		<description><![CDATA[I am happy to announce that the CIO&#160;Assistant&#8217;s Blog now officially becomes Tao of IT. This is an attempt to merge the blog (with a specific target audience of CIO&#8217;s) and the website (with the larger theme of balanced living &#8211; Tao of Living) into a single entity. This change is part of the evolution [...]
