    Alternative to allowing any old device on my network

    Wondered if anyone had heard of COPE as an alternative to the BYOD craze? I've never been convinced about BYOD myself. Not sure the added headaches it brings are justified by the alleged benefits of efficiency. In point of fact if the only benefit I get is that my employees work more hours when...

    Changing IT Systems

    I need to make some fairly wholesale changes in the IT system at work so that we can make sure we're giving our customers what they want and also, because we're pretty small, we want to stay ahead with technology because we can change it quicker than our larger competitors. The question I had...

    Still not buying BYOD

    Is anyone fully adopting BYOD? Allowing all those people to bring all those devices onto our network and access crucial data scares me to death. Our system isn't in the correct shape for that yet and I'd be interested to see anyone else's which is. Besides which I don't see the efficiency...

    Trying (and failing) to get my point across!

    I didn't actually say I was right or that they were wrong. In the context of the discussion I am having with them there is no right and wrong. I said I was trying to get them 'to see a particular point of view' - they don't have to agree with it. As to the idiot question, I was actually...

    Trying (and failing) to get my point across!

    Does anyone have any good tips on trying to persuade people to see a particular point of view? I always thought I was quite good at influencing people and explaining what I meant but I’ve come across some people who just seem to refuse to see what I’m saying. I’ve found a few pointers...

    Online aspects of starting a business

    Most new businesses have a website these days but is it worth getting more into the social media world (Twitter, LinkedIn, blogs and all that) as well? I read this article which neatly outlines the various steps to take if you want to go this route but does anyone really get any benefit out...

    Communication during change projects

    Hi KM-Tiger. I agree that stakeholder engagement is the most important thing otherwise many projects don't work. It is precisely because of this that the communication is so important. If only 10 people need to know the details you're fine as you can get them all around one table. If, however...

    Communication during change projects

    I am always amazed by how ineffectual some people's idea of worthwhile communication can be during the life of a project. I've had to lead some change management projects over the years and I'm almost obsessed with making sure that everyone who needs to know something does so, at the right time...

    Change Management

    I recently moved house and while we all know what a pain this can be, I thought I had it all figured out having done it a couple of times before. Boxes and tape were purchased, boxes were clearly labelled with the part of the house they should be taken to, vans were hired, friends were...

    mobile network operators...and the roaming

    Telecom service providers....who really has any good relationship with theirs....i'm talking roaming charges here. I like the idea costumer loosing the 'fear' of using their device abroad. I think this fear has started to become an issue with business organisations, as CFO's look at ways to cut...

    Could the cloud eradicate piracy?

    After reading Kacey Weinberg article about cloud eradicating software piracy, could cloud computing be the answer to all media piracy? Imagine a world where you can watch or listen to anything at all for one flat fee. That has to be the future and the only way forward for entertainment...

Through all the laws and licencing agreements, major companies are still fighting to make the old school buck...they are fighting a loosing battle. They should really looking towards the...

    Cloud computing game changers and CES

    Coming into 2012 I have been reading a lot of top list of what the year will offer in terms of cloud computing. There's lots of good cloud talk on the enterprise CIO forum site on the last year and what the year ahead looks like. Although, I can't help see that no one has really hit the nail...

    Recommend all-in-one social media tool

    I feel Hootsuite is the way to go, I manage 6 twitter accounts, 2 linkedin accounts and recently added a facebook account to the list. Never got into tweetdeck, but like anything its worth giving both a try and deciding for yourself. I'm sure both gave positives and negatives. There is also a...
