With people like that on board we can also easily see through the marketing hype and claims of many ICT products and services, and identify what real value, if any, they can provide your organisation.
While it might be completely "disruptive", in the original sense of the word, and in the knowledge we are likely to upset some people - you do know all your "Smart Phones" are nothing more than very small Laptops.... don't you??
They are effectively, and actually, Pocket PC's with embedded mobile phones.
"So what?" you might say. So this, we would answer. Most people, and organisations, treat Smart Phones as phones when they are in fact very powerful PC's that can and do hold vital and often confidential company information .... but without any of the safeguards that same information is protected by when held on a company's main ICT systems.
Without robust safeguards to protect Company-Confidential information from the plethora of security holes prevalent in all Smart Phones Smart Phones are an open invitation to hackers and competitors. Call us to close that invitation.
C-DMT were among the very first to promote Cloud services, and we know the Risks as well as the benefits. And while the benefits can be tremendous... if you are not also aware of the Risks then you can literally kill your organisation - Dead.
We have seen Information & Communications Technology (ICT) in all its forms, from Computer Bureaus that processed customers data.... hmmm... doesn't that sound a bit like the Cloud (?), to Insourcing, Outsourcing, Facilities Management, Pay-by-Usage (there goes that Cloud again!), SaaS (geez, so many clouds today, better take an umbrella!) and every other shape, form, and flavour.
If our references to the Cloud seem slightly flippant, that is simply to illustrate how many "new" things in the world of ICT are, in many cases, nothing more than old solutions wrapped up in shiny new gobbleydook terminology.
Just because everyone else is afraid to see the Emperor's New Clothes for exactly what they are not, does not mean that you should.
Clouds are absolutely one of the best things to happen for SME's. They provide relatively cheap access to business applications, services, skill sets, and other facilities that SME's could never afford to purchase outright.
For SME's, Clouds level the playing field. Clouds enable SME's to have access to the same level of ICT powered business applications and other facilities as the biggest corporations.
However, for large corporations, Clouds present a plethora of minefields. Not potential minefields, but real ones that can blow your business apart.
There are Legal Minefields; Security Minefields; Privacy Minefields; Customer Minefields; Data Ownership Minefields; Copyright Minefields; Intellectual Property Minefields.
And there are many, many, more minefields, but even the few mentioned here show that for any large organisation an extensive amount of due diligence, risk assessment, and other activities are absolutely mandatory.
