Understanding Effective Change Management - Effective change management becomes even more critical in a down economy, writes ITSM Watch columnist George Spafford of Pepperweed Consulting. The economy is in the doldrums, budgets are shrinking and management wants more accomplished. Not a good job-security recipe to say the least. In the middle of this quagmire there are still some fundamental principles that hold true.

Home Page of Dr. Ravi Batra - What should we do? The current problem is not with banks and financial institutions, but in the housing market. So the remedy should be applied there and nowhere else.

Steve Ballmer talks up the cloud

I couple of days ago I had a talk with one of the major IT consultancy companies in the Netherlands. When asked what I thought was one of the big trends in IT. Without hesitating I answered that in my opinion that was Cloud computing. It seems this trend is now really taking off.

When I was at the Google office a couple of years ago there was an interesting picture on a whiteboard in one of the meeting rooms. This picture was a visualisation of Google OS, long before the launch of Google Apps !.

So you could say that now Microsoft is coming on board as well we are heading to a new Operating System. Windows Cloud ?
