Contact: Mike Fratto, mfratto@nwc.com July 14: Next Gen IT - Managing The Remote Office. Simplifying and centralizing remote office administration is a reasonable goal in the best of times.

Contact Lorna Garey at lgarey@cmp.com July 21: CIOs Uncensored - Oregon Goes Green. The state of Oregon has consolidated 11 agency data centers into a one Tier III data center. Data center administrator Mark Reyer describes how the state was dealing with a fragmented IT infrastructure and wanted to reduce its data center operating budget while maintaining or improving service levels, minimize risks related to business continuity and the ability to support future growth, and ensure that costs associated with the consolidation were recovered in a short period of time. By leveraging several approaches such as virtualization, and using the network to automate resource allocation, Reyerıs team has been able to deliver a ıshared-information technology infrastructureı that serves thousands of state and local government programs and businesses, and therefore millions of citizens. In addition, itıs on track to realize more than 30% in power reduction from IT operations, with an additional 25% reduction upon completion. Contact John Soat at jsoat@cmp.com. July 28: Fixed Mobile Convergence. Fixed-mobile convergence extends cost-effective enterprise voice communications to mobile users inside and outside the office. Many FMC vendors include the ability to seamlessly move calls between the wireline and wireless networks, while Wi-Fi-enabled systems can solve the indoor coverage problem so prevalent in the workplace. Employees gain a single number and voice-mail box. When we looked at this space a year ago, reality didnıt match the hype. Have offerings improved enough that one employee, one phone number is finally an affordable reality.

Just as the SOA concept is finally gaining traction with CIOs for defining and provisioning IT infrastructure to allow different applications to exchange data and participate in business processes, some bloggers and industry standards-bearers are saying Web Oriented Architecture, or WOA, will either replace SOA or at least be the next evolution of SOA. While a large part of the pundit community has reacted poorly to yet another three-letter acronym for scaling services, in this article weıll look at whether WOA does indeed provide deeper insights into how best to implement SOA. Contact: Roger Smith at rsmith@techweb.com August 18/25: CIOs Uncensored: Outsourcing: Offshore, Near Shore -- What Makes The Most Sense?

We examine a new class of tools that claims to be able to gauge your policy effectiveness. Contact: Lorna Garey at lgarey@cmp.com September 8: Next Gen IT: The Ultimate Infrastructure.
