Hear
the fan whirring, the belts whining and the engine grinding? That’s the sound
of your technology infrastructure getting older by the minute. Most small
businesses updated their equipment in 1999 to head off a Y2K catastrophe. By the
time they needed more high-powered resources, we were in the throes of a
recession.
But
today, with the economy on the rise and infrastructure growing outdated, SMBs
are again turning to technology partners (a.k.a., value-added resellers, systems
integrators, channel partners or IT solution providers) to help upgrade their
systems and guide them to the best technology choices for the future. (Click here to read more.)

Spam
is expensive, irritating and time-consuming. Nobody likes it, everybody with an
e-mail address complains about it, and some of the biggest companies in the
country are waging a very public war against it.
Right
now, many solution providers may be asking how they can tap into the
opportunities presented by this phenomenon and where to find their market. (Click here to read more.)

This
month marks the debut of a new alliance of information technology solution
providers. The Information Technology Solution Providers Alliance is a nonprofit
trade association, but its charter is not to network and lobby regulators like
so many industry groups. It instead seeks to educate and sway end users -- small
and medium-sized businesses to be specific -- about the advantages of using
solutions providers to source hardware, software, connectivity and managed
services.
Think
"Got Milk?," the dairy industry's slogan, or "The Other White
Meat," the mantra of the National Pork Board.
The
ITSPA hopes to create a similar branding campaign for vendors' trusted channel
partners -- a nonhomogenous group that it calls "solution providers." (Click here to read more.)

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – Following the Y2K crisis and an economic downturn,
many companies have put off hardware and network upgrades to save money. But
they have done so at considerable risk, according to the Information Technology
Solution Providers Alliance.
Citing figures from a survey conducted by the Association of Computer Operations
Managers, the ITSPA warned that older hardware and networks are increased
security risks and also hamper worker productivity. (Click here to read more.)

Much emphasis has been placed on
the warm weather most of the country experienced last winter-by most accounts,
the warmest in more than a century. The arrival of spring brought the end of the
winter heating season, and industry analysts suggest that the United States
will, for the first time in recent years, have ended the season with a surplus
of natural gas in storage.
Good news for just about everyone, but it's critical that consumers, as well as
the energy industry, not be lulled into a false sense of security. In the aftermath of the tragic
attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Texas and the United States must
prepare now for the possibility of a major energy crisis. (Click here to read more.)

Could a fish be responsible for the
design of the most popular Pocket PC device available today? That's probably a
stretch, but the lure of trout definitely played a part in the conception of
Compaq Computer Corp.'s iPAQ personal digital assistant. (Click here to read more.)

How
Neil Franklin found an edge or two in the dicey telecommunications business.
Get close to your customers? Neil Franklin, the
founder and CEO of Dataworkforce, a high-tech placement company that's based in
London, gets his inside information by hiring veterans of companies he wants to
book as clients. He snagged Michael Carr, a veteran of Ericsson, to help him
smoke out the details of an Ericsson assignment for AT&T in 1999, a job
requiring over 50 engineers to test switches and radio base stations in Texas
and California. Hires from Nortel and BT (the former British Telecom) have
helped win other contracts. (Click

These
engineers work as temps on wireless projects all over the world
Paul Finster Fleming
has wandered the world for the past seven years. His British passport boasts
stamps from 45 countries. He has lived in chilly Brussels and sunny Rio de
Janeiro. He met his wife in India. Their growing brood -- now numbering five --
accompanied them to Washington for a year. Yet in all that time, the engineer,
43, hasn't had a permanent job. (Click here to read more.)

In the aftermath of the tragic
attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Texas and the United States must
prepare now for the possibility of a major energy crisis.
Sounds somewhat
familiar, doesn't it? After all, it was just nine months ago that experts were
making much the same prediction.
They warned us of
continued California power outages, $3-per-gallon gasoline and soaring natural
gas prices. Fortunately, California hasn't had a blackout since May, gasoline
dropped to $1.50 a gallon and natural gas prices fell 66%.
Several factors
helped us dodge that crisis. Among them: a relatively mild summer and a cooling
global economy that enabled refiners and producers to catch up with demand. (Click here to read more.)
