Podcast
Transforming an Enterprise From Sluggish to Sleek (33:33)
"You end up spending less money, because you're a more efficient
organization, and you end up delivering better value to customers,
because you're a more effective organization," said Huge Evans, CEO of
Enterprise Architects. "This efficiency and effectiveness need within
organizations is worth the price of investment in this area. The actual
tangible benefits that we're seeing across our customers includes
reduced cost of their IT estate. "

Today's Story Highlights

Digging Into Garden Planning Software
When Catherine Kasper Place needed to help refugees plan garden plots
for themselves and for the organization's community supported
agriculture, it turned to GrowVeg.com's Garden Planner and its
affiliated iPad app, Garden Plan Pro. "It's challenging just to manage
one garden," said Holly Chaille, Catherine Kasper Place's director.
"This is 36 different ones, with 36 different designs."

CallNote Dials Up Clean, Easy Skype Recordings
The ability to record phone calls has always been a gray area of the
law. That's because there are both state and federal wiretapping laws
that govern the practice. Federal law allows a conversation to be
recorded if one party consents to it. Some states use that rule, but
others require the consent of everyone on the call. Nevertheless, those
uncertainties haven't deterred people from recording calls.

Microsoft's IllumiRoom Blends Gaming, Real-World Environments
