| The CIO as Change Agent | Chief executives aren't the only ones who can specialize in turning around beleaguered companies. A CIO can be a powerful agent for change, but this requires a hands-off approach, business understanding, a stable IT department, and standardization. | 2007-12-17 |

| The Gap Between Potential and Reality | People say that IT integration is getting easier. I dont buy it. The messages in the marketplace about service-oriented architectures (SOA) and Extensible Markup Language (XML) easing the challenge of integration dont match what I see every day. | 2008-03-24 |

| Enterprise Communications 2.0: Creating Competitive Advantage | An IDC survey among 100 large enterprises in the U.S. shows that 62% of these believe that the number of mobile employees in the enterprise will increase. Similarly, 40% believe that the number of virtual teams within the company will increase. In addition, a significant percentage of enterprises believe that the number of global WAN sites, the number of ways to reach a customer, and the number of teleworkers are all on the increase. The concept of Web 2.0 — explained in more depth in following sections of this white paper — is now being brought to bear as the perfect solution for dealing with collaboration and communication inefficiencies that are a result of the above. IDC argues that Enterprise 2.0 — the implementation of Web 2.0 in the enterprise — is not just about RSS, blogs, tags, and wikis, but also about voice over IP, presence, IM, and the integration of these with existing horizontal and vertical business applications. In this sense, Enterprise communications 2.0 is the sum of Web 2.0 and unified communications (UC) and enables new ways of working. | 2007-05-01 |

| Hosted IT Infrastructure Services for SMBs | Data centers and complementary security infrastructure are essential elements of any business. Whether to interact with customers, collaborate with business partners, or equip workers with access to the latest files and productivity-enhancing business applications, these critical operations require a well designed and run IT infrastructure. Too often, however, businesses conclude that the only means to have the IT infrastructure that can meet — or at least come close to meeting their business objectives — is to own and self-operate the entire IT infrastructure. To be blunt, this conclusion is inaccurate. There is a better and more economical alternative, which is known as hosted IT infrastructure, and its benefits to SMBs are overwhelming. | 2007-03-12 |

| Don't Underestimate Your Infrastructure | CIO, Carol Cotter had a bit of an advantage in developing the infrastructure for Lifespan, a not-for-profit healthcare company based in Providence, Rhode Island. Lifespan is the result of a 1994 merger between Rhode Island Hospital and Miriam Hospital. Some key ideas for the IT strategic plan of the merged hospitals came out of a three-day retreat,in which all the stakeholders were present: researchers, payers, physicians, patients, their families, administrators, employees, even competitors. The group spent time thinking about what healthcare would look like in 2010, and from those thoughts, created a vision of the future for the company's infrastructure. | 2008-04-24 |
