Many organizations today still misinterpret the role of the CIO as a ‘head of IT’ – the computer guy, stowed away in a back office while the business units make the business decisions that matter. However, as the business world continues to rely on information to provide their competitive advantage, that perception is being rightly challenged. Technology alone doesn’t differentiate a business from its competitors – but data can, which is why the CIO is such a critical part of the senior management team.
2017 will be a critical year for the CIO. We are in the midst of a major technological revolution, and as businesses face unprecedented technological transformation and new generations enter the workforce, the CIO will play a crucial role in the ongoing challenge to ensure their organizations stay competitive in the marketplace.
In many organizations, IT support seems to follow a corollary of Moore’s Law in which the number of support tickets — rather than the number of transistors — doubles every two years. Even companies that experience slower growth find that tickets ultimately proliferate and threaten to overwhelm their IT support teams if they haven’t kept their ticket management systems and processes up to date. You can avoid that fate by following the 10 steps below to keep tickets manageable, resolve them quickly and provide an amazing help desk and ticket management experience.
Many organizations are unaware that the back door to their networks is swinging wide open due to poor SSH user key management. When they become aware, they are likely to enter a three-stage process of denial, resistance and adaptation. Awareness begins with the answer to this question: Who is responsible for the provisioning, revocation and recertification of SSH user key-based access in your organization? If you answered this question with a shoulder shrug or a forced grin, you may be in denial or partial denial – and that can spell disaster for your network.

As a long time Java developer, I’ve always depended on the Maven build process to automatically publish my artifacts to a Nexus Repository Manager. This automated process was made possible thanks to some very useful plugins — specifically, the Maven plugin for Nexus staging and the Maven Deploy plugin. Both made publishing of artifacts to Nexus Repository Managers remarkably simple as the final step of a Maven build.
How do we move forward in a world where Moore’s Law no longer holds true? For five decades, Gordon Moore’s famous prediction about processing power doubling about every two years held firm. It was a reliable sort of constant as innovators continued to increase the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits. But all good things must come to an end, and Moore’s Law has been confounded by another, more immutable law: physics.
Despite significant advancements in the answering services industry, particularly with the growth of live virtual receptionists and internet-platform answering services, the industry still somewhat lives in the past. “If people think about an answering service they kind of still think that there’s one person sitting by one telephone trying to answer phones,” said Dan L’Heureux, Executive Director of the Southern Telemessaging Association, who frames the archetype of the answering services industry as existing in an age before cell phones and the Internet.
Organizations are harnessing mobile devices to change the way they work. To explore this issue, Deloitte recently released its 2016-2017 Global CIO Survey. The firm surveyed or interviewed 1,217 global CIOs, a process that helped shed light on a CIO’s ability to create value for the business. The survey noted that this digital shift requires large transformations in back-end technologies, legacy IT systems, IT culture, skills and capabilities – and that CIOs are better positioned than any other occupant of the C-suite to drive digital across the entire organization.

Experts estimate that at least 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are produced every day. That’s an astronomical amount of data to be stored. One study revealed that managing storage growth is the dominant pain point for 79 percent of IT professionals. To help remedy this situation, VMware released its virtual SAN in March of 2014. Almost three years after its introduction, where is it now?
Retention is often talked about among IT professionals and organizations, given the ongoing transformations in the industry – which show no signs of slowing down. As outdated practices are replaced with newer technology trends, IT providers that aren’t agile enough to adapt their service offerings to the modern IT climate may get the boot from their customers. More often, IT providers find themselves fired for reasons related to the relationship, rather than the quality of the service itself.

The reality is mid-sized workloads exist in businesses of all sizes.
The direction of technology both follows and influences the direction of business. The tools enterprises need to compete, improve, adapt, solve problems, and succeed are supplied by technology. Sometimes, technology even supplies new opportunities, such as when a technological advance leads to the creation of a new marketplace. The Internet is by far the most powerful example of this in the past 50 years.
According to industry analysts, more than 50 percent of IT spending will be cloud-based by 2018.

Skyrocketing demand for cloud services has brought many different types of technology suppliers into the cloud IT services delivery game, ratchet-ing up competition.
