  • IT Staffing - Computer Science Research and Development Spending at Universities Is Not Increasing As Fast As It Was in the Past

    Computer Science Research and Development Spending at Universities Is Not Increasing As Fast As It Was in the Past

    Considering that we are flying headlong into the Internet revolution and that more than 50 percent of the companies in our 1999 IT spending and technology survey are implementing e-commerce, the growth of research and development (R&D) spending in universities is slow. Increases in spending in FY97 (3.1 percent) and FY96 (1.4 percent) were low compared to a 6 percent increase in 1995, a 6.6 percent increase in 1994, and a 9.4 percent increase for 1993.

    How Can You Improve the Odds for Successful ERP Implementation?

    ERP failures are generally not due to failure of the software but a breakdown in how such projects are managed.

  • IT Best Practices - Global Tensions Heighten IT Security Awareness (March 2002)

    Global Tensions Heighten IT Security Awareness (March 2002)

Numerous statistics show that this concern is well placed, but the source of attacks on IT systems is more likely to be domestic than foreign. Company employees, not hackers on the Internet, have caused the largest financial losses from security breaches. This fact should not be interpreted as recommending minimizing protecting against exterior security invasions but rather that good security must consider all potential points of attack.
