Good point - we should have a know-how person in the enterprise, who has hands-on experience about security related technologies and the understanding about corportate security. CIO should not be the one who takes full security...

Clearly Mr Lord is out of touch with the current state of the COBOL language. A little time and research would have shown COBOL is alive and evolving on an annual basis as venords and standr committees continue to...

Or, as so often happens online, it is a post from someone who isn't who he says he is. I think a post like that needs to have a skeptical eye aimed at it.

Thanks for sharing your experiences, Gregory and DHBarr. DHBarr-- you said you'd recommend it to clients after this update? I'd be curious to hear more. Were you hesitant to recommend it previously purely because of usability...
In reply to: Re: I Installed Windows 8.1 Update 1
I don't think it would be unheard of. I mean, at least 50% of Windows leaks originate through the same handful of channels, so I think if Microsoft were truly interested in keeping things quiet, they'd find a way. If Microsoft...

Thank you Microsoft for finally fixing Windows 8 so that I can actually recommend my clients use it.
In reply to: Re: I Installed Windows 8.1 Update 1
The sooner MS can throw out the 8.x series - and 9.x if it's slated to be a mere imrovement on 8.x - the quicker they can get back to devoted Windows users. I've been using it since Windows 3.1, and there has never been...

I was one of the lucky few that got the update files yesterday. I have to say the experience is much nicer for keyboard and mouse users. Right click functions are back and the start menu can finally be navigated much easier...

I wonder if it was a mistake that it was available for those few hours. Would it be unheard of if MS did that deliberately? It might get a little buzz going about it. Anything they do that helps non tablet users will be...

Everything Oregon bought from Oracle is COTS software... Siebel, OPA, PeopleSoft Financials, Oracle BI, Fusion Middleware, Oracle Database etc.

First of all Sheehan is an idiot. Exeter was offering an additional configuration of the software the state already owns with no proven value. Exeter offers a configuration of Siebel CRM, Oracle Policy Automation and a...

@Gigabob Was there something about Cover Oregon that made it more complex than other state projects that did incorporate some off-the-shelf software as a starting point? Also not clear what you're saying about Sheehan:...

Sheehan's post and focus joins several other from the Repulican side of the aisle that were viewed at the time through the polarizing lense of National Health Care Politics. If we accept Rep Sheehans perspective it...

I believe that the "update" that was being spoken of in the article was the 2002 Standard for the language. There is another release of the standard pending and should be finalized this year. So we will have...

That both Oregon's ineffective management under Carolyn Lawson and Oracle - her chosen partner - share blame for this debacle is not for debate. Assinging singular blame to either party in a marriage of this intimacy...

Building A Mobile Business Mindset
Among 688 respondents, 46% have deployed mobile apps, with an additional 24% planning to in the next year. Soon all apps will look like mobile apps – and it's past time for those with no plans to get cracking.
