10 Practices for VMO Success

Brian Dooley

Information and communications environments have grown in complexity, and single vendors are less likely to be able to provide the complete array of services required. Therefore, businesses are less likely to outsource to a single contractor.

Making Policy

Robert Charette

A little over three years ago now, the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) legislation was passed into law. Now is an appropriate time to review the US Security and Exchange Commission's (SEC) estimates of the cost of SOX, especially the compliance with Section 404, which requires companies to implement internal controls on their financial transactions and information.

Measurement Shock, Self-Loathing, and Organizational Learning

Michael Mah

Last week while playing tennis, my friend Holly sent her forehand sailing high into an adjacent court. "Aargh," she cried. Then, with a casual grin, she said, "That's what I love about this game -- it gives you plenty of chances to practice self-loathing." She reminded me of Lucy from the "Peanuts" comics.

Robert Austin
People like to complain about software quality, and with good reason. Who has not experienced the stages of grief (concern, fear, horror, anger, resignation) that follow a "fatal exception" notification indicating that you've lost work? Yes, software quality should be better. But software users' self-righteous complaining doesn't help the situation.
