Mobile Handset DesignLine: Create seamless mobility throughout your enterprise
“Being mobile is more the norm than ever before. Use of mobile handsets to meet enterprise mobility requirements seems to be a partial answer, but only addresses one part of the overall requirements: off-campus connectivity. However, there’s no seamless connectivity with the corporate information systems and often there’s limited cellular coverage inside office or public buildings. The advent of enterprise-wide Wi-Fi adoption has brought about the possibility of delivering a technology that bridges wireless carrier connectivity with on-campus WLAN connectivity—Fixed/mobile convergence (FMC).”
erp4it: ITIL is not an enterprise architecture
“ITIL reads like it was written by and for operations folks, with pretensions of covering all IT but no credibility or substance in IT strategy, planning, portfolio management, enterprise architecture, or solutions delivery.”
SearchDataCenter.com: Get to know your data center with CMDB

Network World: Program to wean developers off Coke and pizza
“Altiris in Australia has introduced an innovative staff program to try and wean the company’s software developers off Coke and pizza. The goal is to break unhealthy bad habits adopted by developers who spend long hours coding, playing computer games and sitting in front of a computer screen all day.”
Network World: Microsoft Bob was bad enough, but now BOB as an IT industry acronym
“SpongeBob SquarePants is cool, and Bob the Builder isn’t a bad guy. I can even root for ‘Smiling Bob’ on those Enzyte natural male enhancement commercials. But bastardizing BOB into a lowly IT industry acronym is just going too far. Yet that’s exactly what some industry watchers such as Forrester Research and Gartner are pushing with their shorthand for ‘branch office box’ or ‘branch office-in-a-box.’” See the “Bobs of Networking” slide show.
