Outsourcing from a strategic management perspective by friedrich blase and da...David Cunningham
1) IT outsourcing from a strategic perspective requires assessing opportunities, designing solutions, selecting vendors, and managing the transition to allow lawyers to work more effectively and efficiently.
2) Historically, law firms outsourced some IT functions like data processing to service bureaus before insourcing most IT. Rising costs are now causing firms to reconsider outsourcing some services again to improve performance over just reducing costs.
3) Common IT functions considered for outsourcing include help desk, network and data center management, email hosting, and disaster recovery. Outsourcing is a strategic issue that can impact overall firm performance, not just costs.

Gain insights into the hidden cost of infrastructure monitoring with our ebook

"IOT will completely transform the way we do business, in a staggered manner such that most of the business transactions will become near real time or real time, enabled by IOT. IOT also helps us to get additional data points which is not possible in non-IOT setup. These additional data points generate additional value or enhances the existing value. Few examples to quote include real time patient data (vital signs, quality of life, etc.), real-time manifacturing, drug supply and also predict the demand and supply drug. The next level of competitive advantage can be derived when we add advanced analytics capabilities to unlock the insights from IOT and other traditional data points. Predictive analytics take decision making to the next level, where almost all decisions can be made better."
"In order to move business beyond main areas, industries will have to secure partnerships with good IoT platforms. For instance, transforming Telco into an ICT (Information and communication technologies) organization by offering Digital services such as IoT Application Enablement Platform (AEP) and M2M Connectivity Platforms. A telecommunication firm has a unique opportunity to drive mobile payments – by building on direct carrier billing through multiple payment options, data management and seamless fulfilment – to the next level. Also, faster adoption of cloud, big data and cyber technologies would ensure delivering impeccable network, platform and solution functionalities."
8 BIGGEST MISTAKES IT PRACTITIONERS MAKE AND HOW TO AVOID THEMAbuSyeedRaihan
Imagine you’re the mythological character Sisyphus, forced to roll a boulder up a hill.

Refog provides employee monitoring software that allows employers to track employee activities on company computers in a passive, non-disruptive way. This includes logging keystrokes, monitoring applications used and URLs visited, and capturing screenshots. The software helps enforce corporate policies by monitoring employee communications and ensuring compliance. It also aims to improve employee productivity by providing real-time feedback to stop non-work activities like games and chatting. Refog argues this passive monitoring approach is more effective and cheaper than proactive data leak prevention systems.
This document describes a computer activity monitoring approach as means to improve employee productivity in corporate environments, investigate fraud and collect evidence in a non-disruptive way.

The IT department at Sligro Food
Group chooses Tango04 to monitor its
infrastructure and to ensure the
process of its online orders 24/7.
With a range of over 60,000 products, Sligro is the
largest food wholesaler in the Netherlands. It serves
retailers and food service companies including
stores, supermarkets, restaurants and caterers.
Sligro's infrastructure encompasses more than 70
Windows servers and approximately 60 iSeries
systems. Protecting business processes supported
by this infrastructure from downtime is crucial to
Sligro. This is why Sligro decided to permanently
monitor its business processes and infrastructure
with Tango/04 VISUAL Message Center.
The Challenge: Order Processes and Infrastructure
Order processes are the heart of Sligro's business.
Orders from large accounts are entered directly into
the system, while orders from smaller accounts
come in by handheld terminals or Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI).
If an order gets lost, the Sligro store that placed the
order may not be supplied the next day. The result is
that articles won't be on stock and the store will
have to say no to a customer.
