Bill Gates Pledges IT Resources to Arab World |
|
|
During his keynote address at a January government leaders forum in Abu Dhabi, Bill Gates revealed the results of a new study by IDC underscoring the impact of information and communication technology on the Arab world’s economy. “Technology has touched millions of lives and played a significant role in fostering economic development across the region,” Gates said. “Microsoft’s goal is to [help] governments and partner organizations … use technology to accelerate social and economic development.” The Microsoft-sponsored IDC research project found that the Microsoft “ecosystem” plays a key role in driving the IT industry’s overall contribution to job growth and economic development in the region, which is composed of Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and United Arab Emirates. The study also found that for every $1 that Microsoft earns in 2007, companies working with Microsoft in that region will earn $15.56.

Cisco + Collaboration = Success |
|
|
With its purchase of WebEx, Cisco is making itself the test bed for the next generation of collaboration tools. Since it began rolling out immersive conferencing technology about a year ago, the company has established “telepresence” rooms in 160 of its offices worldwide. Cisco CIO Rebecca Jacoby and her team also have created an online "communications center of excellence," for new collaboration tools from wikis to v-logs to telepresence. Video, she noted is “phenomenally effective,” particularly in communicating with employees outside the U.S. Cisco is open to new ideas. Through its I-Zone wiki, the company has garnered 600 ideas that have the potential to become $1 billion-per-year ventures. “They’re not all good, but even the bad ones may spur a good idea,” said Marthin DeBeer of the company’s Emerging Technologies Group.
