These individuals who had the ability to disable a TV station, even for a few hours, had to be knowledgeable about the type of security, or lack of, for this station.

If you have to wonder about how vulnerable your information is continuously, it would deter me from making this purchase.

I agree with Donald’s comment. I am also an android user, but am sure that this technology is…[Read more]

There are no clear cut solutions. So whatever needs to be done to deter these individuals from breaking the law it needs to be addressed as aggressively as possible. Good article.

I agree that a company should try this concept by experimenting with a test case before implementing to make sure it has “measurable business value.” With the Internet playing such a huge part in B2B, I cannot see how this concept cannot have business value.

Safety has been an issue with companies since corporations began mass production of services and/or products. Safety is only addressed when it affects the financial security of a company. With the intertwining of supply chains and risk management, companies have to look at how to reduce the safety risk prior to distribution of…[Read more]

This article discusses how Enterasys, a company that provides services and equipment for wired and wireless networks, recognized a need to streamline their procurement process. Enterasys did their research on various software packages and decided that Coupa, a cloud based software, provided the versatility necessary to fulfill their needs.

1.  Will more companies be as successful as Enterasys with switching from the legacy systems to cloud based software for procurement purposes.

2.  What type of assistance is necessary for companies to make the right choices when choosing the appropriate software for procurement?

3.  Will the issue with security, which is mentioned in this article, hinder businesses from jumping on the “bandwagon” in relation to cloud based procurement software?

This is a truly deep article and scary, but, unfortunately, with everything that is going on in our world, this might be considered a necessity. There are so many individuals who are bent on doing harm to other people, and although, the government is not able to keep up with all of the hackers and terrorists, I have to admit that I feel a…[Read more]

I loved the comment by the author about “Trekkies and the Holodeck” because I am a Star Trek fan and can picture this device being something that could be used on a regular basis.
