If higher costs, rigid configurations and decreased technical advantage are
part of your IT roadmap, please DO NOT proceed any further.  This webinar is
not for you.

The information technology landscape is ever changing and cloud computing is
leading the charge.  Cloud computing is no longer approaching on the
horizon, it is here.  Its a technology that has evolved to address the
explosive growth of on-demand infrastructure needs, and now provides
companies and organizations massive scalability at a fraction of traditional
costs.

Cloud computing asks that we shift our paradigm away from server rooms and
hardware licenses to a more dynamic, on-demand approach.  Amazon's EC2 Cloud
Computing Environment is at the forefront of cloud computing and this shift
in the way we see and exploit technology.

and Best Practices.

moin moin,

ABLEconf officially announced its next event: Saturday, 2009Okt24 at UAT.

Once again it will be an all day event with a party in the evening. We are
working on adding some other events as well.

###
Arizona's Premiere Conference on Open Source Software Offers Insight on
Leveraging Open Source Tools to Reduce IT Costs and Increase Flexibility
in the Midst of Economic Uncertainty.

Tempe, AZ - July 29, 2009 - Building on the success of its first run last
September, the Arizona Business & Liberty Experience Conference (ABLEconf)
is set to return to the University of Advancing Technology (UAT) on the
24th of October, 2009.

With businesses, schools, governments, non-profits and individuals all
looking to cut costs wherever they can, open-source software can help
leverage the advantage of using software in their infrastructure that
delivers enterprise-ready results without the entanglements of costly
licensing.

Open source office application suites like OpenOffice.org can be leveraged
to cut the repeating costs of paying for new office software and training,
while implementing open standards that make it easy to do business with
users of all variety of office software.

Firewall systems such as OpenBSD's pf can be used to implement
industry-proven network security at the fraction of the cost of firewall
systems with high licensing and support costs.

Operating systems such as GNU/Linux and its Ubuntu distribution can be
used to create reliable, secure desktop systems impervious to viruses and
malware. Those desktops are highly customizable to an individual company
or school's needs, entail no licensing costs, and require less frequent
hardware upgrades than proprietary systems such as Windows and Mac OS X.

These, and many more topics will be presented and discussed. Thanks to
sponsors like RD Harris, CPA, P.C. and our host, UAT, admission is free.
No registration is required to attend.

ABLEconf was founded in 2008 by a coalition of Free / Open-Source software
groups and associations in Arizona. The free-admission one-day conference
hosts a wide variety of speaking tracks and sessions on how to take
advantage of open source software in small business, government, medical,
enterprise, and individual use.

ATIC Strategy Committee Update:



ATIC Strategy Committee has been busy meeting virtually and also held an
extended strategic planning session on April 22, 2009 for regional broadband
stakeholders. The issues and actions at hand are:

Inquiry in the matter of a National Broadband Plan for Our Future, in a
series of ATIC public responses to federal stimulus matters.

The Alliance of Technology & Women (ATW)  is pleased to present “What
is Cloud Computing and Why is it Important?” featuring Jaime Casap, a
Business Development Manager for Google Inc. who’s responsible for
evangelizing Google Apps to universities and colleges in North,
Central, and South America. Since Cloud Computing enables access to
common business applications and software via web browser, it's
attractive to individuals, companies and developers because they can
access applications as they need them and pay only for what they use.
This helps them saves thousands of dollars on software, implementation
and configuration and upgrades. Since companies are always looking for
ways to decrease capital outlay and overhead expenses, it's very
likely that your company have implemented, or will consider
implementing, a Cloud Computing solution. So, if you’d like to learn
more about Cloud Computing and how it could affect you, please plan to
join us on the 18th.

Buying & Selling eContent Conference 4/5-7/09 in Scottsdale Discounted from
$1595 to $695

By special arrangements with ATIC for the Arizona tech community, you can
receive an extraordinary discount to the 10th annual Buying & Selling
eContent Conference right here in Scottsdale on April 5-7. While the economy
may cause many organizations to slam the brakes on spending, content
companies not keeping up with the pace of change will quickly fall behind.
The Buying & Selling eContent conference is where you will learn the most
effective media models and strategies that make the most of your
investments.

The Buying & Selling eContent Conference (BSeC) is an executive-level event
where the key players in the content industry gather to exchange ideas-from
tried and tested techniques to the most promising emerging models. If you
buy, sell, distribute, or provide electronic content technology solutions,
then invest in the future of your enterprise with a dynamic conference
agenda that not only gives you food for thought, but plenty of opportunities
to explore any topic you want with other event participants, network, and do
business on the side.

Hear from those that have mastered the digital domain:
* Rafat Ali, Founder, ContentNext Media: What I Saw in the New Media, and
Where I See It Headed Now
* Jim Gerber, Content Partnership Director, Google: Content Monetization -
The New Models

Hear from those who have developed new ways of building a content business:
* Anthea Stratigos, Co-Founder and CEO, Outsell: Trends, Strategies, and
Tactics for Coming Out Ahead
* Larry Schwartz, President, Newstex, LLC: The Virtual Content Company: How
to Operate in the Clouds

Hear from content industry stalwarts, who have weathered many economic
storms, by continuing to innovate for success:
* Marty Kahn, CEO, ProQuest: Three Legacy Products and a Next Generation of
Users: What's a Classic Player to Do?
* Tom Aley, Sr. VP and Managing Director, Dow Jones Business & Relationship
Intelligence Group: B2B Social Networking for Competitive Advantage

Gain insights from prominent econtent buyers, such as Monica Ertel, Bain &
Company, and Nickolai Kopelev, GlaxoSmithKline.

Plan to attend BSeC for fresh insights, valuable contacts, strategic
relationships, and all the right people to make things happen on the spot.
For more information, call 800-300-9868 or visit the website at
http://www.buy-sell-econtent.com/. However, you must register online at
https://secure.infotoday.com/forms/default.aspx?form=bsec2009&priority=ADD56
to secure the extraordinary $695 discounted rate.

Buying & Selling eContent is about learning the most effective strategies
for creating, managing, and delivering content digitally from databases to
digital magazines. It is an executive-level event, and Information Today,
Inc. works very hard to provide high-level thinking about what does, and
does not work. Don't miss the opportunity to be part of the Buying & Selling
eContent value chain. Join the leaders in the content industry and help
contribute to your organization's and the industry's success.
