I was fortunate enough to attend the Gartner annual Catalyst conference this past week, where I heard some interesting stories from IT managers about their innovative approaches. Here are links to them:

• How Genetech has delivered more than 100 iPad apps of its own
• The evolution of InsideTrack.com’s IT department to support the cloud
• How the University of Nebraska migrated all of its 68,000 Notes users to Office 365
• Avoiding VDI Gotchas and Hidden Costs
• How Northern Trust Built Its Secure iPad App
• Lessons Learned from Boeing’s Big Data Projects
