Is the cloud business ready?
Forming an opinion about cloud computing can be difficult since so much has been written on this subject – and many of the articles are diametrically opposed. The usability and technical advantages of cloud computing described in those articles are not always crystal clear, and often raise more questions than answers. As such, organizations need help in guiding them through the fog that has been created by this diversity of opinions.
Control your cloud with the iPad
Since a few months I am the proud owner of an iPad. Because of our US subsidiary we were able to buy this beautiful designed little computer before it was officially released in The Netherlands, which made me feel even more proud. The feeling of owning a brand new toy is great. The thought of it makes my heart beat faster already.

Twelve tips for successful website migration
We come across or read about it regularly: sites, straight after going live with a new version, needing to shut down part of the site, reinstall the old site, or apply other make-shift solutions. Furthermore, it still happens frequently that when a new site goes live, all old links to that site stop working. Something that is preventable! This check list, put together by Joost de Valk of Onetomarket and Eelco van Beek of Jitscale, aims to help companies (and individuals) with launching a new version of their already existing site.
Web STD
Some weeks ago at the office we were honoured by the visit of Werner Vogels, CTO at Amazon and an STD expert par excellence. It was very interesting to learn about the motivations of a business to make STD its core business. Each page within Amazon.com is the result of tens of services, each one taking care of one part of the page. Why was this method chosen?
