Simple yet Effective
TweetI often debate with friends in the IT industry on the merits of chasing business in the SMB. Lots of friends agree that the growth in the SMB sector continues to be strong but they argue that re-designing existing products for SMB’s has proven to be less than a profitable venture. I disagree with the [...]
Data Theft is a Human Problem
TweetI have been out on the road the past few weeks but I am glad to be back. I was reading about the latest data theft at Boeing today. A disgruntled employee with the intent of hurting his employer placed sensitive data on a thumb drive with the hopes of leaking it to a local [...]
Using Aesop’s Fable for ITIL
TweetA former colleague called me this morning with a variety of gossip news on the industry and mentioned that ITIL v3 is scheduled for release next week. You probably have the same experiences dealing with colleagues who mention an acronym or other catchy slogan without any real knowledge of the term. I succumbed to the [...]
Tired of the Big Four’ Complacency
TweetI’ve written about this before and after reading this latest review by Denise Dubie of Network World I couldn’t resist. If your currently a network and operations management customer of a Big 4 vendor, namely HP, BMC, CA or IBM your likely as upset as 640 of your colleagues and looking for a change in [...]
Move Away From the Nabobs of Negativity
TweetI admittedly stole the headline from the direct and welcomed article written by Art Wittman, Editor for Network Computing, writing on the topic of security concerns with virtualization. Well-balanced security professionals know how organizations can dynamically balance the parallel goals of IT performance with security concerns. Still, the “negatites” (negative, often academic technologists) roam in [...]

Last night I read the follow-up [...]
“Dell-Hell” is “Heavenly”
TweetIf you’ve been researching the internet for a new laptop or desktop in the past year, you’ve likely run into Jeff Jarvis’ blog about his less than impressive experience with Dell Computers. The blog series caught so much attention that it eventually earned the serial name “Dell-Hell”. The blog series eventually became a topic at [...]
Trust Your Team as Well as Your Systems
TweetBreach, which is set for release in a few weeks, focuses on the true story of an FBI upstart who must investigate his boss who is suspected to be selling secrets to the Soviet Union. For those of you who read the story in paperback or in weekly new journals, a strong lesson materializes in [...]
Making Your Pipe Greener
TweetMaking Your Pipe Greener Your reaction to this post may vary depending on your ‘green’ view. I am not a ‘green’ fanatic by any means but I actively try to do my part to keep the place we call home (earth) safe for the next generation. Bombarded daily by environmental commercials, I am also afraid [...]
Listen to the Name by Which Customers Call You
TweetIf experience is the name, we use to describe our mistakes then Ipswitch and specifically the WhatsUp brand has gained lots of experience in the past 2 years. In 2005, after nearly a decade of building a brand with the name WhatsUp Gold that is still the envy of product competitors of all sizes, Ipswitch [...]
