How To Deploy 20,000 PCs and Get a Promotion

Asset Management. They still don't have a good handle on where everything they bought actually is. While in better shape then they were, if Cummins had to do one thing over, it would be to make the asset manager a key team player at the front end, rather than at the end of the process. They now use a product called Eracent for asset management, and they swear by it. Financial Goals Exceeded The end result of the deployment exceeded its financial goals, without even taking into consideration the massive improvement in employee uptime, user satisfaction and company flexibility that Cummins now enjoys. Even though they will competitively bid this again when they do the next big roll out, they were pleased with IBM's help, and, given the problems, this makes the deployment a success in anyone's book. The lesson learned is that for complex projects to be successful, you need a strong leader, a strong team with dedicated qualified members, Six Sigma-like goals and measurements, a vendor who can execute and the full support of management. Success should have a very positive career impact. If any of this is missing, well, early retirement does have its benefits. However, I would suggest that doing this right might be the better choice. Rob Enderle, a TechNewsWorld columnist, is the Principal Analyst for the Enderle Group, a consultancy that focuses on personal technology products and trends. ...

Ethics and Industry Analysts

One of the biggest questions a person will deal with in his or her life, regardless of the career path, is ethics. We make trade-offs when we "borrow" a stapler from work, take a sick day to go fishing or play golf, and take credit for something that was done by someone else. In the wake of the Enron, WorldCom and even Martha Stewart scandals, maybe its time we took a look at our own ethics and, by way of example, I'll focus this week on industry and IT analysts...
