❑ TEXT 1:

For many years, researchers have drawn attention to the importance of alignment between business and Information Technology (IT). In early studies, this often meant linking the business plan and the IT plan. Another perspective involved ensuring congruence between the business strategy and the IT strategy. Still another has required examining the fit between business needs and information system priorities. These conceptualizations have been enlarged over time and now research recognizes many points of alignment between business and IT.
            

Early motivation for alignment emerged from a focus on strategic business planning and long-range IT planning in the early 1980s. From a business perspective, planning was characterized as a top-down and a bottom-up process and departmental (e.g., IT) plans were created in support of corporate strategies. From an IT perspective, decisions on hardware and software had such long-term implications that tying them to current and future plans of the organizational unit was a practical necessity.
           

The business and IT performance implications of alignment have been demonstrated empirically and through case studies during the last decade. Simply put, the findings support the hypothesis that those organizations that successfully align their business strategy with their IT strategy will outperform those that do not. Alignment leads to more focused and strategic use of IT which, in turn, leads to increased performance.

❑ TRADUÇÃO - TEXT 1:

For many years, researchers have drawn attention to the importance of alignment between business and Information Technology (IT). In early studies, this often meant linking the business plan and the IT plan.

Há muitos anos, pesquisadores chamam a atenção para a importância do alinhamento entre negócios e Tecnologia da Informação (TI). Nos primeiros estudos, isso geralmente significava vincular o plano de negócios e o plano de TI.

Another perspective involved ensuring congruence between the business strategy and the IT strategy. Still another has required examining the fit between business needs and information system priorities.

Outra perspectiva envolvia garantir a congruência entre a estratégia de negócios e a estratégia de TI. Ainda outro exigiu examinar o ajuste entre as necessidades de negócios e as prioridades do sistema de informação.

These conceptualizations have been enlarged over time and now research recognizes many points of alignment between business and IT.
Essas conceituações foram ampliadas ao longo do tempo e agora a pesquisa reconhece muitos pontos de alinhamento entre negócios e TI.

Early motivation for alignment emerged from a focus on strategic business planning and long-range IT planning in the early 1980s.

A motivação inicial para o alinhamento surgiu de um foco no planejamento estratégico de negócios e no planejamento de TI de longo prazo no início dos anos 80.

From a business perspective, planning was characterized as a top-down and a bottom-up process and departmental (e.g., IT) plans were created in support of corporate strategies. 

De uma perspectiva de negócios, o planejamento foi caracterizado como um processo de cima para baixo e de baixo para cima e os planos departamentais (por exemplo, TI) foram criados para apoiar as estratégias corporativas.

From an IT perspective, decisions on hardware and software had such long-term implications that tying them to current and future plans of the organizational unit was a practical necessity.
Do ponto de vista da TI, as decisões sobre hardware e software tinham implicações tão duradouras que vinculá-las aos planos atuais e futuros da unidade organizacional era uma necessidade prática.

The business and IT performance implications of alignment have been demonstrated empirically and through case studies during the last decade.

As implicações do alinhamento nos negócios e no desempenho de TI foram demonstradas empiricamente e por meio de estudos de caso durante a última década.

Simply put, the findings support the hypothesis that those organizations that successfully align their business strategy with their IT strategy will outperform those that do not.

Simplificando, os resultados suportam a hipótese de que as organizações que alinham com sucesso sua estratégia de negócios com sua estratégia de TI irão superar aquelas que não o fazem.

Alignment leads to more focused and strategic use of IT which, in turn, leads to increased performance.

O alinhamento leva a um uso mais focado e estratégico da TI que, por sua vez, leva ao aumento do desempenho.

❑ TEXT 2:

Technology Legislation

Technology-related legislation can have a huge impact on growing businesses, and some interesting issues are likely to pop up with the new Congress of the United States this year. Of great interest to growing businesses are the topics of data protection and net neutrality.
            

Laws that lay out more stringent requirements for retaining and protecting employee and customer data could be on the horizon. "The laws that apply to big business are going to trickle down to small business," says Ann Westerheim, founder and president of technology consulting firm Ekaru. "Businesses need to have that on their radar. You don't want to get hit with a fine because you're not complying." She suggests looking at laws like Sarbanes-Oxley to get an idea of where new tech laws could be heading.
           

The good news is that proper data protection is something businesses should be doing anyway. "A lot of the measures required to protect employee and customer data are just good business practices," says Westerheim. Growing businesses can head off potential compliance costs by gradually shoring up their IT security and data protection now.
            

Net neutrality is likely to be a hot issue again after stalling in the Senate last year. Net neutrality proponents want regulations to prevent network providers from prioritizing certain Internet traffic. “Net neutrality is a big issue for small businesses,” says Westerheim. A net neutrality law stands a better chance of passing with strong Democratic backing this year, but it figures to be a hard-fought battle. Digital copyright issues could also come to the fore in Congress. With the changes brought about by the last election, it will be an interesting year for entrepreneurs to keep an eye on the goings-on in Washington.

Technology Legislation

Technology-related legislation can have a huge impact on growing businesses, and some interesting issues are likely to pop up with the new Congress of the United States this year. Of great interest to growing businesses are the topics of data protection and net neutrality.
A legislação relacionada à tecnologia pode ter um grande impacto no crescimento dos negócios, e algumas questões interessantes provavelmente surgirão com o novo Congresso dos Estados Unidos este ano. De grande interesse para empresas em crescimento são os tópicos de proteção de dados e neutralidade da rede.

Laws that lay out more stringent requirements for retaining and protecting employee and customer data could be on the horizon.

Leis que estabeleçam requisitos mais rigorosos para retenção e proteção de dados de funcionários e clientes podem estar no horizonte.

"The laws that apply to big business are going to trickle down to small business," says Ann Westerheim, founder and president of technology consulting firm Ekaru.

"As leis que se aplicam às grandes empresas vão se estender às pequenas empresas", diz Ann Westerheim, fundadora e presidente da empresa de consultoria de tecnologia Ekaru.

"Businesses need to have that on their radar. You don't want to get hit with a fine because you're not complying." She suggests looking at laws like Sarbanes-Oxley to get an idea of where new tech laws could be heading.
"As empresas precisam ter isso em seu radar. Você não quer ser multado porque não está cumprindo." Ela sugere olhar para leis como a Sarbanes-Oxley para ter uma ideia de onde as novas leis de tecnologia podem estar indo.

The good news is that proper data protection is something businesses should be doing anyway.

A boa notícia é que a proteção de dados adequada é algo que as empresas deveriam fazer de qualquer maneira.

"A lot of the measures required to protect employee and customer data are just good business practices," says Westerheim.

"Muitas das medidas necessárias para proteger os dados de funcionários e clientes são apenas boas práticas de negócios", diz Westerheim.

Growing businesses can head off potential compliance costs by gradually shoring up their IT security and data protection now.
As empresas em crescimento podem evitar possíveis custos de conformidade reforçando gradualmente sua segurança de TI e proteção de dados agora.

Net neutrality is likely to be a hot issue again after stalling in the Senate last year. Net neutrality proponents want regulations to prevent network providers from prioritizing certain Internet traffic.

A neutralidade da rede provavelmente será um assunto quente novamente depois de estagnar no Senado no ano passado. Os defensores da neutralidade da rede querem regulamentações para impedir que os provedores de rede priorizem determinado tráfego da Internet.

“Net neutrality is a big issue for small businesses,” says Westerheim. A net neutrality law stands a better chance of passing with strong Democratic backing this year, but it figures to be a hard-fought battle.

“A neutralidade da rede é um grande problema para as pequenas empresas”, diz Westerheim. Uma lei de neutralidade da rede tem mais chances de passar com forte apoio democrata este ano, mas parece ser uma batalha árdua.

Digital copyright issues could also come to the fore in Congress. With the changes brought about by the last election, it will be an interesting year for entrepreneurs to keep an eye on the goings-on in Washington.

Questões de direitos autorais digitais também podem vir à tona no Congresso. Com as mudanças trazidas pela última eleição, será um ano interessante para os empresários ficarem de olho no que está acontecendo em Washington.

❑ TEXT 3:          

Privacy groups and lawmakers are calling for a new and broader investigation into Google and its privacy practices after the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that it found no evidence that the company broke eavesdropping laws.
           

Late last week, the FCC reported that there was no legal precedent to find fault with Google collecting unprotected home Wi-Fi data, such as personal email , passwords and search histories, with its roaming Street View cars between 2007 and 2010. However, the FCC did fine Google $ 25,000 for obstructing its investigation.
           

The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), a national privacy watchdog, disagreed with the FCC findings. In a letter sent to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder today, EPIC asked that the Department of Justice investigate Google’s
surreptitious collecting of Wi-Fi data from residential networks. U.S. Rep. Edward J. Markey, a senior member of the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee, has also stepped into the fray.
          

"The circumstances surrounding Google’s siphoning of personal information leave many unanswered questions,"Markey said today in an email to Computerworld." I believe Congress should immediately hold a hearing to get to the bottom of this serious situation."

Privacy groups and lawmakers are calling for a new and broader investigation into Google and its privacy practices after the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that it found no evidence that the company broke eavesdropping laws.
Grupos de privacidade e legisladores estão pedindo uma investigação nova e mais ampla sobre o Google e suas práticas de privacidade depois que a Comissão Federal de Comunicações (FCC) dos EUA anunciou que não encontrou nenhuma evidência de que a empresa quebrou as leis de espionagem.

Late last week, the FCC reported that there was no legal precedent to find fault with Google collecting unprotected home Wi-Fi data, such as personal email , passwords and search histories, with its roaming Street View cars between 2007 and 2010. However, the FCC did fine Google $ 25,000 for obstructing its investigation.
No final da semana passada, a FCC informou que não havia precedente legal para encontrar falhas no fato de o Google coletar dados Wi-Fi domésticos desprotegidos, como e-mail pessoal, senhas e históricos de pesquisa, com seus carros do Street View entre 2007 e 2010. No entanto, o A FCC multou o Google em $ 25.000 por obstruir sua investigação.

The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), a national privacy watchdog, disagreed with the FCC findings. In a letter sent to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder today, EPIC asked that the Department of Justice investigate Google’s surreptitious collecting of Wi-Fi data from residential networks.

O Centro de Informações sobre Privacidade Eletrônica (EPIC), um órgão nacional de vigilância da privacidade, discordou das conclusões da FCC. Em uma carta enviada ao procurador-geral dos EUA, Eric Holder, hoje, a EPIC pediu que o Departamento de Justiça investigasse a coleta clandestina de dados Wi-Fi de redes residenciais pelo Google.

U.S. Rep. Edward J. Markey, a senior member of the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee, has also stepped into the fray.
O deputado americano Edward J. Markey, membro sênior do Comitê de Energia e Comércio da Câmara dos EUA, também entrou na briga.

"The circumstances surrounding Google’s siphoning of personal information leave many unanswered questions,"Markey said today in an email to Computerworld." I believe Congress should immediately hold a hearing to get to the bottom of this serious situation."

“As circunstâncias que envolvem o desvio de informações pessoais pelo Google deixam muitas perguntas sem resposta”, disse Markey hoje em um e-mail para a Computerworld. Acredito que o Congresso deveria realizar imediatamente uma audiência para chegar ao fundo desta grave situação."
