we manage that

With so many tech tools available to employees these days, IT staff and the CIOs alike may be going a little crazy supporting them, and figuring out how to support them.

I enjoyed this article in CIO Insight. They site stats obtained by IDG Research Services

Smartphones are taking over business computing.

This article in eWEEK muses that smartphones are giving tablets and notebooks a run for their money. They site the nine business drivers that will push corporate IT departments toward adopting mobile computing-focused strategies. Cool to read. Reason 7 "Reduced IT Workload" really, are smartphones easier to manage than notebooks? Reason 9 "The Lugging Factor" Here at Rove we're all too familiar with this one - we get sick of lugging when we can have it all in the palm of our hand.

Great slideshow eWEEK. See the whole thing here.

Let us know what you think.

Windows IT Pro Magazine — the leader in the Windows technology publication industry — completed their review of Rove Mobile Admin and...PROS: Easy to set up; makes remote administration a breeze; supports the software you’d expect it to, plus tons more. CONS: None.

Rove Mobile Admin was commended for its clean interface and its ease of use.

If you feel the same way, be sure to add a comment to the Review.

Summertime brings about a hiatus in TV. Seems like the tech publishing houses are doing a few re-runs of their own as well. This eWEEK slideshow summarizes the findings in Susan Cramm's book "8 Things We Hate About IT."

For example, "IT leaders hate when the business treats IT professionals like untrustworthy servant-genies." Really? Quite interesting. You be the judge.
