Re: Business Management

"What's happening now and has been happening over the past couple of years is organizations such as Cisco and HP have to start cutting out the layers of middle management because the right hand is not speaking to the left hand. That's causing a lot of problems for their go-to-market strategies..."

MWRC quoted in "Cisco reorganizing sales structure Opens in New Window "

Re: Security

"Especially in Canada, many small businesses often wait for [security] attacks, or they don't do anything because [compliance] is too expensive and takes a lot of time..."

MWRC quoted in "Hacking Exposed author reveals his security secrets Opens in New Window "

Re: Netbooks

"HP, Dell and Lenovo have to prove themselves -- have to start from behind and work their way up to the top; which they have been doing... The excitement comes in the form factor and in how it is used."

MWRC quoted in "Will netbook ubiquity hurt or help major PC vendors? Opens in New Window "

Re: Smartphones

"Apple mastered the App Store model for distributing applications for mobile devices. Consumers don't mind paying a couple of dollars for a quality application."

MWRC quoted in "Google's own little Android Opens in New Window "

Re: Cloud Computing

"Sun really has to get into the cloud computing space, just as Cisco had to get into the server space. Sun needs to do this move because cloud is a major trend and it will spread through the IT industry. Sun's clients are going to be looking for a cloud computing solution, and Sun simply has to be there. If they had not come out with a cloud announcement... it would have been a glaring omission."

MWRC quoted in "Sun rolls out cloud computing strategy Opens in New Window "
