The Dark Side of Social Media

Thursday, March 1st, 2012

The Dark Side of Social Media

Which of the following statements are true?

  • 845 million people actively use Facebook.
  • Over 50% of the population in North American uses Facebook.
  • Facebook accounts for 1 out of every 5 pageviews on the internet worldwide.
  • There are 2.7 billion likes every single day on Facebook.
  • Facebook has 425 million mobile users.
  • Facebook is a favorite target for cybercriminals.

If you said that they all were true, you’re right. Obviously Facebook and other social media networking sites are a boon for businesses, an opportunity to reach enormous amounts of potential customers. But the last statement is also true. Facebook and other social media sites hold stores of valuable information, and draw cybercriminals like pirates to buried treasure.

This particular type of crime is on the rise. Security research labs report a 20 to 40 percent increase in malware targeting social networking sites. Just this January, a campaign disguised as a friend request attacked Facebook users, who not only didn’t get a new friend, but ended up connecting to a site hosting a malicious JavaScript.

Right about now, you may be wondering why a network support provider is blogging about friends and social media sites. But Facebook and the other sites aren’t just about friendship. Just one look at the numbers shows you the impact they can have on your business. The negative impact can also be huge. The number one cause of data breaches is malicious attacks. Not stolen laptops or accidental sharing, but attacks that arrive via the Internet and more and more often through social media. And social media has a wide range. Your business may have a page. You employees may access Facebook on breaks. They may use company laptops off hours.

But don’t write off social media—it’s too valuable. Instead, we suggest using a two-fold security strategy: education and technology… First, educate your employees. Make sure they use strong passwords and don’t click on links that seem even slightly suspicious. If you know of a particular threat, make sure everyone at your company knows about it. And for the technological half of your security, call us at NCC Data, the leading provider of IT services in the Dallas Fort Worth Area. We stay up-to-date with the newest security solutions and monitor the latest threats, so you don’t have to. You can take advantage of the opportunities that social media offers, knowing that NCC Data, your network support provider, is protecting you from the dark side.

The App Internet: The Death of the Web?

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012

The App Internet: The Death of the Web?

According to some IT experts, the Web is on its way out, and a brave new world of apps will take its place. As the leading provider of IT services in the Dallas Fort Worth Area, we want to be your guide to the ever-changing world of technology, whether it be web-base or app-based. We’re not just a network support provider, but an IT management consulting firm who’ll help you to navigate future shifts and take advantage of new opportunities.

What exactly is the “App Internet?” Forrester CEO George Colony explains it this way: “Two ways of computing have dominated over the past 20 years. The first I’ll call the “Microsoft model” — where local personal computers do most of the work. The second model is the Web/Cloud model, in which most of the work happens on remote servers. Both are outmoded. The Microsoft model fails to leverage the economies of scale in the Cloud; Web/Cloud fail to leverage the exponential growth in the power of local storage and processors.

“So what comes next? Something I call the “App Internet.” In this model, powerful local devices (PCs, smartphones, tablets) run applications that simultaneously and seamlessly take advantage of resources in the Web/Cloud. If you want to see this model in action, check out iPhone and Android applications.”

Forrester isn’t the only IT expert to proclaim the coming of the App Internet. “Over the past few years, one of the most important shifts in the digital world has been the move from the wide-open Web to semiclosed platforms that use the Internet for transport but not the browser for display,” writes Wired’s Chris Anderson. “It’s driven primarily by the rise of the iPhone model of mobile computing, and it’s a world Google can’t crawl, one where HTML doesn’t rule. And it’s the world that consumers are increasingly choosing, not because they’re rejecting the idea of the Web but because these dedicated platforms often just work better or fit better into their lives (the screen comes to them, they don’t have to go to the screen). The fact that it’s easier for companies to make money on these platforms only cements the trend. Producers and consumers agree: The Web is not the culmination of the digital revolution.”

What would this change mean to the Web as we know it? Traditional PCs would be out, replaced by mobile devices. Websites would be replaced by apps (or whatever apps will have evolved into). The App Internet could limit the impact of cloud computing. It will certainly require different IT architecture.

But will the shift to the App Internet really happen? According to Forrester, the tide is already turning. Their research has found that 15% of tablet users say they use apps more than the web. And it’s not just app use that will increase. Forrester predicts that tablets will account for $8.1billion in global app sales in 2015, up from $300 million in 2010.

The App Internet could provide amazing opportunities for businesses savvy enough to embrace it. NCC Data can help your business to take advantage of these opportunities. Whatever the future of computing, our IT experts offer the business strategy consulting that can put your company on the right track, and the computer network support you need to keep you there. We do more than provide IT services in the Dallas Fort Worth Area. We provide you with a guide to the future.

Consolidate Servers, Streamline Your Life

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012

If you’re running your own servers, you’re losing money. Have you considered server consolidation? Server consolidation means taking your group of servers, which typically run at only 15-20% capacity each, and reducing the number of servers through resource sharing to increase efficiency and eliminate redundancies. NCC Data can help you maximize ROI on your data center through this server consolidation process.

Consolidating your servers presents a new array of complex processes in data center management, though, so the most efficient way to manage this is through sever virtualization, which simplifies the data-sharing processes by hiding the more complex details to make server management easier for the average user. These two processes help streamline your IT needs and, while the upfront costs may be significant, the money saved by consolidating your server (not to mention the energy saved through this “green” process) make it a legitimate venture for your company.

Some facts and figures:

  • A worldwide financial group used 52 servers in 2005 and through virtualization, is running on only 14 in 2010.
  • A mid-sized New York law firm has ‘gone green’ through virtualization, reducing its electric consumption. At the same time, the firm has increased network uptime, simplified its disaster recovery backup process, and freed up IT staff to work on other projects. (Source: Network World)

NCC Data has the skills and professionals in place to seamlessly transition your servers to a consolidated system- call us at 972.354.1600 to discuss how we can help you consolidate your servers and cut your IT costs today!

Game Changers: Top Three IT Areas to Watch

Monday, January 30th, 2012

Using IT effectively can be a game changer for your business. As the leading provider of IT services in the Dallas Fort Worth Area, we make sure we’re on top of industry trends so that we can keep our clients up-to-date, and ahead of the competition.

The bottom line for your business? Obviously, IT services need to change with the times. But to get the most business value out of technology (and to stay ahead of the competition), your company needs to go further. You need to look to the future so you can be on the cutting edge of the latest technology. But what if you just want to get on with business?  These changes present opportunity, but they can also be a bit overwhelming. The right computer network support company can partner with you to make sure you’re taking advantage of the technology that’s right for your company. NCC Data, the premier provider of IT services in the Dallas Fort Worth Area, can help your business prepare for a future where IT isn’t just a business support, it’s a game-changer.
Mobile Apps and Cloud Platforms Merging to Create the App Internet

Forrester Research recently issued a report that identifies the top three IT areas expected to provide the most business value in the near future.  Forrester, an independent research company focused on business and technology, asked 208 IT executives where they expected change in the next three years. The ensuing report, “The Top 10 Technology Trends EA Should Watch: 2012 To 2014,” also identified areas IT execs believed would provide the most business value in the next three years. The three top tech opportunities? Business intelligence (BI), mobile apps and application platforms.

It’s anticipated that business intelligence will use improved, cloud-based data mining and reporting tools to help companies save money, increase workflow, and find new markets. BI can also provide businesses with hard numbers that can help to justify decisions made more difficult by the tight economy.

Mobile apps will continue to evolve and provide business value for companies savvy enough to look beyond email and customer-facing mobile solutions. They’re a cost-effective way to make the most of out-of-office time.

“Elastic” applications for cloud services like IaaS (infrastructure as-a-service) and PaaS (platform-as-a-service),  are the application platforms that IT execs think will offer lower total cost of ownership and deliver the most business value.

Businesses that want to take advantage of these opportunities must be prepared—and many are not, lacking the infrastructure and computer network support necessary to support these changes. Companies wishing to utilize next-generation business intelligence and big data will need to consider enterprise data warehousing. If they want to stay ahead of the curve with mobile apps and platform applications, they’ll need to support the BlackBerry, iOS and Android platforms, manage apps on many devices, and create mobile and desktop apps that use new technologies such as HTML5 and PaaS for platform compatibility.

Clearly, the proliferation of mobile apps will call for IT to support at least the BlackBerry, iOS and Android platforms, as well as increased acceptance of personal — and potentially corporate-liable — devices that connect to enterprise resources. The good news, writes Hopkins, is that mobile apps are relatively inexpensive, and they’re improving as context-aware technologies via sensors, location services, and better security and battery management.

The application platforms category, which refers to development of “elastic” applications for cloud services such as IaaS (infrastructure as-a-service) and PaaS (platform-as-a-service), is seen as a top changer by 34 percent of respondents and 28 percent believe app platforms will deliver business value.

Mobile apps and cloud platforms will offer lower TCO (total cost of ownership) and CIOs should plan to capitalize on that over the next few years, writes Forrester’s Hopkins, who also recommends that enterprise IT be prepared to manage apps on many devices and develop mobile and desktop apps that use new technologies such as HTML5 and PaaS for platform compatibility.

In the coming years, Forrester predicts that mobile apps and cloud services will merge to form what the company calls the “App Internet,” where specialized apps will use the storage and processing power of PCs, smartphones and tablets and the scale and flexibility of the cloud to allow applications to communicate with other apps and devices.

The App Internet, if it plays out, would mark the end of the website as we know it and the dawn of the mobile app era, states the Forrester report. It’s also certain to change how developers and enterprises create apps and manage the devices that run them.

“This type of interaction requires a new architecture, and it’s not one that most companies currently support,” writes Hopkins.

Yet there is a contradiction at play in the Forrester survey. Respondents did not indicate plans to change the back-end data warehouse infrastructure that most BI apps depend on.

“The enterprise data warehousing category ranked 19 out of 25 in terms of expectations for change,” writes report author and Forrester analyst Brian Hopkins. “EAs [enterprise architects] should reconsider this in light of the significant technology changes that next-generation BI and big data are driving.”

It should come as no surprise that mobile apps and application platforms were ranked number two and three respectively, with high ranks for expected change and increased value.

Thirty-six percent of respondents see mobile apps for smartphones and tablets as a top changer and 32 percent believe mobile apps will deliver the most business value.

Clearly, the proliferation of mobile apps will call for IT to support at least the BlackBerry, iOS and Android platforms, as well as increased acceptance of personal — and potentially corporate-liable — devices that connect to enterprise resources. The good news, writes Hopkins, is that mobile apps are relatively inexpensive, and they’re improving as context-aware technologies via sensors, location services, and better security and battery management.

The application platforms category, which refers to development of “elastic” applications for cloud services such as IaaS (infrastructure as-a-service) and PaaS (platform-as-a-service), is seen as a top changer by 34 percent of respondents and 28 percent believe app platforms will deliver business value.

Mobile apps and cloud platforms will offer lower TCO (total cost of ownership) and CIOs should plan to capitalize on that over the next few years, writes Forrester’s Hopkins, who also recommends that enterprise IT be prepared to manage apps on many devices and develop mobile and desktop apps that use new technologies such as HTML5 and PaaS for platform compatibility.

In the coming years, Forrester predicts that mobile apps and cloud services will merge to form what the company calls the “App Internet,” where specialized apps will use the storage and processing power of PCs, smartphones and tablets and the scale and flexibility of the cloud to allow applications to communicate with other apps and devices.

The App Internet, if it plays out, would mark the end of the website as we know it and the dawn of the mobile app era, states the Forrester report. It’s also certain to change how developers and enterprises create apps and manage the devices that run them.

“This type of interaction requires a new architecture, and it’s not one that most companies currently support,” writes Hopkins.

The takeaway? Obviously your IT services need to change with time times. But to get the most business value out of technology, you need to go a step further. Being on the cutting edge of the latest changes can put you ahead of the competition. The right computer network support company can partner with you to make sure you’re taking advantage of the technology that’s right for your company.

The Feds Now Have a Mobile Strategy—Do You?

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

Last week  at the  annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, U.S. CIO Steven VanRoekel pledged to make 2012 “the year of the mobile.” VanRoekel, a former Microsoft executive, the past managing director of the Federal Communications Commission, and the second CIO of the United States, plans to remake the way the federal government approaches mobile technology.  Acknowledging that the government has lagged behind in adopting new technology, he is looking outside the government for ideas and best practices, hoping to divide the bridge between the private sector and the feds.

VanRoekel noted that the feds and the private sector are both dealing with the recent transformative IT trends, including the migration to the cloud, the consumerization of IT, and the increasing reliance on mobile devices. In light of these developments, VanRoekel created a new federal mobility strategy with six primary goals:

1. Incorporate the potential of mobile technology into federal government activities;
2. Build mobile technologies and services so they can be reused and shared among agencies and public developers;
3. Manage mobile and wireless acquisition, as well as inventory and expenses efficiently;
4. Create a government-wide foundation to provide mobility services across all agencies;
5. Promote collaboration to enhance mobility technology across government; and
6. Set up a governance structure for federal mobile efforts.

Besides leveling the IT playing field, VanRoekel believes that the new strategy will save the government money—in fact, it already has. By coordinating efforts and analyzing current technology, the administration is able to spot costly, ineffective practices, like the 21 distinct email systems employed by the Department of Agriculture. The department now has one system, which operates at a third of the cost of the former one. “We have a really great opportunity to cut costs while increasing our productivity,” said VanRoekel.

As an IT management consulting firm, we applaud the government’s proactive efforts at organization. We also believe that this strategy (and the fact that there now is one) provides a few takeaway lessons:

  • Mobile technology is here to stay.
  • Every business needs to have a mobile strategy.
  • Employing a mobile strategy can make your business more efficient and save you money.

Not sure where to begin? NCC Data, the premier provider of IT Services in the Dallas-Fort Worth, can help. We offer more than computer network support services — as an IT management consulting firm, we can assist you in creating and employing a mobile strategy that can improve efficiency, and take advantage of the many opportunities that new technology provides.

Even Steven VanRoekel admits that the federal government lags behind most of the private sector. If your business doesn’t have a mobile strategy, it’s time to catch up. Let NCC Data help.

Top Stories of 2011:

Monday, January 9th, 2012

Technology and Life Intertwine


At NCC data, technology is our life. After all, we make our living by providing computer network support. This year, we watched as the rest of the world began to understand—and use—the very real connection between technology and life. Just take a look at some of the top news stories of 2011:

Egypt’s “Facebook Revolution:” Online social networking helped to topple Mubarak’s regime last February. Pro-democracy leaders used Facebook to nurture and organize the movement that kicked off the “Arab Spring.” Their online efforts were so were so successful that Egyptian Internet service providers, under pressure from the government, cut connectivity to the Internet for five days in early 2011.
Britain’s Riots: As if to demonstrate the dark side of social media, the past summer’s riots were largely organized via Blackberry Messenger, Facebook, and Twitter. Prime Minister David Cameron decried the use of social media, and went as far as saying, “Free flow of information can be used for good. But it can also be used for ill. And when people are using social media for violence, we need to stop them.” Cameron’s government considered censoring and/or shutting down social media sites in the wake of the riots.
Japan’s Earthquake/Tsunami and Thailand’s Floods: At first glance, these tragic stories seem to have little to do with technology. But look a little deeper, and you’ll realize that both Japan and Thailand supply much of the PC and component markets. The impact of the damage to Sony, Freescale, Fujitsu, and Texas Instruments facilities isn’t just felt in Asia, but globally. You may feel even it in your pocketbook soon, as the cost  of computers and phones is expected to rise as a result of the shortages.
Steve Jobs: When was the last time a tech hero was so lauded? When was the last time a tech hero was ever lauded? The fact that the world mourned Steve Jobs proved how much technology touches our lives, The fact that many people received the news of his death via one of Jobs’ own devices makes the point all the more relevant, and more poignant.


The fact that technology is intertwining with life is good news for business. It’s easier than ever to connect with customers, stream operations, and cut costs. We can show you how. As the premier provider of IT Services for the Dallas-Fort Worth area, NCC Data, we live and breathe technology. We understand where technology, life, and business intersect. We provide the expert computer network support that allows you to take advantage of the many opportunities provided by this new technology-savvy world.

Three IT Areas to Watch in 2012

Friday, December 30th, 2011

Is your company ready for 2012? The new year is poised to bring big changes in the way the world does business, courtesy of technological advances. Smart businesses are gearing up to take advantage of the new opportunities. At NCC Data, providers of computer network support and IT Services for the Dallas-Fort Worth area, we’re excited about the changes in IT and business—and we want to make sure that none of you are left behind.
What are these changes and how might they impact your business? We advise you pay special attention to:

Big Data - According to IBM, we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day. If that’s not overwhelming in itself, consider that the number is growing: 90% of the data in the world today was created in just the last two years. This “big data” is an opportunity and a challenge. More information can give companies an edge, but only if they can manage, assess, and understand it. Analysts from Gartner, the world’s leading information technology research organization, believe that most organizations are ill prepared to address the challenges posed by big data. In fact Gartner predicts that “Through 2015, more than 85 percent of Fortune 500 organizations will fail to effectively exploit big data for competitive advantage.”

Mobility - Technology will continue to trend toward mobile devices. The pace is expected to quicken. In the next four years, smartphones and tablets will make up more than 90 percent of new devices adopted. If Gartner predictions are accurate, by 2016, at least 50 percent of enterprise email users will rely primarily on a browser, tablet or mobile client instead of a desktop. This shift toward mobility will likely affect software, too, as much more will be created for mobile technology, maybe even excluding traditional PCs.

The Cloud – More businesses will rely on cloud services in order to streamline management and optimize benefits. They may also be more vulnerable, as new security risks are bound to arise. In the next few weeks, we’ll take a closer look at each of these areas, so that you’ll get overviews of each of these opportunities and the challenges they present.

We’re happy to give you up-to-date information, but we’d like to do more. We’d like to provide your business with computer network support services that allow you to take advantage of these changes in technology, while leaving you time to run your business. We’d like to help you utilize big data, make a smooth transition to mobile technology, and ensure that you’re accessing the cloud in the most efficient and secure manner. We can do all this and more. That’s why businesses trust NCC Data for IT Services in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Measuring, Managing and Optimizing IT Infrastructure

Monday, December 19th, 2011

Harvard Business Review reported that companies that successfully manage their IT investments generate returns as much as 40% higher than those of their competitors. But how do you know if your business is getting the maximum benefit from IT? NCC Data, the premier provider of IT Services for Dallas-Fort Worth, suggests you begin by assessing your maturity level.

Gartner Research, the world’s leading information technology research organization, developed an IT infrastructure maturity model, so that companies could evaluate their infrastructure and operations (I&O). Gartner identified six levels of infrastructure maturity:

• Level 0, Survival — Little to no focus on IT infrastructure and operations.
• Level 1, Awareness — Realization that infrastructure and operations are critical to the business; beginning to take actions (in people/organization, process and technologies) to gain operational control and visibility.
• Level 2, Committed — Moving to a managed environment, for example, for day-to-day IT support processes and improved success in project management to become more customer-centric and increase customer satisfaction.
• Level 3, Proactive — Gaining efficiencies and service quality through standardization, policy development, governance structures and implementation of proactive, cross departmental processes, such as change and release management.
• Level 4, Service-Aligned — Managing IT like a business; customer-focused; proven, competitive and trusted IT service provider.
• Level 5, Business Partnership — Trusted partner to the business for increasing the value and competitiveness of business processes, as well as the business as a whole.

Why is it important to understand your company’s I&O maturity level? Because each step up gives your company a boost in terms of service, customer satisfaction, and decreased cost. By assessing where your company is currently, you can see the benefit of moving forward.

The experts at NCC Data, the premier provider of IT Services for Dallas-Fort Worth, can help you to evaluate your organization’s maturity level. Even better, they can help your company build and manage an infrastructure that provides value, productivity and flexibility. They not only offer outstanding computer network support, but understand industry best practices, and stay up to date on tools and products that can enhance your existing business processes.

NCC professionals also understand business, and consult with you to ensure that your infrastructure is strategically aligned with your business goals. By partnering with NCC Data to provide infrastructure optimization for your business, you’re getting computer network support that helps you to run your business more efficiently, manage your IT investments, and generate higher returns on those investments.

Better for Your Business: Laptops or Tablets?

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011

It’s a win-win situation. You’d like to make some year-end purchases to reduce your taxes. Your employees would like some new mobility devices, either laptops or tablets. But before rushing out to take advantage of holiday sales, you’ll want to carefully consider which type of mobile computer best serves your business.
NCC Data’s Dallas and Ft. Worth IT consultants would like to offer a little guidance in regards to the laptops versus tablets debate. To begin with, consider how your business uses mobility devices. Ask yourself:

  • Who is using mobility technology? What are they using it for?
  • Who else might benefit from its use?
  • How are mobile technologies being managed, procured, and evaluated?

The answers to these questions can begin to guide you to the best device for your business. For example, if your employees mostly use mobile technology for email or to send documents when telecommuting, a laptop may be a better choice, as it has a traditional keyboard that makes typing easier. But if you have field-based employees who’d benefit from GPS technology for route planning, or salespeople who need to make impressive presentations, enterprise-ready tablets may be the right choice.
There are a few general differences to keep in mind:
Weight: Tablets are typically lighter than laptops.
Durability: Laptops tend to be more durable than tablets, whose touch screens can be scratched or damaged.
Battery life: Tablets generally have a longer battery life than laptops.

And then there are the more specific differences. Since laptops have been around a while, you’re problem pretty familiar with their attributes. Tablets have some of the same features as laptops, but not all, and some tablets are more business-friendly than others. To make sure you’re getting what’s best for your business, make sure to ask:

  1. Will Adobe Flash work on this tablet? Adobe PDFs?
  2. What apps are included?
  3. How much storage does it have?
  4. What ports and peripherals does it have?
  5. What security features are included?
  6. How will it interface with my company’s current configurations?

These last two questions are vital. It’s important that people using your mobility devices have access to the data they need, and that your data is secure if the device is lost or stolen.

As you can see, there’s a lot to consider. If it all seems a bit much, consider asset management services from a computer network support company like NCC Data. The professionals at NCC Data live and breathe technology, so they’re up-to-date on the latest offerings. They’re plugged into a network of other computer experts, so they hear about the issues and benefits surrounding new technology. By leaving your asset management to NCC Data’s Dallas and Ft. Worth IT consultants, you’ll know that whatever device you buy works for your business and that data protection is in place. You can make the right year-end purchase, make your employees happy, and make sure you use your time for your business, when you use asset management services from NCC Data, the computer network support company you can depend on.

Ten Ways Asset Management Can Reduce Business Costs

Monday, October 17th, 2011
