ITの価値をどう伝えるか——世界のCIOが実践する5つのヒント
もはやテクノロジーなしに事業は動かない。それは誰もが知っている。それでもITがコストセンターと見られてしまうのはなぜか。理由の1つに、CIOがその価値をうまく伝えられていないと言えるのではないか。 「今日のCIOは1つのプレッシャーを感じている。テクノロジー投資の価値を、どうステークホルダーに伝えるか、だ」——GartnerのディスティングイッシュドVPアナリスト兼チーフリサーチオフィサー、Chris Howard氏は最近の投稿でこう指摘する。「CIOがITの価値をどう測り、どう伝えるか——それがITをビジネスのパートナーと見るか、コストセンターと見るかを決める」。 Schneider ElectricのCIO(北米担当)、Bobby Cain氏はこう言う。「ITの価値を発信することに徹底的にこだわる、これはデジタルリーダーの基本だと思っている。ビジネスとテクノロジーが融合する今、ITを利益の推進力として明確に位置づけることは我々CIOの責任だ」。 ではITの価値を効果的に伝えるために、CIOたちはどのようなアプローチを実践しているのか、以下に5つをみていこう。 ITのポジティブな影響を習慣的に発信する ITが提供する価値は明かだ。だからわざわざ宣伝しなくてもいい——そう思うべきではない。「価値が何かを言葉にしなければ、伝わらない」と、MITスローン経営大学院シニアレクチャラー、George Westerman氏は言う。人々はテクノロジーを電気のように当たり前のものとして扱い、問題が起きたときだけITに目を向ける。「多くの経営幹部はITの不満しか経験しない。発信しなければ、印象はネガティブなものだけになる」。 この発信は新任のうちから始めるのが理想だ。「就任直後が最も効果的で、期待値を設定できる。まだ発信していないなら、『不満の声があることは承知している。一部は事実だが、そ
Your Encrypted Backups Are Slow Because Encryption Isn't the Bottleneck
If you encrypt files before pushing them to backup storage, you've probably assumed the encryption step is what makes it slow. That's what I assumed too. Then I looked at the numbers. On any modern x86 chip with AES-NI, AES-256-GCM runs at 4-8 GB/s on a single core. ChaCha20-Poly1305 isn't far behind. The CPU is not the problem. The problem is that your encryption tool reads a chunk of data, encrypts it, writes it out, then reads the next chunk. It's serial. The disk sits idle while the CPU works, and the CPU sits idle while the disk works. One person decided to fix that by applying the same async I/O technique that powers modern databases to file encryption. The result hits GB/s throughput on commodity NVMe hardware, and the whole thing is about 900 lines of Rust. What Is Concryptor? Conc
React Native Android plugin not found: what I would check first
If a React Native Android build fails with a message that a plugin was not found, it can look very specific at first. But in practice, “plugin not found” errors can come from several different categories of problems: React Native Gradle plugin setup settings.gradle misconfiguration plugin management issues included build resolution problems version mismatches after upgrades autolinking-related setup problems mixed Expo / bare React Native Android config So even though the error message sounds narrow, the debugging still needs structure. This is the checklist I would go through first. Why this error wastes time A “plugin not found” error often pushes people toward one of two bad reactions: randomly changing Gradle files until something works assuming the plugin name in the message is the on
