One of the things we talk about at Gartner is how computerization is changing business – not just back office systems (HR, CRM), but from a fundamental product perspective. I can remember discussing with my business colleagues (at an insurance company in the 1990s) what a treasure trove the collection of OBD (on board diagnostic) [...]

I can’t say enough about the Erik Wahl keynote – evidenced by the crowd jumping out of [...]

By now we are starting to get a pretty good idea how the device market is shaping up, and the implications to Enterprise IT. Let’s look at it from another gear head device market: Automobiles. Phones become phones again, with added value and uses. With the expansion of the tablet market, I expect a decreased [...]

I have the Outlook Social Connector on my work Outlook email, and it has had some interesting side effects. For the Facebook neophyte, that hasn’t paid attention to privacy settings, I now see work colleague’s Facebook posts. Do I really need to see you dressed in a chicken outfit for your nephews birthday party? Or [...]

For close to a decade now, I have been attending the annual MIT CIO conference . Always a delight to bump into old friends, and get some new perspective. Our own Mark McDonald led a panel discussion, and it was great to see him there. I never fail to walk away with some (unsubstantiated) nuggets [...]

I keep getting interesting stories from folks about the “Find My iPhone” app, so I thought I would add mine, and maybe extrapolate what I think the moral of the story is for Enterprise “Bring Your Own Device” strategies, and Mobile Device Management (MDM).

I love how the fragmentation of communication is actually moving away from appropriate use, and moving to duplicative use, amplifying the total volume of messages on the planet — while real content or (more accurately) unique thought is growing in proportion to population growth – no small number by itself. This has probably been a [...]

Back from the Gartner Catalyst conference last week. I was on stage six times over the course of four days, not to mention the numerous customer meetings we had. Two things stuck out in my mind from this years conference: “Mobility” is the new “Cloud” and Everyone is worried about IT Our mobility sessions (chaired [...]

There is no question that the new form factor for personal computing – the tablet – is changing how many businesses use IT devices to interact.
