Bridging the Chasm Between IT and the Business

Bridging the Chasm Between IT and the Business

By Ben Kepes on January 18, 2013

People go to great lengths to explain how cloud computing is democratizing IT and enabling the end-users of technology to make some decisions themselves about what they use, how they use it and how quickly they can get set up. A plethora of enterprise vendors have got their start in

BMC Launches MyIT – Bridging the IT/Business Divide

By Ben Kepes on November 1, 2012

Cross posted from the BMC blog. I spend most of my time talking to technology vendors, IT folks and business people all in an effort to drive organizational benefits through the use of technology. Over years of doing this, I’ve noticed a stark divide that exists within an organization between

GreenQloud and Xeround Launch Cloud Database on 100% Renewable Energy

GreenQloud and Xeround Launch Cloud Database on 100% Renewable Energy

By Ben Kepes on October 29, 2012

A year or two ago a minor storm circled around the cloud community after a report was published questioning the environmental impacts of cloud computing.

Cloud – It’s Not About Cost

Cloud – It’s Not About Cost

By Ben Kepes on June 1, 2012

Every time someone tells me that cloud computing is all about cost savings, I want to go somewhere dark to jump up and down and clench my fists. Yes, I know we all have stories of horrific IT costs spinning out of control and failed IT projects and yes, often times cloud is a panacea […]

Cloud is Simple. Well, It’s Real Complex but that Complexity Can, and Should, be Hidden from Users.

By Ben Kepes on February 15, 2012

It was started by an awesome post from James Urquhart admonishing people to accept the fact that Cloud is complex and to simply deal with it.
