        <description><![CDATA[Thanks Jason for the article.  As it relates to ERP, I recommend that IT Should Move Up the ERP Value Chain.  A key challenge in my role as an IT ERP Director was to maximize business value with a shrinking budget.  It was quite an education for a person with the majority of his experience in Tier I ERP Consulting.  There are many options competing against IT organizations in providing ERP services (SaaS, Cloud, Off-shore and Near-Shore support models).  Two key battlegrounds are ERP software development for customizations and ERP support.  Show me an IT organization whose key competitive advantage is that they are internal and I will show you a shrinking IT department!  There must be a major shift in ITs value proposition for ERP support.  In the next sections we will discuss some of the shifts IT ERP shops need to make to stay competitive and relevant.http://gbeaubouef.wordpress.com/2012/08/17/it-erp-value-chain/]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I can't believe we are not talking about Flash storage in the Hottest IT Trends of 2012. I do not think there is a hotter trend. Even Forbes claimed 2012 a the year of Flash! EMC, IBM have already made acquisitions. The rest of the incumbents must follow. Flash will be bigger than dedupe and all other technologies before it. The innovation from the start ups in this space is changing the game.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[During the past few years, I've likewise noticed a trend to make nouns out of verbs.  &quot;The submit was successful.&quot;  &quot;He participated in the install.&quot;  What the heck ever happened to &quot;submission&quot; and &quot;installation&quot;?  I know that English is a living language, and we should not be too adverse to welcoming new words and new trends into the language.  However, I'm not convinced that these aberrations in the English language are intended to make the language more interesting or more useful.  Instead, I think they are just a matter of sloppiness.  Regardless of one's reason for doing so, transforming verbs into nouns and nouns into verbs just grates on my nerves.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This is a shocking article and only adds to the reason why IT should be taken out of the hands of many and put into a few (again). Instead of asking IT professionals you come up with a heap of new *BUZZ words* to confuse your readers for a time.  And that is the hottest IT trend. Does the pro section get this kind of dribble?Project management (5) and Data mining (2) have been around longer than IT and just because you keep changing the names does not change how they work.3-4 same again new terms for a relatively old idea and economics drives them not IT.That leaves the cloud. If you think about it long enough this one has been around since the beginning of networks.Anyone recognise this (-rwx------)?The cloud is defiantly needed for all the people who do not understand what the term backups means.It will also reduce the need for every business needing so many IT staff (economic influence again). Before the cloud settles into our everyday life there will be some agonising disasters because that is how IT progresses.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[On my computer with Windows 8, it take 5 secs to boot. Close enough to instant for me! I'd say check into Windows 8 to see what has changed for yourself - ignore the naysayers and keep an open mind and you may be amazed.I too have a mix of mobile and desktop solutions. Each has its place. Mobile devices just allow us to work more often, not work better. Is that really a great idea?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I think the real work will end up. What concerns me most is how many IT people will be shafted because market people convince CEOs to go that way and then blame the IT people for not making it work the way the market people envisioned it, despite anyone with real tech knowledge knowing the market dreams are pure dream and not reality based.I also wait in dread to see how many people go down some of those trends only to find themselves in court for major violations of laws they knew nothing about until after being bit by them due to listening to the market people. Third issue will be the people screwed over by big data  resulting in their data not being available while the whole lot is locked down during a legal investigation into someone else's suspected criminal activities.Lots of legal and technical mines littering all of this, and nearly all totally ignored by the market people whose only focus is their commission of selling the CEOs on going their way.]]></description>
