Managing a storage system has become a costly and complicated task. The direct labour cost associated with its management is increasing. In addition, organizations incur hidden indirect costs due to slow responsiveness, ineffective utilization, and inflexibility. This paper discusses how the IBM XIV Storage System's revolutionary built-in virtualization architecture provides a way to drastically reduce the costs of managing storage systems.
Getting the balance right between meeting the inbound call expectations of busy customers and optimising telecoms costs is the goal for many ICT managers. Technology now enables far more powerful and flexible contact centre platforms to be created without the capital outlay required for conventional systems.
The ability to leverage location intelligence was critical to the successful rollout of our 3G network as it enabled us to identify potential customers and where they would likely use our enhanced third generation services. As our decision making process was much more informed by location-based data, we could build our network in areas that will serve our customers most effectively.

I stayed in the City Inn a few weeks ago and thought it was great but
was underwhelmed by the Mac. Internet access via the Mac was charged for and the menu interface is akin to that of a mobile phone. Similar sequences of menus to navigate through except displayed on a big screen. The Mac remote only has the option of menu scrolling, so you can't even enter a channel number, very tedious. The visual potential of the Mac has been ignored in favour of over-simplfication.
However, it's a good idea that will hopefully develop further..
