Field Memo: Get Sales Enablement Resources Delivered By RSS
If you're an RSS junkie, then you might want to check this out.
Novell Global Sales Enablement has long offered the SalesTalk podcast source with its various RSS feeds.
We've recently built a couple of other sources:
- Novell in Hand serves up publicly-accessible sales enablement information. On NIH you'll find ChalkTalk videos and short demo videos. So far.
- Novell in the Know serves up limited-access sales enablement information. For NITK you'll need an RSS reader that can handle secure RSS feeds...and you'll need your www.novell.com username and password. On it you'll find most of the other resources that we love to bring to Novell partner and Novell employee sales people.

The perfect IT storm hits this weekend in the States - Super Bowl Sunday, $3M 30 second ads, web traffic and opportunity to go To the Cloud!

Classify Your Services - The Golden Key to Business Service Management
Starting any project is daunting and Business Service Management as an initiative is often thought of as big, hard and complicated. My personal opinion is that stems from the fact that it cuts horizontally across the data center and does not reside in one sphere of influence. However, as a long time product marketing / product manager I find it can be quite simple. One service at a time, one service team at a time approach rather than boiling the ocean all at once. Let’s start at the top, the service, and work our way down and back up again in a series of posts.

2011 - IT Transforms and Becomes One with Business or "To the Cloud"
No more IT and Business - 2011 IT powers the Business!
Start of a new year and just 2 weeks into what will be the year of The Cloud and service providers and I am already tiring of To The Cloud. I would say I'm adding a 5th prediction to my previous post, however, if you keep up with IT Management news, the topic of this also being a year of IT Transformation is pervasive. As with most things IT, we require some marketing and a clever IT rally cry for the year. I'll have to think on that one and come up with something clever. Read on for a quick snapshot of the year of IT transformation discussion.
