Open Source ERP Applications: They're Real and They're Spectacular
,----[ Quote ]
| In late 2007, CIO magazine surveyed 400 IT leaders about their ERP systems.
| Despite innovation, integration and cost issues, CIOs told us they remained
| committed to on-premise, traditional ERP systems. Just 9 percent of
| respondents reported using an alternative ERP model. Those models included
| software as a service, open-source tools and various in-house applications.

Oregon CIO Says Shared Ideas and Assets Are Biggest Benefit of Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| Oregon's CIO, Dugan Petty, says it's not necessarily the money saved or the
| flexibility gained from open source that makes it most attractive for use in
| a government setting -- though both of those things are good. What's most
| important about open source in government is the opportunity to share ideas
| and solutions with other states that have similar needs and budget
| restrictions.

CIO Reality Check: Linux Security
,----[ Quote ]
| Walt Cornelison, Director of Information Technology, Tropitone Furniture:
| Security is always a concern. I have to balance security with an ability to
| operate and function. I find security to be less of a concern on the Linux
| side. I'm pretty confident on that side of our business. We have to balance
| operations performance, [with] user need and security. Security cannot be so
| obtrusive that we cannot operate.

9 Reasons Why Application Developers Think Their CIO Is Clueless
,----[ Quote ]
| The CIO gulps vendor Kool-Aid. Did you know that there are more than 34,750
| registered lobbyists in Washington, D.C., for just 435 representatives and
| 100 senators? That's 64 lobbyists for each congressperson. I wonder how many
| vendor account managers there are per CIO. You are smart enough to know that
| vendors are trying to sell you and you won't be fooled wholesale. Yeah right.
| Their influence can eat away at you without you even realizing it. Be even
| more skeptical than you are now. Just say no.
