The Great IT Equalizer!!
Information Technology plays a vital role for a companyâs ability to compete and survive in todayâs business world. It is vital for decision making, marketing, business growth, collaboration, resource management, and customer support. It is impossible to attain long term business success without leveraging the benefits of information technology in this digital age, but how can a small to medium size organization with limited personnel and resources meet the organizationâs IT service needs while providing an adequate level of security?
Ultralight IT not only introduces the reader to the tools necessary, but gets the reader to focus on the business problem first. The heart of Ultralight IT is the proper utilization of the tool-sets you choose to use. Ultralight IT is A MUST for any small business organization and their IT team. I think that this book is the perfect companion to Guerrilla Marketing because it addresses the needs of smaller to medium sized organizations to compete with the giants.
Solid survey of excellent best practices and advice.
Read this book if you're interested in a solid survey of excellent best practices and advice. As someone whose role is shifting towards DevOps and IT, I found incredible value consolidated into this little book. Schwab warns us that the latter chapters of the book might only be interested if we're deploying Google cloud-based services. He is correct. I found tremendous value in the larger first part, marginal value in the second. If you want to deploy Google Docs in your organization, you will find tremendous value throughout. Read it!
Perspective for the non technical technology professional
Personally i enjoyed the way the author focuses on business oriented impact of technology evolution, I believe many facts of this book are relevant for today's businesses if they are looking to leap into a more proficient working environment, a highly recommended book in my opinion
At last a guide to meet the IT business challenges facing us all.
With the advent and growing popularity of social entrepreneurs and the democratization of the economy I imagine many start-ups and small businesses will find this an invaluable resource, as they try to realize their dreams on shoe-string budgets. In particular as the competition for IT talent grows. Andy does a great job of defining the challenges, identifying the pain points of so many smaller businesses and developing a creative solution that utilizes the advances in Cloud technology. Somewhat philosophical, as well as identifying that there is a strong education component, I'm part of the organization where he implemented this solution and the results were phenomenal. He does a good job making it an enjoyable read even for the non-geeks who might pick this up.
