Consumerization of IT–How to address this
Bring Your Own Device or Consumerization of IT are fairly hot themes in a lot of customer organizations. When I talk to customers, there are typically different reactions, once we bring this up. Some tell us, that it is not part of their strategy; some tell us that they plan to do it but that they have a hard time figuring out, how to secure such an environment; very, very ...
10 Years of Trustworthy Computing at Microsoft
Before joining Microsoft a little bit more than 10 years ago, I ran a team at PricewarehoureCoopers on e-Business Risk Management – classical security consulting in the Internet bubble time. When I announced that I will leave PwC and join Microsoft, I got interesting reactions (and remember, this was 2001). Mainly they were along two lines: Oh, you are joining a desktop company? ...
10 Reasons to migrate off Windows XP
I would like you to sit back, close your eyes and think about the year 2001. Think about how you used technology back then, how you used the Internet. Now, let’s take it a little bit further back in history and think of the year 2000. Just after we realized that the Year-2000-Problem was handled very well by the industry.

Office 365 Becomes First and Only Major Cloud Productivity Service to Comply With Leading EU and U.S. Standards for Data Protection and Security

HP and Microsoft Partnership: That's What You Need in the Cloud By Roger Halbheer, on January 14th, 2010 Often when I talk to our customers and they ask me about the cloud, a lot of questions come up. Most of them are security related (obviously) but some of them are more management focused. For example the question about how to manage a hybrid environment, where part of your business is run on premise, part of it in the cloud (being it private, community, public)? Whom do I call if things go wrong?
The same is true for partners who want to build solutions on our technology like Windows Azure.
I am convinced that the announcement you heard yesterday is a step in the very right direction. If you want to know more about it, you should read New HP and Microsoft Agreement to Simplify Technology Environments.
There is a video section showing how our Execs see the agreement:
Steve Ballmer, Microsoft
Mark Hurd, HP
And there are a lot of other voices there
It is all about your choice how to embrace the cloud – nobody else’s!
Roger
