Forrester In Your News: Browser Wars, BYOD (again!), x86 Servers, Disaster Recovery, Mobile Engagement . . .
If IBM is thinking about exiting the server business, why should you in enterprise IT stay in it? If BYOD accelerates browser diversity, how will you develop and support corporate apps differently? And how will the globalization of eCommerce impact your business?
These are just a few of the questions you might be asking yourself based on the headlines from this week. If you're looking for answers, hopefully this third installment of "Forrester In Your News" for IT Infrastructure and Operations (I&O) professionals will help.
If you missed my post from two weeks ago, here's why I'm doing this: While we like to believe that www.Forrester.com and this blog are your only two sources of information (wink, wink), we recognize that there are other valuable publications to help you stay on top of business and technology happenings. The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Reuters, CIO, InformationWeek, ZDNet, and Computerworld to name a few. LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook are also great resources.
To help I&O leaders stay current, I've handpicked news from this week that features quotes and data from Forrester’s I&O analysts and a few others. Some articles are very relevant to I&O leaders (ex. Browsers, BYOD, x86 Servers, Disaster Recovery), while others offer important marketing and strategy insights for I&O leaders to be aware of (ex. Digital Disruption, Mobile Connected Customers, Data Scientists, Online Sales Tax, eCommerce).
Is this useful? If so, I'm happy to do this weekly or every other week. Let me know in the comment field below.
Thanks and enjoy your weekend,
Doug
