Chris O'Malley's Computerworld blog "End Of IT as We Know It" has gotten a lot of attention. He has been addressing the major issues of our changing industry and how companies, IT orgs, and individuals need to adapt to thrive. Here are his last three posts for you to check out. If you have an opinion, Chris would like to hear it... go ahead and let him know in the comments.
When everybody is a CIO It's always been tough for IT organizations to find the right people with the right skills at the right time. It's not just that the relentless pace of innovation is forcing IT to successfully find, recruit and engage professionals with solid skills in a whole range of technologies. The new hiring challenge is finding people who have both strong technical skills and CIO-like aptitudes for negotiation, relationship management and comparison of value.
Big economic recovery from small technology projects To create jobs and sustain economic activity, businesses have to actually create value. In today's pervasively wired global marketplace, technology only creates value insofar as it delivers concrete competitive advantage. Since small to mid-market businesses create most of our jobs, it stands to reason that if we want to increase our employment, the most important thing we can do is to technologically empower SMBs.
It's time to virtualize human capital To achieve their ambitious growth objectives and fulfill relentlessly escalating client demands, managed service providers (MSPs) are aggressively virtualizing human capital. Key takeaway: Enterprise IT organizations face very similar challenges and opportunities, and would therefore do well to embrace this same strategy.

To thrive in this competitive environment, IT organizations must transform into highly agile and efficient service brokers -- continuously optimizing both "chore" IT tasks such as infrastructure management and "core" imperatives such as customer experience and business model innovation. As enterprises tap into the expertise and skills available via the cloud, IT becomes the orchestrator of collaboration between service providers and internal service owners in real time.

Cepra Taps Nimsoft to Deliver Scalable Remote Monitoring and Service Desk Functionality to Its Clients
Integrated IT Management-as-a-Service Solution Enables Mexico-based MSP to Deliver Greater Value While Streamlining Operations and Reducing Costs
Campbell, Calif.–January , 2012–Nimsoft announced today that Cepra, a Mexico-based managed service provider (MSP) for desktop, network and datacenter infrastructure has deployed the multi-tenant Nimsoft Unified Manager IT Management-as-a-Service solution that combines industry-leading infrastructure monitoring and ready-to-use ITIL®-based service management capabilities.
Click to tweet: Cepra Taps @Nimsoft for Remote Monitoring and Service Desk Functionality http://bit.ly/yPCPUq
Cepra's Cloud Enabling & Management Services division deployed the Nimsoft solution in its NOC to enable remote monitoring of the desktop, network and datacenter infrastructure, along with integrated ticketing and service desk functions associated with that infrastructure. Delivered as a managed service, the solution minimizes the need for clients to install additional equipment or software on-premise.
"The monitoring solutions we used in the past were complicated and expensive, because they had to be installed and maintained at our client sites," said Manuel Landa, vice president for Cloud Enabling & Management Services at Cepra. "By using Nimsoft Unified Manager under our managed services model, we can reduce costs for our larger government and corporate clients and serve smaller companies that cannot afford conventional on-premise monitoring."
Nimsoft Unified Manager couples comprehensive infrastructure coverage with proven service delivery processes and structured visibility to enable continual infrastructure optimization and accelerated problem resolution.
"Legacy 'point' management solutions don't give MSPs the operational efficiency and insight they need to deliver great value to their clients," said Chris O'Malley, Nimsoft CEO. "The integrated Nimsoft ITMaaS solution empowers MSPs, cloud providers and corporate IT departments alike to fulfill SLAs and efficiently manage services across today's complex distributed and cloud environments."

Nimsoft Delivers Localized Version of Nimsoft Service Desk
SaaS Service Desk Provides Simplicity while Extending Worldwide Reach
Campbell, Calif. – January 31, 2012 – Nimsoft today announced the release of the first localized version of Nimsoft Service Desk Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, a component of Nimsoft Unified Manager that enables enterprises to manage and resolve IT issues with efficient and easy-to-use SaaS tools. Localized for an increasingly global user base, Nimsoft Service Desk is now available in Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, simplified Chinese and Japanese.
Click to tweet: Nimsoft Delivers Localized Version of Nimsoft Service Desk #SaaS http://bit.ly/x5Eatz
"Booming adoption of the cloud by emerging enterprises and MSPs in Latin America and Asia is fueling the demand for SaaS solutions that enable effective management of both cloud and traditional IT environments," said Chris O'Malley, Nimsoft CEO. "With the success Nimsoft has achieved in these regions, it made sense to offer customers localized versions of our solution that didn't require technicians to work in English."
Nearly a third of the growing Nimsoft Service Desk customer base is in Latin America and Asia―including PRIMEHOST and IT Partners in Brazil, ISC Integration in Mexico, Fortior Global in Australia and Olive Solutions in India. In addition to licensing Nimsoft Service Desk, many of these customers also use Nimsoft Monitor, the other core component in the Nimsoft Unified Manager solution.
"Customers in Brazil are very interested in services in the cloud," said Arnaldo Bosco Mascarenhas, Business Director, at F9C Global Security, a Brazilian service provider. "Having Nimsoft Service Desk available in Portuguese will be a great benefit and a competitive differentiator in many cases, as we roll out our service offerings to the local market, since it will enable us to communicate with our customers in their own language."
Nimsoft Service Desk continues its distinctive approach to service management―which entails operators selecting next actions for trouble-tickets, rather than simply assigning them a status. By combining localized language support with existing automated "action-based" ITIL-compatible workflows, Nimsoft helps operators speed ticket resolution by reducing the chance for misunderstanding, and lessening the time tickets spend waiting for operator intervention.
