cost of ownership of the product. Then this can be compared to the cost savings of implementing the applications, this will then validate that the application will be cost effective to IAL. Another drawback of groupware is any proprietary design or application specific items. “Groupware creates documents and other files in proprietary formats and then the export of the data to an alternative platform might be virtually impossible”. (Stoy, 2010) This can force the organization into maintaining the

system for the mainframe where I work, and the mainframe I worked on at the IRS, was text based as many of them are, and they can be connected to personal computers with a special interface program called groupware that allows the LAN/WAN, Mainframe, and Internet to be accessed via the groupware on workstation PC’s. Conclusion A mainframe is a very large machine that has several processors, large amounts of memory and hundreds of gigabytes of RAM. It has masses of disk space and other storage facilities
communicate and interact with each other by computer system, hardware, software and other communication links, in other words electronically. By using new technology they can research and achieve their goals. Each team member will have to have a groupware program to manage information. These systems will benefit the company and their employees like being able to work from anywhere at anytime and reduce expenses associated with traveling, parking, lodging, and the probability to reduce the lease of

Strategic Importance of Knowledge Management Today the world has more and more of free flow of information leading to transfer of knowledge from a person or an organization to others. Whereas this invariably leads to faster development, it also impacts the competitive advantage held by the innovators of processes or technology. It has therefore become strategically important for one and all in business to understand the knowledge, processes and controls to effectively manage the system of sharing
Capstone Experiences in Career and Technical Education Capstones are culminating experiences in which students synthesize subject-matter knowledge they have acquired, integrate cross-disciplinary knowledge, and connect theory and application in preparation for entry into a career (Fairchild and Taylor 2000).

Seven Sins of Deadly Meetings by Eric Matson Sin #1: People don't take meetings seriously. They arrive late, leave early, and spend most of their time doodling. Salvation: Adopt the mind-set that meetings are real work. There are as many techniques to improve the "crispness" of meetings as there are items on the typical meeting agenda.

Many of the research presented in the field of mobile phone-based interaction techniques that have been developed so far fall into three main classes according to Sas & Dix [21]. In some research, the personal device effectively acts as an extended input device for text editing or pointing task. In others, the phone is used to upload and download media using standard content and protocols. The third class is where the mobile phone is a more integral part of the interaction, typically using the display
The Internet is by far the most fascinating invention ever to me. Its ability to contain access to the infinite knowledge of nearly everything in digital format is beyond my comprehension. Seeing technology grow through my years has kept me heavily involved with my inner geek. I stay on top of the news, especially technology news, and over the past few years a topic that has repeatedly caught my eye is the complicated topic of Net Neutrality. I began my research on Net Neutrality by first figuring
