IT leaders have always needed to exercise fiscal responsibility while meeting business demands for technology. But as digital transformation efforts have intensified in recent years, CIOs have had fewer opportunities to pause and reevaluate IT’s financial situation. “Some organizations have been innovating, transforming, and growing so fast that they haven’t had time to clear up older cost structures that start getting in the way,” says Stewart Buchanan, research vice president on Gartner’s CIO

Power Query allows you to merge (“join” in database terms) two tables together in a variety of different ways, including left and right anti joins. Unfortunately, as I found recently, anti joins don’t fold on SQL Server-related data sources, which can result in performance problems.

Instead, kick off a conversation about guest posting, and soon, you’ll see people debating like crazy. While some say that the popularity of guest posting is dropping, it is still one of the most loved techniques for getting backlinks, with 47% of SEO specialists using it religiously.

Most managers and executives figured letting employees work from home was doing them a favor. But, filled with optimism bias, the IT industry busily crafted collaboration suites whose purpose was to reproduce the in-person work experience on-screen.

The timing of a cold call can make all the difference between landing a sale or getting hung up on. That’s why there’s an endless supply of advice about when to hit the phones, and when to avoid dialing at all costs. Are late mornings on Wednesdays good? How about 4 p.m. on Mondays? While it feels more satisfying to target a specific time and day, these time slots actually don’t guarantee your prospect will answer — and they’ll definitely be harder to manage if you’re juggling multiple time zone
