Digital transformation: CIO / CMO and the crisis of confidence

Digital transformation: CIO / CMO and the crisis of confidence

By Michael Krigsman on July 14, 2014

A few years ago, Gartner analysts predicted, “by 2017, the CMO will spend more on IT than the CIO.” As you can see from the opening slide on their presentation (registration required) about the topic, Gartner trumpeted this prediction loudly: Although Gartner phrased its prediction to gain attention, the detailed explanatory presentation offers vague and rather inconclusive data to support the core […]

BYOD: The new battleground for CIO value

By Michael Krigsman on September 16, 2013

Today’s business users expect instant access to all work-related services and data from their personal mobile devices, challenging IT to re-think long-held ideas about infrastructure, policies, and governance. Because bring-your-own-device (BYOD) reflects massive growth in the consumerization of IT, it has become the battleground on which Chief Information Officers must demonstrate value and relevancy. This […]

The Perceived Risk of The Purely Cloud Deployment

By Ofir Nachmani on August 22, 2013

In this post series, I will raise some basic questions and will delve deeply into this topic to debate the common resistance to what I call “pure cloud deployment”.

Drivers for Cloud Adoption–CIO Research

By Ben Kepes on December 18, 2012

Interesting survey results just released that indicate cost isn’t the highest factor in cloud adoption (yay – at last people are talking more about non-cost impacts of cloud) – Respondents believe compliance requirements, value and competitive advantage are the key drivers for cloud adoption.

Private Clouds Must Be Agile

Private Clouds Must Be Agile

By Ben Kepes on October 12, 2012

I recently read a well reasoned post by HP’s Cloud CIO Christian Verstraete. In the post Verstraete reflected on a Twitter exchange he’d had responding to the claims by someone that private cloud was a myth. The private/public debate has raged for a few years now and the two sides go something like this: Opponents of private […]

ver the last few days I’ve been talking to people about the tension that exists between “traditional” and “next generation” software platforms. The discussions had their genesis in a post I wrote specifically looking at NetSuite and Oracle, but relate to a host of other vendors – Microsoft contrasted with Box. IBM contrasted with Appirio […]
