		<description><![CDATA[Stephanie Overby captured popular sentiment in a recent CIO.com article when she said, “IT Value is Dead.  Long Live Business Value.”  She picked up on a theme we see from more and more CEOs and business organizations, IT doesn’t make relevant measurements, and CEOs don’t care about IT’s attempts to align to the business; all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cloud computing has challenged the way the enterprise thinks about running its software.  The old days of identifying a need, developing software and deploying it on a server (or 1000 servers) is over.  Now enterprises need to balance varied deployments and sourcing models.  At Adaptivity, we make it our mission to help our clients understand [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We’ve previously discussed the concepts of the Business Value Chain (BVC) and the IT Supply Chain (ITSC).  Simply stated, the Business Value Chain is made up of the functions your business performs and the activities that support that business function – essentially, your demand.  The IT Supply Chain is comprised of the applications and capabilities [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As enterprises move inexorably towards the Cloud, a faint murmur in the distance is growing louder and louder.  What is it – the security forces objecting…the CFO wondering where their money is going now…business teams clamoring for faster response time?  Good guesses, but this group never makes quite that much noise – it’s the operational [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks back we talked about the impact of cloud computing on IT innovation, and argued that focused innovation (on the right parts of your business where it matters) remains absolutely essential.  Cloud, as a delivery model, really doesn&#8217;t change things much — it simply provides another, perhaps easier, way to offload non-core IT [...]]]></description>
