The tech chasm that has allegedly formed in the workforce created by a cross-generational 1divide  – between those who grew-up with technology and those that didn’t – is vastly overstated. 

Over the past 18 months we have seen the irresistible rise of a new phenomenon, cloud computing. This term is given by the IT industry to a new business model for computing, one where capacity for computer, storage and networking can be dynamically acquired, on demand,and paid for according to usage. 

Many IT administrators believe the cloud is staged to offer adaptable, flexible and scalable resources at a fraction of the cost. But with varying definitions, strategies and expectations, the cloud is still clearly in the developmental stages. Take a look at this white paper for an expert analysis of cloud computing. 

General-purpose PDAs and ruggedized enterprise mobile computers are made for separate markets, designed for different tasks, and vary by their size, weight and materials. But the biggest difference between these device types is their total cost of ownership (TCO). This white paper explains how your business can get TCO as low as possible. 

Mobile operators are in a unique position to capitalise on the M2M (Machine to machine) opportunity with operators such as Vodafone, o2, Verizon and KPN already putting significant resources into developing M2M business units. 

Typical IT departments feature islands of isolated infrastructure, leading to inefficient use of servers. The "application grid" concept allows data centres to run more efficiently, using less hardware and less software. This paper explains. 

The expectations, working methods and tools used by employees in all organisations have changed as a result of advances in communications technologies. 

Hear how agencies are using technology to tackle challenges, such as fraud and cyber security, as well as to innovate, such as with crime intelligence.
