Obsolete Out of the Box

By BJ Moore

View

In today's world, microcircuit technology is advancing at a pace unknown even a few years ago.  Unfortunately, other aspects of system design still move much slower.  The result - designers must use great care (and luck) to ensure their designs are not "obsolete right out of the box".  This is especially true in applications where design to prototype cycles are long.  In many complex systems, such as new aircraft, designs contain components no longer manufactured – before the first system is ever produced!

Information Technologies Strategic Plans

By B.J. Moore, Lida Ray Technologies

View

 Download

Due to the ubiquitous nature of information technologies (IT), our heavy reliance upon them, trust in their output and the sunk cost invested in them, creation and maintenance of solid strategies to safeguard these systems is no longer a luxury. An understanding of the key elements of IT, its data and the potential threats to it are required to develop and manage a solid information technology strategy (ITS).

Although some commonalities exist, each instance of an application varies in its criticality, thrust and potential threats. Cost factors and the ever-evolving nature of technology make it impractical to totally safeguard any system. Thus, a desirable ITS achieves a balance which provides sufficient system safeguarding within cost, labor, and other constraints.

Roadblocks to Wide Acceptance of Wireless Technologies

by Barbara J. Moore

Just like the FAX; Wireless LAN technology has been around much longer than the current surge of interest in it suggests. As usual the economic factors of business and industry can let a technology languish or push it quickly to the forefront. In this era of changing corporate structures, international competition, and tight budgets; companies are forced to configure and reconfigure their information processing infra-structure quickly and at an affordable cost. Wireless LANs are able to meet these challenges as no 'wired' network can.

Convergence of Socio-Economic and Technology Factors in Creating Opportunities for a New Workforce Model

BJ Moore, Lida Ray Technologies

View

Download

The “information age” has finally produced tools capable of supporting a variety of employment and business models that previously were infeasible.The convergence of socio-economic factors, workforce composition, accelerating product obsolescence and technological advances has created an unparalleled need and fertile opportunity to redefine the workforce model.These new technological capabilities alone are insufficient to reinvent the business models.Management must, through vision and solid commitment at all hierarchical levels, migrate its values, reinvent precepts, coalesce processes, and redefine its workforce models to remain financially viable in the emerging compressed timelines.The tools are at hand; economic realities make corporate change a financial requirement; and the changing values, goals and social composition of the workforce apply pressure to create a new, network centric workforce model. These converging pressures make rethinking the corporation viable and necessary. How rapidly these changes occur will be determined now by old-fashioned rates of human / corporate acceptance of change. Compression of the market timeline may force significant, perhaps unrecoverable fallout among those companies that are slow to take up this challenge.
