Social Nets for Business
Consumer social networks are not ready to operate inside a business where
items such as security, compliance and monitoring are required. Sorry, but that
is the truth. However, there are lots of interesting vendors coming to the
rescue with social networking products designed for business. Try out a few.
Social Net Monitoring for Marketing
Your marketing department needs help big time. A lot of the conversation
about your company is taking place beyond the reaches of traditional marketing
research capabilities. If you gain some knowledge about social network
monitoring, you can finally get that promotion you've been looking for.
IT Infrastructure Financing
How does your company buy, lease or license its products and services? Don't
leave that discussion to your CFO and associated bean-counters. A crunched
economy means you have a lot more negotiating leverage than you realize.
IT Infrastructure Disposal
And while you are leaning on your vendors, make sure they are willing to
take back your old equipment and provide documentation that those old boxes
were disposed of in an environmentally acceptable way. You can be both green
and save your company a lot of hassle at the same time.
Toss Out the Old, Bring in the New
It really is time to go through your application inventory and toss out old,
rarely used apps. It is also time to start planning to create and deploy the
business applications that truly can give your company the business advantage
it needs in a rebounding marketplace.
