COBOL programmers -- your time may have come
If, like me, your early introduction to computers was learning to code COBOL, don't despair because those old skills may still prove useful.

New solution helps defend business endpoints
As attackers become more sophisticated, perimeter defenses are becoming less effective at protecting networks. Particularly so as endpoints may roam from network to network or utilize resources in cloud data centers that are not under direct corporate control.

Enterprise IT spending remains strong despite coronavirus

The report from SaaS infrastructure platform OpsRamp also finds 73 percent of IT operations and DevOps team leaders expect to either accelerate or maintain digital transformation initiatives and projects, indicating the value of digital products and services in an era of social distancing.
The factors that are hindering digital transformation [Q&A]

We sat down -- at a safe distance -- with Russ Kennedy, chief product officer at Nasuni to discuss what kinds of challenges enterprises are encountering when it comes to readying their businesses for the digital era.
IT leaders still keen to innovate and invest despite uncertainty

A post pandemic world: A technologist's thoughts on professional and social change
It’s sometimes hard to imagine life returning to normal. Nevertheless, this pandemic, like those of the past, will eventually recede, but it won’t leave us unchanged. COVID-19 has already had a dramatic impact on our lives and how we interact, conduct business and obtain the products and services we need.
As chief technology officer of a technology service provider, it’s my job to consider how such events will shape business so we can adjust the services we deliver accordingly. Naturally, I have specific thoughts on topics like backup and disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS), but I also have to consider societal changes and the ways in which businesses and consumers will utilize technology moving forward. So, what will a world after COVID-19 look like? Here are a few observations and thoughts.

Of those, 25 percent say these policies are not enforced, while 17 percent confirm their organization lacks clear guidelines entirely.
