Count Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH) among those companies that believe IT governance done right frees up time and money. When education publishers Houghton Mifflin and Harcourt merged in 2007, IT leaders on each side knew the stakes. Sixteen million dollars of the merger's $300 million savings was to come from IT spending, says CIO Paul Wilcox. "We had to flush a significant amount of expense out of both IT groups," Wilcox says, "and still had to bring the company forward."
David Banks was working as a consultant on a risk-management project for Gulf when the company merged Cumberland Farms and Gulf Oil. It was at that moment he knew what the company needed most from him. "I put my hand up and said, 'You need a CIO.'"

If you finally caught up with Twitter and found out what all the fuss is about, you now might be wondering: what the heck is TweetDeck? In short, TweetDeck is a helpful, no-cost application that will help you get more from Twitter by sorting through messages more efficiently than the regular version of the service provided on Twitter's website.
As the open source community digs out from the patent assertion bombshell dropped by Microsoft last week, the situation appears more complex than simple bullying and heavy-handed legal threats from Microsoft against Linux and open source. (Although there was no shortage of that from Microsoft last week).
In the quest to block spam and phishing attempts, legitimate messages often end up collateral damage. Tune your spam filters up and you indeed reduce the amount of spam delivered — but you do so at the cost of false positives. Tune filters down and users are overwhelmed with spam, phishes and malware.
I hadn't heard a lot from ActivIdentity since the name change a year or so ago. You'll remember, perhaps, that in 2005 ActiveCard, the world's biggest smart card vendor, merged with Protocom Development Systems, maker of directory-enabled software products, and changed the company name to ActivIdentity. The change was to better reflect its combined hardware/software position. The company's Senior Vice President of Business Development, Ed McBeth, and I had been trying to get together for a meeting for almo
As recently as a few years ago, it was difficult to find a network organization that was concerned with application delivery but now it is top of mind for the vast majority of businesses. Because of this, we’ve written extensively on the topic and have discussed application delivery from myriad perspectives, including trying to make sense of how the key vendors compare and sorting through the relevant issues on the minds of IT organizations.
Index Engines last week announced one of the first systems for automating the e-discovery process of data from offline tape. The company's eDiscovery Edition of its Tape Engine appliance automatically performs tape data sorting and object extraction and eliminates the restoration of tapes before e-discovery can begin.
In our Jan. 19 newsletter, we proposed that the function of a "business" and a "residential" service - especially for the SOHO market - had merged sufficiently that the distinction was artificial and that there should only be one service with consistent prices and a la carte options. In particular, we used BellSouth as the example for some of the pricing differentials, and we indicated some comments about the services being essentially equal for unequal prices - especially as related to plain old telephone
Some of my readers may remember efforts during the 1990s by Compaq, HP and IBM to deliver a high-speed serial connection technology called Future I/O. Some may also recall a competing technology - Next Generation I/O (NGIO) - from a group consisting of Intel, Microsoft, and Sun. Eventually the two camps merged their efforts to work on what all commonly saw as the next generation of technology for connecting servers and storage.
Gnostic Concepts, one of the leading market research and consulting firms of its time, merged its communications and computer practices in 1984 in advance of what it perceived to be the joining of both fields into a unified communications/messaging paradigm. While that was a wise move in many ways, the only problem is that they were about 20 years too early.
Is it just sour grapes? Qwest stepped up its push for the U.S. government to impose conditions on two mergers involving four of its telecommunications competitors. During a Washington, D.C., press conference last week, Qwest repeated earlier requests for government conditions in Verizon's acquisition of MCI and SBC's purchase of AT&T. The two merged companies would dwarf other telecom companies in the U.S., with Verizon and SBC owning more than 70% of the residential long-distance market in many of the ter
AEP Systems merged with Netilla at the end of last year, signaling a new phase in the SSL remote access market - the rapid weeding out of vendors that just don't have what it takes to survive.

What would you call the merged company of Sprint and Nextel? Spextel? Nextrint? The leaders of the companies came up with a much more boring moniker when they announced the long-awaited merger this morning. And while the combined company will have $40 billion in revenue and 35 million customers, it will still only be the third largest mobile phone operator in the U.S. See our story for details as they emerge throughout the day.
Sprint, Nextel agree to 'merger of equals'

As long as I can remember, I've had an interest in computer programming. I started tinkering as a kid back in the early 1980s with a TI-99-4A and Atari XL Series (remember those membrane keyboards?), Atari STs and Apple II's. Most of that was just goofy kid stuff, sorting baseball and hockey cards and stuff that was Star Trek related.
Imagine if you could reach out and shut down a spammer, just like that. Well, Earthlink’s Louis Rush has that power, and this week Network World finds out what it’s like to be him. One of his biggest challenges is sorting out the true spammers from the hapless folks who don’t even know their machines have been turned into spam zombies.
