Skipping Seven
in The CIO Weblog, on July 13, 2009
I'm not sure I want to hop on this bandwagon yet, but it sounds like someone is already trying to start up a "Skip Seven" movement in the same way that some of us argued for skipping Vista.
I say this not because of the recent poll that indicated, quite appropriately, that some s...

Netbooks may be the new mobiles
in The CIO Weblog, on July 6, 2009
While everyone has been busy catching iPhone fever, and Blackberries have firmly entrenched themselves as must-have tools in corporate America, the consumer-oriented, scorned netbooks may be the next hot device for businesses.
Although netbooks are viewed by traditional IT types as little better th...
The Mother of all Dashboards
in The CIO Weblog, on July 1, 2009
So, after running across the CIO Dashboard of Twittering CIOs last week , I had been toying with the idea of doing a post on dashboards in general. I'm of mixed opinions on them, generally; I think it's valuable and important to have relevant metrics available as close to real-time as possi...

CIOs who tweet
in The CIO Weblog, on June 21, 2009
If you are one of those CIOs who likes to know what other CIOs are up to, then you have probably spent some time scouring the blogosphere and tools like Facebook and Twitter for accounts of other CIOs (although, really, who has time for Facebook when they are running an IT department?). If so, your ...
ROI metrics for SOA
in The CIO Weblog, on June 11, 2009
I posted a couple of weeks ago a reference to a recent Gartner study showing that some 40% of companies engaging in SOA projects do not associate ROI metrics with those projects. I posited at the time that perhaps this wasn't quite the travesty that it seemed, or that other commenters held it ...

Apps adoption not so terrible

ROI Measurement and Misunderstanding
in The CIO Weblog, on May 26, 2009
So I have a question for the audience: when you are measuring ROI on SOA projects, are you looking at just the SOA team production, or do you look at secondary effects?
That's assuming you look at ROI on your SOA projects at all; apparently 40% of companies engaging in SOA projects don't....
