When big data and the cloud first surfaced as popular business buzzwords a few years ago, they raised many questions and even some fear. How will we deal with soaring levels of data? How can we leverage that data to lift sales and spur innovation? How will we keep all that data secure? How can these new tools generate a true competitive advantage? And how will all this affect our IT workers? T…

While we have seen modest gains in organizations’ ability to attack the security gap, advanced (and not-so- advanced) threat actors continue to evolve their tactics to find a way through it . In last year’s M-Trends we noted that cyber security had gone from a niche IT issue to a boardroom priority . This year, cyber security (or perhaps more accurately, cyber insecurity) entered the mains…

QuickBooks is the best fit for many businesses on day one, but is it the right choice to enable rapidly growing businesses to sustain and accelerate growth?

In an ideal world, every multinational organisation would run its entire global operations on a single enterprise resource planning (ERP) application suite. A few do achieve this financial nirvana–but often at significant cost.

He was acting as interim manager for the project which made him ineligible for the role of neutral facilitator - he knew he had opinions about the project and wanted to contribute them.

Mobility is a hot topic these days. Regardless of industry or profession, there is a mobile application or ecosystem in development to serve it. The supply chain is no different. In fact, given its very manual and distributed nature, it is better suited to mobile application deployment than most business processes.

Browser-to-server communications for cloud-based services require SSL certificates when used to display customer account information, business partner transactions and for employee pr…
You have a thought. You want to write it down. You’re thinking your computer might be pretty good for that, but, surprise — it’s not. You need two things when you want to write. You need the words to say what you are thinking, and you need a place to put them. Before wikis, computer writing was all about the words. The computer could help you type them, spell them, hyphenate them, size…

With these words, John Finnis, while still in his late 30s, began his masterwork, Natural Law and Natural Rights—the book that would not only revive scholarly interest in the venerable, but deeply misunderstood, idea of natural law and natural rights, but also powerfully challenge dominant ways of thinking among philosophers of law and moral and political philosophers in the analytic traditio…

Dick’s 1968 dystopian science fiction novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? In his bi…
