- PDF Now an ISO Standard Along With Office Ipen XML

The Portable Document Format (PDF) is now an ISO International Standard - ISO 32000-1. This move follows a decision by Adobe Systems Incorporated, original developer and copyright owner of the format, to relinquish control to ISO, who is now in charge of publishing the specifications for the current version (1.7) and for updating and developing future versions.

 CIO Productivity Kit IT Infrastructure, Strategy, and Charter Template

Adobe said that it is committed to open architecture and by passing the copyright to ISO they now have a product that competes with MicrosoftÂ’s Office Open XML, a proprietary XML-based document format it built for its Office 2007 productivity suite, to the ISO. The ISO approved OOXML on April 1 in a controversial vote that is still being contested by some of the standards bodies that took part in it.

- IANA and ICANN Sites Hacked by

Security and HackersMuslim hackers yesterday defaced the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) site. IANA is the organization responsible for managing the DNS root zone and assigning the DNS operators for the Internet's top-level domains, such as .com and .org. DNS, which translates the domains and URLs - such as e-janco.com - into IP addresses.

A group calling itself "NetDevilz" claimed responsibility for the hack, which Thursday morning temporarily redirected visitors to the sites for IANA and ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers).

Users who tried to reach iana.com, iana-servers.com, icann.com and icann.net were shunted to an illegitimate site. According to a screen capture of the defacement snapped by zone-h.org, the bogus site simply displayed a taunting message claiming ownerhship of the assignment processes.

- Average Worker Wastes 28% of The Day

Based on a study published in the New York Times, a typical worker in information based job wastes 28% of their day with unimportant and personal e-mails, text messages, voice mails.  According to the ITProductivity.org – an Information Technology think tank – most organizations would be able to help their bottom line by doing the following:

  • Install a robust firewall and SPAM filter at the front end of the corporate mail server
  • Improve SPAM filters on both desktops and smart phones
  • Provide company owned laptops and smart phones that have robust SPAM filtering software and
  • Limit the accessibility to POP and non-company mail servers

- 35% of Businesses Do Not Open Doors After a Disaster

It is impossible to deny how important disaster recovery and business continuity are in today's digital economy.  In a survey conducted by FEMA fully 35% of all businesses that are impacted by a disaster never re-open their doors.

Disaster Plan - SecurityWithout systems in place to keep applications and data flowing after a natural disaster or other interruption, a business risks losses that extend far beyond a manufacturing plant or data center. Many businesses incur ongoing financial loses, damage to a businesses' reputation, and possible regulatory and legal sanctions. In a worst-case scenario like 35% of the companies that FEMA estimated, a company can find its existence threatened.

How can an organization tackle disaster recovery and business continuity issues effectively? How can it develop a strategy that reduces risk and increases the likelihood of success? And how can it devise a roadmap for coping with constant change? There are no easy answers, but the Disaster Recovery Planning Template with the Security Manual  Template are a step in the right direction.

- IT Hit by Tough Economic Times

Hiring and spending has slowed down in IT as businesses try to control costs in tough economic times

Park City, UT -  The prospect for IT professionals is not good. Janco has found that IT compensation growth remains flat, hiring is limited to key replacements, and discretionary spending has been cut back and in many cases eliminated. The CEO of Janco said, "As we collected compensation data for our mid-year 2008 IT Salary Survey we found that at the end of the first quarter businesses turned off the faucet for IT spending. Many businesses, in response to economic projections, slowed down and halted discretionary spending for software and hardware as well as placed hiring requisitions on a slow track."

 Salary Survey 2006 The summary findings in Janco 2008 Mid-Year IT Salary Survey are:

  • Hiring demand is now the lowest it has been since 2004. Many enterprises have stopped hiring except for key replacements and those positions are being replaced at lower salary levels.
  • Enterprises have slowed down and in many cases eliminated discretionary spending by IT. This has resulted in fewer projects being initiated, consultants use being reduced (if not eliminated), and a slow-down of initiatives that had already been approved.
  • In the last twelve (12) months the increases in compensation for most IT Professionals were lower than increases in the cost of living.
  • The mean increase in compensation for CIO's was less that 1.5%. The mean compensation for CIOs in large enterprises now is $179,823 and $171,755 for CIOs in  mid-sized enterprises. (Large enterprises have over $500 million in revenue and mid-sized have are $100 to $499 million in revenue).
  • The mean compensation (which includes bonuses) for all Executive IT positions surveyed now is $144,645 in large enterprises and $131,763 in mid-sized enterprises.
  • Positions that were in high demand in the 4th quarter of 2007 such as CSOs and others to develop new Web 2.0 applications are now back to normal hiring patterns.         
  • Administrative positions in some IT functions are now being looked at as those that are expendable
