Keep Your Perspective on Platform Costs
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

As a server industry analyst, which I do in addition to my job as an editor and reporter in the IT industry, I spend a fair amount of my time listening to the technical jibjabbing and marketing jawboning of the major and minor players in the server market. I also often do original marketing, technical, and economic research for various platforms, and then do a fair amount of jibjabbing and jawboning myself. I can't help myself, any more than server engineers and marketeers can. READ MORE >

 

The iSeries Goes to Town in Local Government
by Mary Lou Roberts

OK, you admit it. You were going a tad over the speed limit on your way to pick your kids up from soccer practice. At least the city is making it easy to pay that ticket online.

Shaking IT Up: Preemptive Listening, a Tool of Tools
by Kevin Vandever

From the time they get out of bed in the morning until they hit the pillow at night, savvy corporate professionals live life at a tremendously demanding pace. It doesn't matter if they are married, single, or somewhere in between, they seem to move faster than the speed of sanity. But that's to the untrained eye. Those of us in the know realize that corporate professionals are more productive and efficient than their snail's pace counterparts. We also know that to succeed at such a pace, these professionals have to rid themselves of character flaws and replace them with attributes aimed at helping to win the day. One such positive attribute is preemptive listening. READ MORE >
