Many businesses consider their telecom system a utility—an asset base that is just there and hardly worth thinking about. Yet that very nonchalance is a symptom of just how essential communications systems are. Ask most organizations what they would do without phone and Internet access, and the answer would likely be that their business would come to a screeching halt. The communications portfolio has become that important to businesses today—and, ironically, all too often taken for granted.

White Paper IDC | The Business Value of VCE Vblock Systems: Leveraging Conver...Melissa Luongo
The Business Value of VCE Vblock Systems: Leveraging Convergence to Drive Business Agility
In the past decade, information technology (IT) evolved from an enabler of back-office business processes to the very foundation of a modern business. In the increasingly digital and mobile world, the datacenter is often the first and most frequent point of contact with customers. The ability to innovate quickly lies at the heart of today’s changing business models. Businesses expect their IT investments to accelerate their pace of innovation, provide flexibility to meet new demands, and continually reduce the costs of operations.
Converged infrastructure is essential for many companies to ensure that their datacenter infrastructures can meet today’s challenges. The business rationale for deploying converged infrastructure goes far beyond traditional IT feeds and speeds. Customers using converged solutions like VCE’s Vblock Systems (Vblock) realize lower costs, greater levels of utilization, and reduced downtime. VCE customers in this study recognized business benefits such as improved organizational agility, faster application development, increased innovation, and improved employee productivity.
IDC interviewed 16 VCE Vblock Systems customers to understand and quantify the benefits delivered by their Vblock converged infrastructure deployments. Vblock Systems are built by VCE using compute, network, and storage technologies and virtualization software from Cisco, EMC, and VMware.
IDC found that by using Vblock Systems, these organizations recorded improved business outcomes and that these improvements are increasingly driving IT investment decisions.
All VCE customers interviewed for this study generated substantial business value by consolidating their IT infrastructures with Vblock. IDC calculates that these VCE customers will generate five-year discounted benefits worth an average of $384,202 per 100 users by using Vblock, which will result in an average return on investment (ROI) of 518% and a payback period of 7.5 months.
Intralinks Ponemon Research Report | Breaking Bad: The Risk of Unsecure File...Melissa Luongo
Data leakage and loss from negligent file sharing and information collaboration practices is becoming just as significant a risk as data theft.
Just like malicious threats from hackers and others, data leakage through the routine and insecure sharing of information is a major threat to many organizations. Being able to securely share valuable corporate data is a critical requirement for all organizations, but especially regulated companies like financial services and life sciences firms.
Many companies have few provisions in place – process, governance, and technology – to adequately protect data. Yet, more and more sensitive information is being shared outside the organization, often without the knowledge or approval of CIOs or GRC professionals who are arguably losing control. Employees are ‘behaving badly’ – they acknowledge risky behavior and in turn experience the consequences of risky behavior regularly.
For the first time, the study Breaking Bad: The Risk of Unsecure File Sharing explores the link between organizational and individual behavior when using increasingly popular file sync-and- share solutions. As shown in this research, organizations are not responding to the risk of ungoverned files-sharing practices among employees as well as with external parties, such as business partners, contractors, vendors and other stakeholders.
Consumer grade file-sharing cloud applications are popular with both employees and organizations because they make it possible for busy professionals to work efficiently together. However, the findings in this report identify the holes in document and file level security in part caused by their expanded use. The goal is to provide solutions to reduce the risk of created by employees’ document and file sharing practices.
More than 1,000 IT and IT security practitioners were surveyed in the United States, United Kingdom and Germany. The majority of respondents are at the supervisor level or above with expertise and understanding of their organization’s use of file-sharing solutions and overall information security and data privacy policies and strategies.
Yorktel Whitepaper: Save Money, Leverage Time Return on Engagement Using Coll...Melissa Luongo
By Ron Gaboury CEO
We have become a society where information is received multiple ways simultaneously. Media simultaneously has “talking heads,” visual data, social media and graphics at the bottom of the screen; accessible everywhere. Younger generations expect this constant video flow as the norm. Can this backfire? How do we use it to our advantage instead of giving in to ‘information overload’? It is time to develop a strategy to better engage people by effectively using collaboration and visual tools. Here we discuss how to shift the ever-common business meeting into a collaborative session that not only boosts productivity, but nurtures your “soft assets” and promotes a measurement far more important than ROI—your ROE (return on engagement).

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
