University Improves Instruction With Range of Easy-to-Distribute Software 2006-11-29 01:00:19 Microsoft

Washington State University (WSU) was having difficulty providing its students and faculty with the developer software necessary for a high-quality education.

As a result, WSU could not provide the range and detail of instruction that it wanted. To address these issues, several WSU departments joined the MSDN Academic Alliance. Through this inexpensive program, WSU gained easy access to a variety of Microsoft tools, applications, and documentation. As a result, students and faculty can now download software from the Web and students can use the software on their personal computers.

Lucent provided Tekmark with a package from its Quality Assessment service, including training, knowledge transfer and auditing.

CIOs: Do Your Peers Need An IT University? 2006-12-05 01:00:34 Forrester Research

CIOs often complain privately that their business peers, the heads of functional departments and business units, don't "get" IT. Furthermore, they don't understand the basics of processes, systems, and data and don't grasp the importance of their own roles as sponsors of IT initiatives. Rather than complain, CIOs should sponsor and organize a seminar series for business execs, tackling key knowledge gaps and educating them on the role they and their team must play to ensure that projects sponsored by the business will succeed.
