 Get the Big Picture
Assessing your information technology
You are certainly
familiar with the Rube Goldberg machine – the delightfully
convoluted set of processes required to accomplish a simple
task. In the day to day interactions of information
technologies, Goldberg is often hard at work. It only takes a
tiny disagreement between software codes or a mismatch of
operating systems for the marble wobbling down the chute to
end up on the floor.

be evaluating your IT investment initiatives in the context of
a comprehensive business strategy that ensures maximum returns
and facilitates that all-important "alignment" of IT and
business requirements. But the real world too often delivers

Simultaneously, you
are witnessing the genius of technology and, yet another
distinct advantage of the opposable thumb. It's the
smartphone. Thanks to blossoming consumer demand, inexorable
technological advancement, and the glorious power of
competition, smartphone sales are pointed skyward.

Facing
E-Discovery
Learn about e-discovery
and the changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure going into
effect on December 1, 2006, and what you can do to make your
business compliant.
The increase of
electronic information has led to a new era in legal proceedings
