As a bit of a researcher of the IT management industry, these are just my musings to add to recent flurry of top 10 lists from my friends on WorkloadIQ and Baseline that sparked my imagination of further possibilities. Here goes, a tad controversial, I welcome the discussion! :-)

Accidental Cloud Leader - Stealth Cloud Followers - Which Cloud is your IT On?
Are you leading your organizations cloud roll-out or are you reacting to it? It is happening, better to lead than follow!
The WorkloadIQ post and the article Richard references on the Stealth Cloud from a CIO article reminds me of a previous artilce about the Accidental Cloud Leader from a Networkworld article. Both of these articles point to the cloud is coming, the choice facing IT organizations is whether to lead, control costs, mitigate risk, deliver quality service and manage costs or to follow with rising costs, reactive IT, high risk and poor service quality. Richard hits the nail on the head, IT is traditionally change averse and insecure with the concept of outsourcing services. Technology is evolving faster and faster and the very organization that should adopt, deploy and lead with technology continues to lag.

Data Sheet: Novell Endpoint Lifecycle Management Suite (2 pages)
We rarely send out Field Memos on documents that are posted for direct customer downloading. However, Data Sheets are such an excellent resource for you to use in your sales meetings, we just had to let you know.
Data Sheets are 2 pages and contain just the main facts. When you're at the stage of a product discussion, use them as a guide. Hand them over as a leave-behind.
This particular Data Sheet is about a new bundle which brings together everything you need for efficient, automated endpoint lifecycle management into one convenient, fully integrated suite of products.
