Business thinks IT is slow and unresponsive. IT knows that the business is totally unappreciative of the fact that while they want to support the business as much as possible, they are effectively doing so wearing handcuffs and chains. Every year for 15 years the gap between the two has widened. Now it is about to fracture forever potentially. But by creating a virtual infrastructure -- creating a connection between the application and data -- we can solve most of today's primary IT problems and re-establish a tighter bond between IT and the business.

(Source: ColdSpark)  Legacy open-source email network applications, also known as "MTA's" (e.g. sendmail, postfix) are widely used in enterprise mail networks today. However, the escalating demands of today's enterprise environments have outpaced MTA capabilities, introducing risks, costs and barriers to growth. Large organizations must look to implement a true enterprise mail transport platform to support the growing array of business and operational requirements for email traffic.

IT has never been able to prove it's true value to the business, and as such it is treated as a cost center, which is the first thing to get cut in poorly run companies. But with Web 2.0 booming, all the assumptions that you hold about IT should be put on notice: change is in the air. Web 2.0 companies have had to grow their own technology for economic functionality. Free means crap right? Wrong. How many of you keep Yahoo! Mail running on your BlackBerry's along with Exchange because you know Exchange will be down sooner or later?

There is no question that IM is entrenched in the enterprise. More than 90 percent of businesses report IM activity, according to Osterman Research. A main reason, as we discovered in "Getting serious about enterprise IM," is the improved productivity and reduced communications costs that IM delivers. What should concern CIOs is that unsanctioned consumer IM networks -- such as those from America Online, ICQ, Microsoft, and Yahoo -- make up 80 percent of corporate IM use today, and the number of users of these unsecured IM networks is growing at a fast clip, according to The Radicati Group. True, public IM networks offer enterprises some protection, such as very basic identity control. But organizations are still exposed to a multitude of security risks, including viruses and breached firewalls.
