The cloud 2015 vision

Cloud computing is an important transition and a paradigm shift in IT services delivery - one that promises large gains in efficiency and flexibility at a time when demands on data centers are growing exponentially. The tools, building blocks, solutions, and best practices for cloud computing are evolving and challenges to deploying cloud solutions need to be considered.

The consumerisation of technology

iPads are the must-have fad. Android is the rising mobile platform -- Everywhere you turn, the news is about personal, smart, mobile devices and their impact on business and on IT.

Desktop modernisation

On the one hand, there is the need to keep the existing desktop environment efficient, secure and running. On the other hand, there are workforce demands to use new devices and applications, to increase productivity. How can you address both of these requirements? The answer is... Desktop modernisation.

Aligning CFO and CIO priorities

Forward-thinking organisations are viewing cloud computing as an investment in business transformation, not just a way to cut costs for IT. Thanks to the cloud, CFOs and CIOs are moving beyond the “either/or” discussions that once forced them to make tradeoffs between IT cost cutting and the creation of new business agility and value.
