Posted by Stephen F. Heffner | September 29, 2008
I have already blogged here about "meta-products" and "meta-vendors." By its nature, cloud computing is a classic example of R=G. Even "private clouds" are likely to be hosted on a heterogeneous collection of servers that are geographically dispersed, for security and redundancy if nothing else.

Spotting R=G Amid The Ruins Of Hampi
Posted by Praveen Suthrum | September 11, 2008
History, by definition, is R=G. Last week, my Royal Enfield motorcycle took me down south to the ruins of Hampi, the capital of Vijayanagara that flourished 500 to 600 years ago in India and disappeared by the end of the 16th century. Walking amid the endless excavations, I noticed several marketplaces--empty and naked in stone. They were typically near a place of worship and aligned in a long, rectangular plot one next to the other. A hundred shops dotted these marketplaces.

No, the CIO is too bogged down in issues related to legacy infrastructure and internal efficiency to move quickly and support new initiatives.

Not that easy. The CIO in our organization helps with new business initiatives when able to, but it isn't what's generally expected of the CIO.
