More hints that IT systems analysis and on-demand models are coming together
by Dana Gardner
Dec. 3, 2007- Rather than rely on quasi-annual surveys by IT analyst firms, a broad Paglo audit
of large swaths of IT use and habits could take the guess work out of what IT is actually being used in

What's a Paglo?
by Glyn Moody
Nov. 19, 2007- Search has become the optic through which we see the digital world; applying it not just to traditional
information, but also to corporate IT data is eminently sensible. Things only got better when I found
out that the search engine crawler was open source (GNU GPL to be precise). This makes a lot of sense.
It means that people can add extra features to it to allow discovery of all kinds of new and whacky
hardware and software through the use of plugins; it also means that people are more likely to trust
it to wander around their intranets, gathering a lot of extremely sensitive information.
