    Telepresence Promises Productive Meetings 01 September, 2008 15:09:00

    Telepresence promises global meetings a step up from videoconferencing that are as productive as face-to-face encounters
    The travel budget needs cutting, says the CFO. The corporate -social responsibility people say we have to take this green agenda seriously. HR reports that the latest polls have executives bleating about how much time they're spending on planes. Smaller local subsidiaries think they're not getting enough face time with company leaders. What are you going to do? For some CIOs, the answer lies in a relatively new concept called telepresence.

    Greener IT Means Benchmarking 19 May, 2008 08:40:32

    Greener the better
    Green IT is about retooling business processes and the ICT environment to reduce energy consumption and the organisation's carbon footprint. Happily, this coincides with increasing pressure to improve operational efficiencies and reduce processing costs. Thus, an improvement at the bottom line can also enhance a company's green credentials - a development that is becoming both a legislative requirement and a competitive differentiator.

    The Fragility of Road-Warrior Security 21 May, 2007 10:37:46

    Over the past few months, I have heard one horror story after another about the most obvious and blatant form of security issue — reading a neighbor's laptop screen
    It is often said that the weakest link in the IT security chain is the human being. In our technological age it is inconceivable to travel without network tethers such as a laptop PC, mobile telephone or e-mail PDA. The road warrior is connected 24/7 to his home, corporate office/clients/partners and the Internet. What has occurred in the 21st century is that all of this technology is taken for granted, and security is never a primary issue or concern.

    Where's the Off Switch? 12 April, 2007 12:38:50

    Flexible work arrangements underpinned by technology can do much to improve the work/life balance — but it can also destroy it
    Slack-jawed I watched the mother of the groom, seated on the top table, whip out her mobile phone to call a relative at the back of the function centre and chat during the festivities. Admittedly it was a big wedding with guests numbering in the hundreds, but this was a new paradigm at work.
