HP can help you transition to ENERGY
STAR 5.0
reprinted
with permission from HP
Nearly
all current HP business desktops are ENERGY STAR® 4.0 qualified, but
those standards will soon change.
The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) will introduce new ENERGY STAR® 5.0 requirements on July 1st,
2009. What’s going to change? What do you have to do to meet the
requirements? Relax, it’s easier than you think – HP can give you a head
start. Even if you’re a small business or not concerned about
compliance, you can still save money on power and cooling by
implementing ENERGY STAR 5.0 qualified desktops from HP.

Applied Tech invites
you to learn about the importance of data storage and help
you understand the technologies available. Enjoy speakers from
Hewlett-Packard, QLogic and Ingram Micro!
Data Storage 411: Introduction to NAS, SAN, and Blades
Date: Thursday,
April 30, 2009
8:00am to 11:30am
Sheraton
Hotel – 706 John Nolen Drive – Madison, WI 53703
Join us for our 1/2 day Spring Event!
 Technology
once only affordable for large enterprises is now scaled and priced
to fit small & midsized companies. Data storage and blade
technologies are decisions that oftentimes are complex.
Calculating the ROI and
determining when these platforms are a fit for your applications and
data requires an understanding of these technologies and insight
into the products that are currently available.
Join Applied Tech,
when we host speakers from Hewlett-Packard, QLogic and
Ingram Micro, to help you understand these different
technologies and gain insight from industry experts that can help
you save money and energy, minimize risk, and thrive, even in
uncertain times.
For a complete agenda and
speaker bios, visit
www.appliedtech.us/news_and_events.
Attendees of this event will be entered into a drawing for one of
these fabulous prizes: Zune MP3 player and gift certificates valid
at any of the Food Fight restaurants!
This event will not be
repeated.

Why outsource, isn't that
un-American?
by Mike Gonsalves, StrategicFusion
 Hardly!
Outsourcing is as American as Mom and Apple Pie! A lot of people believe
that outsourcing is the problem with America's economy today. For the
most part they equate outsourcing with sending jobs overseas
(off-shoring). The fact is that outsourcing started long ago when
production lines where first formed to manufacture everything from nails
for building to autos for driving.
Yes, outsourcing has gotten
very sophisticated over the last decade or so. Yes, we are competing on
a global scale for jobs, especially in certain sectors. But the fact
remains that small businesses can help themselves grow and thrive by
outsourcing tasks that are:
1. Difficult to master
quickly
2. Better done by someone at a lower overall (more efficient) pay scale
