The Global Grid is alive!
...and infested with trojans, viruses, and "black hats." You may think the idea of the Global Grid is laughable, or as far in the future as nanotechnology or quantum computing appears to be. But you'd be wrong.
As shown repeatedly in the not-too-distant past, DDOS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks are just one example of the power of distributed systems. The bad news is that the "bad guys" more easily share and work together than the good guys. The good news is that lessons can and ARE being learned from being on the receiving end of these "rogue confederations." Agent technology, peer-to-peer and client/server encrypted communications, instant messaging, web services, "zombies", spreading work across "idle" resources, etc..
Let's discuss what "real business" can (and better) learn from hackers, teenagers, the open source community, and of course legitimate business and organizations.

In Gartner's 2002 CIO survey, content management was ranked as the No. 2 priority. Why? The technologies of Web content and document management, imaging and workflow are proven business productivity tools. Regardless of the slowdown in the economy, there remains one significant problem that all enterprises are dealing with: the explosive growth of all forms of electronic content. Content management is extremely important to CIOs because:
- Content costs money - to create, maintain and search.
- Content can drive revenue.
- Enterprises can sell content, use it to attract and retain customers, train employees and share intellectual capital.
- Content enables the real-time enterprise by bringing the correct information into the correct worker's hands at the right time.
Too much content, however, can stand in the way of these goals. With these facts in mind, it is imperative that enterprises bring electronic content under control and present a unified view of this content to their employees, customers and partners. This is not an easy task.

The drum beat rolls on and on--content is the currency for competing in the digital age. We are now struggling to effectively utilize the structured and unstructured electronic information that we store in electronic repositories and distribute through our business portals. We are striving to make our content actionable, and ensure that we can find the right information, just in time. Most significantly, we are now beginning to benefit from third generation, content-conscious business systems. Over the next twelve months, we will witness the steady evolution of electronic discovery environments. Not only will we find content in context, but we will also benefit from the practical knowledge encoded in extended business networks.
