WiMAX: The Next "Big
Thing" in Wireless
by Michael
Enright
WiMAX and IEEE
802.20 are two of the latest options for
mobile and remote users and systems,
part of an ongoing evolution from
intermittent, dial-up Internet
connectivity to pervasive high-speed
networking and “always–on” computing.
While these new technologies are not
likely to have significant short-term
impact on business infrastructure and
applications, IT leaders should monitor
their development, and consider the
potential they’ll bring to business
applications and network architectures
if as forecast they reach the market in
the next several years.

Connecting the
Remote End User: Finding the Right --
and Safe -- Solution
by Michael
Enright
Many IT executives have
watched the proliferation of new
Internet connectivity options with
understandable caution. The Wild West
world of supported and unsupported Wi-Fi
hot spots in hotels, coffee shops,
airports, and even homes presents
attractive options for remote PC users
looking to get online, but it also
creates real security and system support
concerns. As is often the case, the IT
leader's challenge is to determine when
to incorporate and support new
technologies and services and what
represents a deployable configuration
that blends new capabilities with
security and supportability.

A Lesson in
Innovation from the Military
by Michael
Enright
It's common wisdom that
successful businesses today must embrace
innovation to enable long-term success.
Whereas in the past, defining,
developing, and managing a business or
product strategy was enough to create
success, in today's highly competitive,
dynamic, globalized business world,
effective leaders must embrace the
constant evaluation of new opportunities
and innovations. Executives who fail to
address potential innovative
opportunities for their businesses,
products, and services are likely to
find themselves under attack from those
who master and deploy the innovative
potential first.
