“IT STRAIGHT TALK” Introduction

This site is intended as a resource for executives who are accountable for the delivery of IT Services. This includes everyone from the person who the IT function reports into (CEO, COO or Head of Shared Services) to the individual IT Functional Leader – and everyone in between. The internal customer of IT may find the site of use in understanding the role of IT as a managed services provider and how this may change their current interactions.

IT STRAIGHT TALK is a site about the business of IT. If you are looking to solve a particular problem that you are having with your IT group, the site can assist you in finding a solution. If you would like help transforming your IT group, the site can help you with your thinking and assist you in the process.

IT STRAIGHT TALK is not a site about technology, but rather about the management of technology. I am technology agnostic and frame questions about the use of particular technologies within the context of business goals and objectives. 

As of today the site is live, with minimal content. Over the course of the next week, additional content pages will be added (generally presentations and white papers).
