As the year draws to a close, many companies are left wondering what next
year will bring for this year's hottest technology trend - cloud computing.
To answer these questions, Appirio today released its top 10 predictions for
how cloud computing will evolve in 2009 and the impact those trends will have
on IT and business.
Appirio's predictions reveal that in spite of our current economy, cloud
computing will continue to see strong growth and investment over the next
year - a prediction that industry analysts agree with as well. As more and
more companies like Flextronics, Genentech and Harrah's publicly discuss
their experience with cloud computing, it will pave the way for even more
adoption over the coming year.
"This year cloud computing made the leap from an interesting proposition to a
viable option for even the largest of enterprises. In 2009 it becomes

Websense has revealed the findings from a global survey of 1,300 information
technology managers across ten countries, asking about their perceptions of
Web 2.0 in the workplace, testing their understanding of Web 2.0 technologies

Have you ever been given the task of building and executing an aggressive
customer outreach program?
Well I received my assignment about a year ago and trust me; the budget was
not commensurate with the assigned goal.
My particular need was to educate prospective Federal government customers on
a new information technology trend.
Known as cloud computing, this new approach blends service oriented
architecture (SOA), virtualization technologies and a "pay-by-the-use" sales
approach into a new IT delivery business model.
Although this new approach promised the delivery of better constituent
service at a reduced cost, risk adverse Federal agency decision makers needed
to know much more before they would even consider cloud computing as an
option.
During a time of economic collapse and fiscal crisis, competing security,
governance and procur... (more)

Most socialites using twitter would quickly tell you that repeated messages
from the same user is quite annoying. The average business person is
thinking, How do i get one and which one is the best for my company. To fully
understand the answer you would have to define your objectives. Twitter has a
nifty search feature which allows you to not only search for basic market
segments but further allows for an advance target demographic down to a
particular city, country, person. If you're business needs to find out if a
product could be sold in london england,
Twitter allows you to search for a specific keyword, term in that city at a
specific date or time to see if anyone is talking about your market segment
giving the CEO more insight to whats really happening in real time. Softwares
such as Tweep software, a Twitter Marketing Software allows ju... (more)
According to AdvisorTweets, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc.
(FINRA) says the delay is needed to reconcile comments from their
membership.
As reported in DBJ Associates, the industry is taking a closer look at social
media as sales literature because advisors and investors want to have a hand
choosing the communications forms they prefer. "The cost of not communicating
to advisors and clients through their preferred vehicles (social media) does
not make a lot of long-term business sense." Mr. Johnston said recently.
FINRA has no intention of addressing the social media question directly.
In fact, the term "social media" appears nowhere in both the text of the
new rule, nor Regulatory Notice 09-55, the comment notice.
The notice invites interested readers to contact FINRA and weigh in on
whether readers think social media used for financial marketing pur... (more)
The Swiss pyschologist Carl Jung believed that many experiences perceived as
coincidence were due not merely to chance, but instead suggested the
manifestation of parallel events or circumstances reflecting this governing
dynamic. He even gave this occurrence of multiple events which occur in a
meaningful manner a name, he called it "synchronicity."
There is a school of thought that views "Web 2.0" as nothing more than a
marketing term in search of a meaning. I do not agree. Clumsy as the term
itself may be, it resonates with enough people using and harnessing the Web
in their life and their work to make discussions about its merits as a
lexicon item moot. Even Cisco's chairman and CEO, John Chambers, is happy now
to give Web 2.0 the endorsement of the ruler of routers, the sultan of
switches; and when Cisco Systems, with a market cap of about $165 billion,
gives a ... (more)
T.L. Neff, is an EVP at Pyxis Mobile in charge of customer services. We
met last year when we both spoke at the same conference. T.L. lives in the
Boston area and is an expert in mobility. Last week we were able to
schedule some time together for an interview.

Kevin: What mobile device(s) do you use and carry? TL: BlackBerry Torch,
iPhone 4, iPad and laptop.

faster on FaceBook than on email) and Skype Mobile.

After uproar from privacy-concerned users, Apple now requires apps to
explicitly tell you when it accesses your address book. Guess what? When an
app like Twitter or Facebook asks if you’d like it to find your friends
using your address book, that’s where it gets the contact information.
It’s not magic. In other news, the Fair Labor Association began its
investigation into the working conditions... (more)
Last week in Scottsdale, AZ I met with the CTO of Cognizant, Raj Bala to
record a video on the work he is doing around M2M (machine to machine) and
the Internet of Things. It is my belief that the Internet of Things and
enterprise mobility are quickly converging and that all companies will need
to have a plan and strategy for taking advantage of this trend. Enjoy!
