I Love it When a Plan Comes Together Thanks to KnowledgeStorm's reach through partnerships and bilateral content sharing arrangements, we were able to bring a new spin of Apple's big news.
Once in a while, a catch phrase from the movies or television seems to stick in your mind and be appropriate for certain situations. For me, lately at least, one that seems to resonate is, "I love it when a plan comes together." This was the tagline of cigar-chomping Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith of the A-Team. Played by George Peppard, the rakish Colonel Smith would utter this famous line when a number of forces would align to resolve the drama de jour. This special edition of the Upshot is deserving of Hannibal's catch phrase. It is a perfect case of opportunity meeting effort, of planning meeting teamwork. Our challenge was to present an interesting perspective on what is arguably one of the most important ---but oft-told--- technology stories of the decade, namely: Apple's exciting new G5 PC and OS X operating systems. Clearly, Apple has charted a course for the enterprise. And with a barrage of press and marketing about its lightning-fast G5 and lithe and versatile OS X, there seemed little more we could say. Our quandary then ---not as dramatic as they'd face on an episode of the A-Team--- was to find and present the new perspective on these important stories. Thanks to KnowledgeStorm's reach through partnerships and bilateral content sharing arrangements, we were able to bring a new perspective on Apple's big news. We did this by inviting a couple of partners, Infoworld and the Aberdeen Group, to share their perspectives on Apple's newest forays into the B2B technology market. In our lead feature, Apple RAIDs the enterprise, InfoWorld's P.J. Connelly transcends the popular headlines to explore how Apple has made headway in its drive to reinvent itself as a serious enterprise-computing player. Peter Kastner, Executive Vice President and Chief Research Officer, of Aberdeen Group offers his new take on Apple's G5. Both of these writers bring new perspective to Apple's interesting new solutions and enterprise push. I hope you will find the insight offered in these articles to be helpful when you explore KnowledgeStorm and compare various Apple products. |
