James Mullan Why We Don't ALL Love Our Intranets
20th May 2014

But more often than not, If you ask someone what they think of it, they're more likely to say "I hate it" or "It's a mess" or "I can't find anything" than shower it with praise.

Tim Buckley Owen Privacy - Ignorance is Bliss (for Info Pros)
19th May 2014

While the law on privacy may be complicated, the issue is straightforward: people are increasingly concerned to protect it. In the United States, a new White House survey shows how little people trust institutions to protect their data - but can their government offer the reassurance they need when it's one of the biggest offenders? In Europe, comprehensive data protection regulation is on the way - but a new survey shows that nearly half of British companies don't know anything about it. As global players like Facebook, Yahoo, Apple and Microsoft turn every which way to address the issue, and one woman's experiment to hide her pregnancy from the big data marketers proves just too difficult, there are opportunities for information professionals to keep track of it all.

Tim Buckley Owen Whose Identity Is It Anyway?
14th May 2014

Ever-increasing regulatory and compliance requirements mean that the identity and access management (IAM) market continues to grow rapidly. But the millennial generation, used to controlling its own identity across multiple platforms through one social log-in, could be about to break the current top-down approach. Tim Buckley Owen charts the growing phenomenon of Bring Your Own Identity (BYOID), and notes that when employees do eventually take their identity from job to job in the same way as they take their mobile phone now, IT departments risk losing control of IAM and employers could even find themselves having to bid for access to employee identities.
