CIO Insider
June 6, 2008... Hey, it's FRIDAY!
ELECTRONIC DISCOVERY: ARE YOU REALLY READY?
IT executives are overconfident about their ability to
respond to a litigation event, reports a new study. There's
an urgent need for organizations to adopt standardized
policies and IT practices for activities related to the
identification, preservation and collection of potentially
responsive data. The existence of ad hoc and manual business
processes exposes companies to potential litigation.

4. OUTSOURCING 2.0: WORKABLE BUSINESS MODELS FOR IT CHARGEBACK
Advancements in the enterprise architecture space are
changing the shape of infrastructure outsourcing and
an entirely new business model is emerging. The key?
Using SOA to transform the client's IT environment to
a suite of managed services, then billing the environment
back to the client in a managed pay-per-use model.
Transformational outsourcing is a conversation about
service classes and unit pricing, instead of monthly
fees and headcount transfers.

5. THE JOHN MAYER-IZATION OF BLACKBERRY:
CELEBRITY SPOKESMAN, TV SPOTS AND MASCOTS, OH MY...
RIM, which has traditionally been known as a business

company has continued into the land of consumer gadgets,
launching the Curve 8300 in May 2007 and its newest
