Trends in Technology
Garter, Inc analysts highlighted the top ten strategic technologies and trends for 2008. Gartner defines a strategic technology as one with potential for significant impact on enterprise in the next three years. Take a few moments to get familiar with the definitions of technology trends that will impact your business.
1. Green IT
According to the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition, e-waste is the fastest-growing part of the waste stream, and the Environmental Protection Agency estimates e-waste accounts for 2 percent of the municipal solid waste stream in the United States. More than 1,000 chemicals are used during electronics production, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. In addition to manufacturing materials, going green means focus on power consumption. IT departments spent 17 cents per dollar to power and cool servers in 1996. Ten years later, by September 2006, IT departments were spending 48 cents per dollar to power and cool servers, according to IDC research. IDC predicts that this cost will grow to 78 cents per dollar by 2010. The focus on green is as much about cost reduction as it is about the environment.
The Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition estimates that there are 500 obsolete computers in the United States, and 130 million cell phones thrown away every year. It is no wonder that e-waste and Green IT are topping the charts as the primary initiative for technology and trends in 2008.
According to IDC, over 50% of customers consider a vendor’s green initiatives and capabilities when selecting a supplier. One third of customers already consider it very important that suppliers have “green offerings”. 80% of Executives say that e-waste and Green IT is growing in importance as an initiative in their organization. The number one (#1) driver for Green IT adoption is economic, to reduce operational costs.

2. Unified Communications
20% of the installed based with PBX has already migrated to IP telephony, and more than 80% are already conducting trials and preparing for the most significant shift in telephony since the adoption of cell phones. Voice over Internet Protocol, VoIP, is also known as IP Telephony, Broadband Telephony, and Voice over Broadband. A rose by any other name, the appeal for low cost is what smells so sweet. A single network can carry voice, data, video, and mobile applications on fixed and mobile networks. Get ready to rethink networks as completely integrated communication of voice, video, and data. You will be surfing the Internet, accessing data, and sharing video on your cell phone. You will be making international calls from your notebook computer. Hardware is interchangeable, it is just a matter of the adoption rate for new technology.
What company is setting the pace with unified communications? Cisco.
3. Business Process Modeling
Business Process Modeling is the structured comparison of how things really work, how we want them to work, similar processes with measured results, and planning to move from current state to future state. In IT, business processing modeling requires system and application architects to work with programmers, designers, and analysts to coordinate the design theory, the development, and the institutionalizing of the systems and applications. In other words, the individuals who design the systems and applications will work with the people who build it, and with the ones who fix the bugs.
In some environments the collaboration of architects, developers, and analysts is already accepted as common practice. However, it is uncommon enough to actually make the top ten list of future trends for the next three years. “The beauty and the curse of system architects and programmers is that they are just like the applications that they design based on your specifications. They do exactly what you tell them to do,” said John Mehrmann, “so you better make sure that it is exactly what you want them to do.”
4. Metadata Management
Metadata management is critical to a information infrastructure, it is the relationship and usage of data. There are three primary segments of data in Enterprise Information Management (EIM) strategy. These three segments are customer data integration, product information management, and product management. Metadata management is less of a technical challenge and more of an organizational process. Simply defined, metadata management uses data from complex structured data sources and databases to create models (schemas) and mappings. Import data to rapidly identify patterns, commonalities, differentiators, and create models. Use design patterns, solution templates, and operators to simplify development of metadata applications.
How is metadata being used today? Metadata captures customer registration to model buying habits, returns, peripheral purchases, and warranty extensions. Metadata is used to track warranty failures, customer contact through multiple channels that include call center and service, and it can be used to selectively offer marketing materials and sales incentives.
What company is setting the pace with metadata management? SAS
5. Virtualization 2.0
Virtualization technologies are infrastructure improvement enablers to improve IT resource utilization and increase flexibility. Automation technologies can improve resource efficiency and automate flexibility based on requirements and services managed holistically, with high levels of resiliency. IT resources adapt automatically to changing workloads and reduce cost. Expect to hear more about virtualization as technologies and trends impact the holy grail of Green IT, better management of resources, and lower costs.
6. Mashup & Composite Apps
Composite Applications are the assembly of existing components in IT with Web based applications, typically using older generation program language languages and developed by professional programmers. On the other hand, mashups are remarkably simple and basic infusion of web services with browser-side java, to connect things together. Mashups simply gather existing data from multiple web resources to either present the data together, assemble and calculate the information to create new data, or create new functionality. Mashups are small pieces of data, loosely joined. There are five types of mashups:
i. Presentation Mashup gathers data from multiple sources and lists the data together.
ii. Client-side Data Mashup gathers data from remote web sites or data feeds and processes the data in a client database or application to analyze it or create a new result.
iii. Client-side Software Mashup uses code in the client side web browser to create distinct new capabilities for gathering and utilizing data captured through the browser.
iv Server-side Software Mashup is already very common as evident by the thousands of open Web APIs currently available. The server collects data from the client.
v. Server-side Data Mashup is the linking and connecting of data between servers. It is already very common to share data between servers and databases, but the fascinating new trend is that this type of data collection and manipulation is happening at a much higher level.
As client-side applications enable users to access data with web browsers and to mashup data without professional programmers, the evolution changes from how to gather diverse data into how to compare, analyze, and use the data. Once immediate access to mashup data from diverse web resources becomes commonplace, metadata management becomes even more crucial to identify trends, recognize commonalities, and develop predictive applications for accurate forecasts and customer-centric customization.
What company is setting the pace with mashup & composite apps? Google
7. Web Platform & WOA
Emerging web applications provide Software as a Service (SaaS) as a viable option to access infrastructure services, information, applications, and business processes though simple and easy to use web browsers. The web based “cloud computing” environments may access a single source for data, applications, or resources for client queries and reporting. However, as metadata management and mashups become more sophisticated and commonplace, web platform Software as a Service will increasingly enable the recombination of data from multiple data sources, applications, and resources. This evolution enables real time data collection, comparison, analysis, application and resource allocation through web portals, reducing direct data or service connectivity, and allowing significantly greater user flexibility.
What company is setting the pace with Web Platform, API, and Software as a Service initiatives? Amazon
8. Computing Fabric
In the evolution of servers as storage devices, we witnessed the progression of big iron from tape drives to hard drives, and the management of all data on one drive to storing data on an array of drives as a means to expand storage and recover from catastrophic failure. In other words, multiple devices shared access and resources to store data. This concept evolved into blade servers, enabling the networking of multiple efficient devices. The next evolution of the computing fabric is the introduction of technology to treat the network of blade servers as the sum of the components from each of the blades. Rather than manage each blade server as a whole device, the new technology will treat memory, processors, I/O cards and components as a pool of resources, combining and recombining these resources as necessary to appear as an operating system on a fixed single server.
Managing the computing fabric will take the smallest measurable pieces of the networked hardware and recombine resources to achieve Green IT low cost power consumption, better use of hardware resources, and treat hardware combinations in much the same way that mashups converge diverse small pieces of data into single serving results on demand.
9. Real World Web
The term real world web refers to enabling information applicable to a particular location, activity, or context relevant to the real world. Unlike virtual worlds that can be created and manipulated for a particular purpose or entertainment, real world web is intended to augment reality with real-time and real world situations. GPS Navigation, for example, can provide real time directions that react to movement and direction. Airline updates, for example, can alert a user to on-time availability or delays associated with flight departures or arrivals.
Now imagine that you have a flight to another city, real time traffic updates and GPS to bypass congestion, and this schedule is mashed up with web based reservations at a preferred restaurant to entertain a valued customer. Your reservation could be automatically adjusted to accommodate flight or traffic delays. The restaurant would be automatically alerted to the change in schedule and may adjust seating accordingly. The GPS may provide alternative routes to avoid heavy congestion or accidents. The value customer would receive a web based calendar alert to unexpected flight delays, enabling your valued customer to occupy time with other important tasks while you are still in flight. The directions, navigation, reservations, and customer clients updates can be managed automatically with real world web.
Another use for real world web integrates posted gasoline prices with GPS navigation devices. This enables the user to identify and select from gas stations with lower posted prices using the real world web.
What company is setting the pace for delivering Real World Web applications? Microsoft
10. Social Software
The term social software is typically associated with a wide range of web applications that enable users to interact and share with other users. YouTube, MySpace, and LinkedIn are some examples of social sites. Social software typically facilitates a more egalitarian community development in which membership is voluntary, reputation is earned by winning the trust of other members, and the mission and governance of the community is defined by the members of the community. Social software reflects the asymmetrical traits of social networks, and a mutual link between users. You can choose to accept or not accept content or connections.
Social software and social networks are evolving at an astounding pace, and are as diverse as human interests. Social networks exist for business, career guidance or changes, on line gaming, common interests, entertainment, hobbies, staying in touch with contacts, and meeting new people.
What companies are setting the pace with Social Software? YouTube, MySpace, and LinkedIn
Summary
So what is happening? There is so much data, information, applications, and individual contact available through web connections that it has become necessary to break things down into the smallest components and categorize these components in such a way as to maximize efficiency, access, collaboration, recombination, and real time application. Green IT seeks to identify the components of hardware and resources to maximize efficiency, reduce e-waste, and reduce power consumption. Unified communications is breaking down data, voice, and video into streams that can be shared by mobile and web based devices. Business Process Models organize the small bits of data, applications, and resources to design future architecture and integrate analytics are users and clients become a part of the development process. Metadata management identifies commonalities and creates smaller models to organize the data. Mashups take these diverse pieces of data and present them or process them in a manner that produces a new understanding or result. Web platforms and Software as a Service empower mashups and data access. Virtualization 2.0 and Computing Fabric apply the same concepts to the hardware that store, access, and serve up this data, voice, and video. Real World Web integrates all of this with our environment and surroundings. Social software makes individuals a part of the process, identifying and connecting smaller pieces of personal interests with individuals that share similar experiences or interests.
The trend for the next three years is to break down data, voice, video, applications, hardware, and individual interests into the smallest denominators and then to identify and recombine based them on user defined requirements and commonalities.
Companies should factor these technologies into their strategic planning process by asking key questions and making deliberate decisions about them during the next two years,†said David Cearley, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner. “Sometimes the decision will be to do nothing with a particular technology. In other cases it will be to continue investing in the technology at the current rate. In still other cases, the decision may be to test/pilot or more aggressively adopt/deploy the technology. The important thing is to ask the question and proactively plan.â€

10 reasons to switch to an IP PBX
The benefits of replacing your old PBX with an IP PBX
What is an IP PBX?
An IP PBX is a complete telephony system that provides telephone calls over IP data networks. All conversations are sent as data packets over the network.
The technology includes advanced communication features but also provides a significant dose of worry-free scalability and robustness that all enterprises seek. The IP PBX is also able to connect to traditional PSTN lines via an optional gateway – so upgrading day-to-day business communication to this most advanced voice and data network is a breeze!
Enterprises don’t need to disrupt their current external communication infrastructure and operations. With IP PBX deployed, an enterprise can even keep its regular telephone numbers. This way, the IP PBX switches local calls over the data network inside the enterprise and allows all users to share the same external phone lines.
How it works
An IP PBX system consists of one or more SIP phones, an IP PBX server and optionally a VOIP Gateway to connect to existing PSTN lines. The IP PBX server functions in a similar manner to a proxy server: SIP clients, being either soft phones or hardware-based phones, register with the IP PBX server, and when they wish to make a call they ask the IP PBX to establish the connection. The IP PBX has a directory of all phones/users and their corresponding SIP address and thus is able to connect an internal call or route an external call via either a VOIP gateway or a VOIP service provider. More information and commonly asked questioned about IP PBXs can be found on IP PBX, SIP & VOIP FAQ – http://www.3cx.com/PBX/IP-PBX-faq.html
The top 10 Benefits
Benefit #1: Much easier to install & configure than a proprietary phone system:
An IP PBX runs as software on a computer and can leverage the advanced processing power of the computer and user interface as well as Windows’ features. Anyone proficient in networking and computers can install and maintain an IP PBX. By contrast a proprietary phone system often requires an installer trained on that particular proprietary system!
Benefit #2: Easier to manage because of web/GUI based configuration interface:
An IP PBX can be managed via a web-based configuration interface or a GUI, allowing you to easily maintain and fine tune your phone system. Proprietary phone systems have difficult-to-use interfaces which are often designed to be used only by the phone technicians.
Benefit #3: Significant cost savings using VOIP providers:
With an IP PBX you can easily use a VOIP service provider for long distance and international calls. The monthly savings are significant. If you have branch offices, you can easily connect phone systems between branches and make free phone calls.
Benefit #4 Eliminate phone wiring!
An IP PBX allows you to connect hardware phones directly to a standard computer network port (which it can share with the adjacent computer). Software phones can be installed directly onto the PC. You can now eliminate the phone wiring and make adding or moving of extensions much easier. In new offices you can completely eliminate the extra ports to be used by the phone!
Benefit #5: Eliminate vendor lock in!
IP PBXs are based on the open SIP standard. You can now mix and match any SIP hardware or software phone with any SIP-based IP PBX, PSTN Gateway or VOIP provider. In contrast, a proprietary phone system often requires proprietary phones to use advanced features, and proprietary extension modules to add features.
Benefit #6: Scalable
Proprietary systems are easy to outgrow: Adding more phone lines or extensions often requires expensive hardware modules. In some cases you need an entirely new phone system. Not so with an IP PBX: a standard computer can easily handle a large number of phone lines and extensions – just add more phones to your network to expand!
Benefit #7: Better customer service & productivity:
With an IP PBX you can deliver better customer service and better productivity: Since the telephone system is now computer-based you can integrate phone functions with business applications. For example: Bring up the customer record of the caller automatically when you receive his/her call, dramatically improving customer service and cutting cost by reducing time spent on each caller. Outbound calls can be placed directly from Outlook, removing the need for the user to type in the phone number.
Benefit #8: Twice the phone system features for half the price!
Since an IP PBX is software-based, itis easier for developers to add and improve feature sets. Most VOIP phone systems come with a rich feature set, including auto attendant, voice mail, ring groups, advanced reporting and more. These options are often very expensive in proprietary systems.
Benefit #9 Allow hot desking & roaming
Hot desking – the process of being able to easily move offices/desks based on the task at hand, has become very popular. Unfortunately traditional PBXs require extensions to be re-patched to the new location. With an IP PBX the user simply takes his phone to his new desk – No patching required!
Users can roam too – if an employee has to work from home, he/she can simply fire up their SIP software phone and are able to answer calls to their extension, just as they would in the office. Calls can be diverted anywhere in the world because of the SIP protocol characteristics!
Benefit #10 Better phone usability: SIP phones are easier to use
Employees often struggle using advanced phone features: Setting up a conference, transferring a call – On an old PBX it all requires instruction.
Not so with an IP PBX – all features are easily performed from a user friendly Windows GUI. In addition, users get a better overview of the status of other extensions and of inbound lines and call queues via the IP PBX Windows client. Proprietary systems often require expensive ‘system’ phones to get an idea what is going on on your phone system. Even then, status information is cryptic at best.
Conclusion
Investing in a software-based IP PBX makes a lot of sense, not only for new companies buying a phone system, but also for companies who already have a PBX. An IP PBX delivers such significant savings in management, maintenance, and ongoing call costs, that upgrading to an IP PBX, should be the obvious choice for any company.

Rolfing Tx-Ten Series-Session Six
In the Rolfing hour 6 the work begins to make another shift in the Rolfing protocol: Palintonicity Adaptability/Support (6-7-8) Core expressing through the lower pole.
This Rolfing session will complete the leg work of 2-4-6 of support, and complete pelvic work of 4-5-6 of transmission. The support was initiated in the second hour and cyclically returns bi-session as a focus and goal. Transmission is viewed as a session-to-session goal and focus when we are finished opening the sleeve.
The potentials initiated in each and every session up to session six have been preparing the body to differentiate making more space and integrate the space in motion. When looking at the back of the body it is important to recognize the posterior reflections of the fifth hour anterior work. The drift’s in the tissue flow in the transverse plane or x-axis and thus are a rotational issue in the asymmetry of the thorax.
“Adaptive capacity at the hips precedes order in the spine. Organization in the core and sleeve precedes order in the spine. Order in Axial complex precedes order in the head.” The main goals are to balance the pelvic girdle by organizing legs and intra pelvic structures, and free the sacrum and the spine from any remaining drift’s and rotations in posterior soft tissue. Establish horizontals in the legs by working the lines of tension to resolve rotations and counter rotations in posterior leg segments.
The primary tilter’s and shifter’s are different from left to right side so special attention should be given to working the asymmetry in a way that is congruent. This session literally travel’s from the plantar fascia all the way up superficial back line over the calcaneous, gastroc, soleus, knee, hamstrings, rotators, sacro-tuberous and sacrospinous ligaments. When observing the posterior axial fascia, side bends with rotations are to be worked in the direction of correction so that the organization in the whole structure from toe to head can emerge. Neck work should be with client supine for mobility and translation in flexion/extension.
Rolfing addresses the osseous components in the neck by affecting the direction of the tissue in translation; Chiropractic deals with translating the bone with high velocity manipulation, leaving the tissue unaddressed. Seated work is assisted movement through all three functional planes depending on the amount of integration that has occurred thus far so G or G’ tendency should be obvious and observed. A deep felt sense of verticality and support are usually experienced when this session is concluded. Pelvic lift or pull will end sixth-hour session.
The Certified Rolfing Ten Series has the ability to reduce pain and release tension in the connective and myofascial tissue of the body associated with TMJ, CTS, RLS, Fibromyalgia, Sciatica, Fascitis, Bunions, Scoliosis, and Cerebral Palsy. Fascial asymmetries can cause foot, leg, knee, hip, back, shoulder, neck, arm, hand, and head pain; integration therapy is necessary.

Driving Factors to Upgrade Your PBX System – Part 1
Your PBX system has served you well in the past and with a bit of upkeep and maintenance will continue to meet your needs in the future. However change is on the horizon.
It’s not so much that the PBX features have changed, it’s the technology delivering those features and your co-workers interaction that is changing.
In the end the choice to upgrade your voice communications system may not even be yours. Many PBX manufactures are embracing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and the newest technology, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) as their new flagship systems while limiting the support of their Legacy TDM (Time Division Multiplex) systems.
Whether you have a small system or a large system, it’s imperative as a Telecommunications manager that you understand the latest technologies and begin to blueprint when a system upgrade would make sense for your company.
Many managers are put off by the fact that they have to upgrade their telecommunication system – after all it’s worked fine for many years. They are even more upset when they are notified or find out that the system they have is reaching or is end-of-life and will no longer be supported by the manufacturer.
What’s the driving factor behind these changes? The short answer – Convergence.
Convergence views voice communications and data communications as a comparable information nucleus – they are doing basically the same function. Passing data from an originating point to an end point. Voice communications uses dedicated paths to connect parties and data communications uses non-dedicated paths and protocols to send and retrieve information.
Is this the first convergent of seemingly different technologies? Not at all, the fax revolution of the 80’s was produced by a convergence of telecommunications technology, optical scanning technology, and printing technology. There are countless other examples of convergent technologies on the market today.
When should you begin planning for your upgrade? The simple answer is of course; there is no time like the present.
As with any project you will need to make a presentation case for the project, outlining the immediate and future benefits to your company’s business culture and the company’s bottom line. I’ll discuss three common driving factors, End-of-life schedules, culture/business shift and company reorganization.
I’ll use Nortel’s SIP Multimedia PC Client as an example.
1. Identify your current systems End-of-life schedule.
A. Pbx systems are comprised of software and hardware. In some system configurations, the hardware will follow a different end-of-life schedule than the software and vice versa.
B. You should review all aspects of your telecommunications system from the software, to the cards, to the telephone sets and catalog all concerns.
C. Upgrading your system outright to the latest and greatest may make more sense to the bottom line than continually upgrading the various parts of the system.
2. Determine if new systems features will improve your company’s telecommunications culture.
A. Nortel’s SIP Multimedia PC Client as an example offers many features beyond traditional telephony. It supports video calling, instant messaging, call screening, real-time call disposition, conferencing, file sharing, and white-boarding.
B. Advanced Web communications include pushing Web pages and co-browsing the Web with customers, co-workers, and associates
C. Virtual Office is always an exciting feature of the newer VoIP and SIP systems.
3. Company growth, downsizing or related projects.
A. Company growth is a good time to analyze your telecommunications systems. It might be cost-effective to embrace the new system features and create Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) that in turn, reduce your requirements on T1’s.
B. If your company is downsizing in property. It might prove fruitful to allow the older systems to convey with the property, while focusing on re-growth and the newer systems.
C. If you company is engaged in related projects (Infrastructure upgrades, IT system upgrades, etc.). It is crucial that you as the Telecommunications Manager are part of the process to ensure that newly installed systems will communicate with your vision of the future for your Pbx department.
Of course there are other driving factors that are unique to each and every business and this article briefly touches on only a few factors. More important are the key factors in planning that can be categorized into anticipation on your part and the effective management of information, quality, and scope.
Anticipating changes in the telecommunications sector and taking advantage of those changes to benefit your company are paramount to a competent, executable plan. In addition, effectively managing the information, ensuring quality research and developing a scope of action will assist in the creation of a sound telecommunications project.
Whether you’re just beginning the research process of upgrading your Pbx system or are well along in the process – PbxInfo.com is a great place to perform research, post questions and get answers about a wide array of systems.
