We all know the United States economy has been struggling and something must get done to boost it. In February 2009, President Barack Obama created a stimulus package to help combat it. A whopping $787 billion has been approved to give the economy a shot in the arm. Some of the biggest winners to gain from this historic stimulus are technology companies. Several billions of dollars are set aside for the tech industry to create more jobs and make technology upgrades to important industries. Todayâ??s students may want to think about getting an IT education. It looks like there are plenty of opportunities for tech needs in the years to come.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was drafted to save and create jobs immediately. It sounds like a quick fix but it is also supposed to lay the groundwork for long-term economic growth. Where is the money going? $288 billion is allocated to Tax Relief. Another $144B goes to State and Local Fiscal Relief. $111B is for Infrastructure and Science, and $81B to go to Protecting the Vulnerable. The last $59B, $53B, $43B, and $8B are allocated to Health Care, Education and Training, Energy, and Other, respectively. With this kind of money there should be enough funding to get us out of this crisis and back to the powerful country we used to be. This is the hope, and with a fair chunk of the package dedicated to technology we certainly are paving the way for the long-term.

If you have ever thought about getting IT training now is the time. $30 billion is currently invested in technology upgrades, with more than $100B in tech projects spending estimated in the next five years. The big dogs expected to gain the most from the stimulus are IBM, GE, and Cisco. IBM has already developed a smart grid in Washington State to manage energy consumption that could apply on a larger scale to the entire country. GE is working on an energy-management system that uses wind power. Look into the School of Technology at Westwood College for the chance to help Cisco push for the contract to spend the $7.2B allotted for broadband deployment. Get educated and Cisco certified, and you will be in a good position to take advantage of the IT revolution. Another big industry looking to upgrade their technology is health care.

With 7.5% of the stimulus package dedicated to health care you might think it is not getting its fair share. That percentage equates to $59 billion, though. The headline-maker has been the $19.5B devoted to digitizing medical records and who has been appointed to oversee the project. Harvard Medical School Professor Dr. David Blumenthal was named the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. As Director of the Institute for Health Policy at Massachusetts General Hospital/Partners HealthCare System in Boston, he is a longtime advocate for making medical records electronic. Several professionals in the industry applaud the appointment with praise of his qualifications. With a good team around him we should feel confident he has the answers to make a strong impact on our countryâ??s medical technology in the future.

There is much to look forward to in the coming years. The Obama Administration is investing heavily into rebuilding the weak and upgrading the old. Millions of jobs hope to be available in IT, Construction Management, Education, Health Care, and anything else â??The American Dreamâ? offers itself to. While this stimulus sounds like a cure-all fix, Americans must know it will still take time and a lot of hard work to get back to the level we desire. Technology will play a vital role in our advancement as a nation, hopefully setting an example for other countries as well. For those that are IT experts, this is your chance to change the world.

~~~Chris Simon helped~~~ Ya… i had 2 make this movie about the pros, cons and ethical issues about informaton technology… and i chose provacy… this WAS a group project but my partner didnt do crap so i did everything (It has no sound because i havnt gotten around 2 adding sound yet) (a total of 20 hours were spent making this movie)

Informatics is an emerging field of study covering the science of information. Informatics merges information technology with the humanities, arts and sciences to transform information into practical, innovative knowledge. The University of Iowa Graduate Colleges Interdisciplinary Program in Informatics prepares students for careers applying information technology to solve a myriad of real-world issues and problems. A growing number of industries are turning to informatics to shape their real-world knowledge management, including healthcare, biosciences, business administration, communications, and chemistry. The Interdisciplinary Program in Informatics exemplifies UIs commitment to encouraging collaboration and new ways of thinking while preparing students for a dynamic career in this exciting and rapidly growing field. informatics.grad.uiowa.edu

Current students and instructors in the Information Technology and Informatics program at Rutgers University discuss what informatics is, what the major offers, and why you should consider the program.

As our country begins what I can only hope is a new era, I find myself wondering about the future of our industry. Information Technology took a very hard hit in the Dot Bomb Crash of 2000. I was under contract to Lucent Technologies at the time and the impact there was enormous. Jobs were lost by the thousands, and so were retirements. Now, in 2008 and 2009, we see another financial bomb–but we also see a new vision.

In 2000, the world discovered that just being on the Internet did not guarantee success. Prior to that, business was doing well at moving money around, if not actually producing much. The cash had to keep moving or it would settle to the ground and people would notice that there wasn’t that much new money–just the same funds moving in circles–redistributing. Maybe that is what finally happened. Maybe the music stopped and everyone realized that there weren’t enough chairs for everyone–and panicked.

The financial bomb this time is a bit different and as I am not a financial consultant, I will not try to explain it–even if I fully understood it-which I do not. My concern here is the impact of this market on my industry, the Information Technology Industry. This time it seems, we are not dead center on the bull’s eye–instead we are the arrow point. We went through our decimation and many of us retired, retrained in other fields or just gave up. Others stayed on and have continued to grow with the technology. It’s leaner and meaner and there are far fewer of us to do what needs doing. But, it is also the foundation of the new economy to come.

New energy systems and a rewrite of the way that the Health Care Industry does business will be heavily steeped in Information Technology. Our skills are going to be in more and more in demand as companies around the world, and here in the United States, scramble for ways to create a sustainable future for our planet and our respective countries. We will be right in the middle of it. Are you ready for that? Are you really?

One side effect of the trimming down of our industry has been reluctance to invest in upgrades, to improve efficiency of systems and, most importantly, to create. Older equipment and technology are often still in place–in mission critical positions. Products at the end of their support cycles, that are still working, are still in place. After all, why fix what isn’t broken? Money is tight.

Here is why you should fix it while it is still working.

(1) Because it IS still working. Once a component fails, you will end up scrambling to replace it–making bad decisions and building sloppy installations.

(2) Because new software tools, operating system manufacturers, (think patches), and other manufacturers of equipment, do not perform regression testing back to the beginning of time. If your operation system or other software tools are past that magical line in the sand, new-supposedly helpful-patches and upgrades could break your systems in unforeseeable and unsupportable ways.

(3) Because it is not about keeping your position in a company or in a market. It is about creating new technologies, processes and markets. The old ways don’t cut it anymore and whoever creates a solution to a problem, regardless of country or marketplace, will drive the economies of the world–and of their niche in the global marketplace. If your company creates products or provides services, you need to be on the crest of the wave.

President Obama has asked us to be willing to make hard decisions and to work to create the new technologies that will drive the world’s economy. I for one, embrace the call. Let’s stop trying to make our money by moving money from one pocket to another and begin once again to create. You, the people of the Information Technology Industry, are going to be right at the heart of it. Technologists, look for companies that want to be there too. Information Technology Managers, look for people with passion. Let the wonder that first led you to master an aspect of the magic of technology once again inspire you. This is our moment. This is our challenge. It’s time once again to have some fun with this stuff!

Are you trying to build your Information Technology service company?  Sometimes in order to provide complete, fully-integrated, end-to-end solutions to your valued clients, you have to rely on subcontracting and partnering.

Subcontracting and partnering can be an excellent way to grow business and improve your relationships with clients.  But many professionals in the technology business do not quite understand the difference between the two concepts or how to work them into their plans for working with small businesses.

The truth is, subcontracting and partnering can improve your ability to work with clients and help you efficiently run your business .  It also frees you up for your most important business-growth activities so you have enough time to focus on important administrative, sales and marketing activities that will keep your sales funnel full of viable prospects, customers and clients.

The following 3 tips can help you better understand how to use subcontracting and partnering as you build your Information Technology service business.

Understand the Difference between Subcontracting and Partnering. There are several key ways that subcontracting differs from partnering.  With subcontracting, your client has a single point of contact with your firm.  The subcontractor primarily communicates with your firm, with only minimal direct communication with your client.  Basically, the subcontractor functions as an extension of your firm, and the client does not necessarily even have to know that some of the larger project is being farmed out.  With a subcontractor, the client gets one proposal, one contract and one invoice from your firm.  Subcontractors also get paid by your firm, not the client.  If your Information Technology service company is talking about partnering, you are working with another non-competing technology provider that is retaining its own corporate identity and presenting its own credentials to a mutual client.  The client is aware there are two or more distinct technology providers involved in the project, and your partners communicate directly with the mutual client.  The client communicates with the main contact person at all partnering computer consulting firms and gets proposals, contracts and invoices from all of them. Clarify which Party Handles which Details. With partnering and subcontracting, you need to clarify which party is handling which details of each project.  In a master contractor/subcontractor relationship, the master contractor (your Information Technology service firm) will handle most, if not all administrative and management tasks.  Unlike a partnering arrangement, you won’t need to spend a lot of time with your subcontractors reaching a common ground on whose billing and administrative procedures you will adopt.  When you are a master contractor, you call the shots.  However, whether you are working with subcontractors or partners on a project, you will still want to create a planning document that helps you define the rules of engagement and spells out individual responsibilities so everyone is always on the same page. Take Stock of the Skills You Are Retaining. Most of the time when you seek out a potential partner or subcontractor, you’re looking specifically for a certain skill set.  After all, you’re trying to enhance your own offering so you can best serve your clients’ needs.  For example, if client of yours needs a relational database designed to track wedding bookings for their catering business and this is not a skill you have in house, you will probably be looking for a subcontractor with expertise in the appropriate database platform and front-end design.  Make sure as you engage with a new subcontractor or partner that you get an idea of his/her baseline level of knowledge on a variety of products and platforms beyond his/her specialty.  You can create a skills inventory worksheet that you use with all your subcontractors and partners to collect information efficiently and consistently.

In this article, we talked about some of the most important differences between subcontracting and partnering, and how you can use subcontracting and partnering to grow your Information Technology service business.  Learn more about how you can attract great, steady, high-paying clients to your Information Technology service firm now at http://www.InformationTechnologyServiceHQ.com
