Consumerization of small business IT 20/06/2008 08:53:01
During the Altiris user conference in April, I watched a lunch panel discuss the "consumerization of IT" and whether that's a good thing. My initial thought was that it was probably bad for enterprises that want to control everything, but may be good for smaller businesses. - +
Six burning questions about network security 06/06/2008 09:56:44
Security issues often seem to smolder more than burn, but these six are certainly capable of lighting a fire under IT professionals at a moment's notice. Handle with care. - +
Microsoft to offer Web-streamed Office, combat Google Apps 28/04/2008 08:38:02
Worried by the small but growing number of small businesses and consumers switching from Microsoft Office to cheaper or free online alternatives such as Google Apps, Microsoft plans to arm a key cohort of its formidable legion of partners to help fight the threat to Office 2.0. - +
Symantec is definitely a company to watch 23/04/2008 11:21:39
Symantec seems to be one of those companies that toiled for 25 years to become an overnight success. The company has grown rapidly through mergers and acquisitions, not the least of which was systems management company Altiris in April 2007.

Why 'no Macs' is no longer a defensible IT strategy 22/04/2008 08:36:36

Younger workers and data security 14/03/2008 08:21:41
Ever had to examine one problem from two completely different viewpoints? I got to do that after speaking to the Mystery Writers of America Southwest chapter in a session called "Technology goes bad" on Saturday, then on Tuesday talking to Symantec about protecting data.

Management tools help Mac usage at enterprises 31/01/2008 08:52:09
As a senior technical support analyst at Harcourt, Randy Rowles is happy that he gets to manage the educational publisher's 1,000 or so Macintosh systems -- perhaps even a little smug, as Mac afficionados can be, about how the stability and ease of use of the systems makes his job so easy. - +
Can Macs conquer the enterprise? 11/01/2008 10:55:53
If Apple were a football team, the New England Patriots would have had some serious competition this year. - +
In memoriam: the ISV 24/12/2007 07:00:48
The world of business software continued its inexorable march toward Total Consolidation in 2007. If IBM was off the mark in 1943 when it (supposedly) predicted a world with only five computers, it might have better luck today with a similar prediction about the software industry. - +
NAC saves college time and admin headaches 28/11/2007 10:15:32
