Industry Insight

 

We are recommending that professionals who are considering technology-based business decisions for their organizations in 2008 take a look at the article we are providing. It is excerpted from EM&C magazine and authored by Joe Knisley – and it covers the most recent BISCI conference.

 

The headline touts:

“Conservation efforts have a social cachet and saving dollars proves to be just as important”

 

The article caught our attention because it touches on areas that regularly impact you, our valued clients. The article offers up ideas and trends that we know are important to informed business leaders so note that you will find these timely topics covered:

 

 - The convergence of Internet Protocol (IP) networks to help businesses achieve a greater return on their information technology (IT) investments;

 

 - Companies looking beyond voice-over-IP (VoIP) and data traffic to include security systems, building automation, and access control on the network;

 

 - Retailers who are rolling out new point-of-sale systems, video conferencing, multimedia, music – and more;

 

 - Hospitality businesses addressing the demands of hotel guests who are expecting more in-room services, such as high-definition movies/TV and Internet access.

 

The conference addressed a practical blend of new technology applications, business trends and industry standards. It also focused on the rapidly emerging phenomenon of “Green Building” and the related topic of “LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)” which plays a big role in the operating efficiency of green building.

 

We put the article into a reader friendly format for your convenience and we trust you will find it both informative and useful.  Link to it here.  (You can also find other topics on our INSIGHTS page.)
