will Your Job Be Consumerized?

By Bob Warfield on June 2, 2011

It’s become all the rage to talk about the Consumerization of IT in the last few years.  There are a lot of definitions of what the term means.  Those who are looking to downplay it somewhat will toss out the idea that it’s copying consumer web technology into business software.  One gets the idea that […]
