value inspiration newyear Just a bit of trivia, December got its name from the Latin word decem (meaning ten) because it was originally the tenth month of the year in the calendar of Romulus c. 750 BC which began in March and we have entered a month named after the Roman god Janus, an appropriate personification of the start of the new year. 

This particular Roman god Janus had two faces so that he could look ahead toward the future and back at the past at the same time. As we get rid of an old year and look forward to a new one, I hope we can all try to be a little like Janus. We know through experience what we did wrong and what we did right, and hope to do better this year. 

Many of us make ambitious new year resolutions while people like me just take a deep breath and hope for the best.…Here's wishing you and your family a happy new year 2020

How do you value your potential IT investment ?

Decisions need data and analysis and the ability to make the right decisions, especially in resource intensive sectors like IT are posing an interesting challenge. The difference between a right decision and the wrong decision could run into thousands of dollars or more and added to that the net cost of the investment gone wrong in terms of business inefficiencies and business lost. Some key questions which typically arise are Value (including “intangible” benefits)?  Risk Management How do I know whether one IT investment is “better” than another (IT or otherwise)?      How do I know when to stop analyzing, accept some risk, and make a decision?   How do I know viability of approach ?         Applied Information Economics (AIE) is the practical application of mathematical models and scientific measurements in order to optimize decisions in uncertain  investment environments.
