You might not expect to see four-letter words on InfoWorld.com, but editor-in-chief Steve Fox this morning dropped one in his column: silo. Silo is the last in a list of seven dirty words Fox compiled. He described them as terms that if you say in polite IT conversation “someone will hand you a bar of soap to wash your mouth out.” Fox’s complete list is available here. You won’t find asset management on that list of dirty words, but IT is a business: Run it like one offers guidance on how to better manage your IT assets and portfolio. Writer Leon Erlanger explains the category: Today, asset management suites go much further than inventory and software metering, storing financial and ownership information — or integrating with existing financial, service management, and HR systems — so asset data is associated with users, warranties, service contracts, leasing agreements, help desk calls, tax and depreciation information, and change management solutions. Another two words you might not expect to see on InfoWorld are Tiger Woods, but Jon Udell blogs about him in a post on using tools to visualize distance and accuracy data for the golfer.
