Connected, a quarterly newsletter, untangles the major obstacles that IT professionals face. It attempts to clear the piles of information to get to the heart of the world of technology, which changes too danged fast. Also, the newsletter comes with insights on how to better lead staff (and pointy-haired boss), balance life (What life? Definitely need to do some balancing there, pal.) with your career and make customers happy in spite of all the challenges at hand.
The feature gets the first issue off to a running start with a hot topic: outsourcing. Why would the TV show Dallas appear in an article on IT outsourcing? Find out and get a reality check on outsourcing.
The first challenge posed to readers comes from a CIO who can’t decide which of two teams to put on a project as each has its strengths and weaknesses. Even C-level executives can get stuck on a problem.
