This document discusses where returns on investment from cloud computing come from. It identifies the five key areas of cloud computing cost savings as: hardware, software, automated provisioning, productivity improvements, and system administration. For each area, it explains how cost savings are achieved and provides metrics to measure savings. The document is intended to help organizations understand how cloud computing can lower IT expenses and calculate the payback period of a cloud investment. Sample ROI projections from an IBM study show payback periods ranging from 4 to 18 months depending on the size of the environment and savings achieved across the five cost areas.
This document summarizes the key findings of a study on data security practices commissioned by Microsoft and RSA. The study found that while compliance-related data like customer information is important for companies to protect, proprietary company secrets and intellectual property are actually twice as valuable on average. However, companies devote equal portions of their security budgets to compliance as they do to protecting sensitive corporate information. Additionally, while accidental data leaks caused by employees are more common, intentional theft of secrets by employees or other parties can cost companies much more financially. The report recommends companies focus more on protecting their most valuable proprietary information rather than just compliance-related data.
This document summarizes data breach notification laws in the United States, focusing on requirements in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, and California. Key elements discussed include: timing of notification (e.g. without unreasonable delay); form of disclosure (e.g. written, electronic); entities required to notify (e.g. those that own personal data); and exemptions (e.g. no likelihood of harm). Health-related requirements are also covered, such as notifying the state department of public health about breaches of medical information.
This document outlines a 7 step checklist for covered entities to update their policies and procedures to comply with new HIPAA guidelines established by the HITECH Act. The steps include: 1) reviewing business associate agreements, 2) preparing breach notification plans, 3) revising policies for PHI restrictions, 4) handling requests for EHR records, 5) updating marketing guidelines, 6) accounting for disclosures of PHI, and 7) revising privacy notices to address the new requirements.

The document discusses the challenges mid-tier organizations face in achieving effective IT service management due to a lack of integrated tools. It finds that over 80% of surveyed IT professionals are not confident in their tools' ability to monitor networks and applications. Current tools focus more on individual components rather than overall services. The document argues this inhibits visibility, control, and optimization needed to improve service delivery and reduce costs. It concludes mid-tier companies require more holistic solutions to better manage infrastructure changes, ensure compliance, and monitor service levels across physical and virtual environments.

Title XIII of ARRA, also known as the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act), reserves $22 billion to "advance the use of health information technology" -- in large part so the U.S. will be able to move to e-health records by President Obama\'s 2014 deadline.
This document presents opposing viewpoints on whether doctors should purchase an electronic medical record (EMR) system now. On the "point" side, Dr. Gregory Hood argues that now is not the time for an EMR purchase, as it requires significant time and resources to implement properly. Adopting an EMR solely for financial incentives may not be worthwhile. On the "counterpoint" side, Dr. Joseph Scherger argues that now is the time for doctors to purchase an EMR to take advantage of government stimulus funds, improved affordability, and the need to adopt EMRs as the new standard of care.
