5 Criteria that help crystallize an industry-wide standard for Cloud Service Providers

In this Wall Street Journal CIO Report, Charles Weaver, CEO of the International Association of Cloud and Managed Service Providers (MSPAlliance), details various criteria to be considered when evaluating cloud service providers. Weaver suggests that we must have a globally accepted, universal standard and code of behavior in place for cloud service providers. Hello there, cloud regulation!

Even though the general criteria used to evaluate service providers do apply to cloud service providers, the standard Weaver proposes must proactively address areas of concern specific to cloud computing.

Success story of SOA – Nadhan’s Top 5 secrets

ZDNet blogger, Joe McKendrick states that the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) market grew faster than expected based upon a survey by Companies and Markets. According to this survey, SOA represents a total global market value of $5.518 billion, up from $3.987 billion in 2010 – or a 38% growth.

Highlights from the IDC MFP MarketScape 2012 report

I’ve blogged previously about how Managed Print Services (MPS) is a proven strategy to reduce print related costs up to 30% -- see my previous articles about how Merck is saving 30% while increasing services and security and the GAO projects that the Federal Government could save $440 million annually through MPS. In light of the latest IDC MFP MarketScape report, I think it’s worthwhile to share some highlights on the latest reviews of the devices, MFP’s, which are central to a successful MPS deployment.
