re.Source Partners was shocked and saddened deeply this week to learn of the sudden passing of our great friend and outstanding employee Laura Lowery. Laura joined us just less than a year ago, however, her excited approach to her work and her commitment to our company made her part of our "family" from day one.

Laura LoweryLaura was inspiring in so many ways. She joined our Company with Executive experience in Human Resources at QEK Global Solutions. Laura applied for an entry level position here for which her credentials and resume greatly exceeded the skills and experience needed for the job. When we met Laura, she explained to us that her focus in life had changed from being a successful Executive to having more time to spend with her family, especially her Daughter Hailey. We greatly respected this and commend her willingness to sacrifice certain "success" for family.

Corporations Must Protect Data, Says CMY Cylab Report

dataprotection Corporate boards of directors and senior management aren't adequately involved in the privacy and security of their computer systems and data, according to a report issued Tuesday by Carnegie Mellon University's CyLab.

The report found that while company boards are taking risk management seriously, there remains a gap in understanding the relationship between information technology, or IT, and risk management. The report is based on the results from 66 respondents to its survey at the board or senior executive level from Fortune 1000 companies. It builds on CyLab's first survey, conducted in 2008.

Gartner Says Organizations Need to Re-evaluate the Rationale for SaaS

SaaS Gartner Analysts Examine Best Practices for SaaS at the Gartner SOA & Application Development and Integration Summit 2010, June 14-15, in London
Software as a service (SaaS) will have a role in the future of IT, but not the dominant future that was first thought, according to Gartner, Inc. Organizations should carefully assess their software needs in light of the current promises delivered on by SaaS.

"In 2009, within enterprise applications, SaaS represented 3.4 percent of total enterprise spending, slightly up from 2008 at 2.8 percent," said David Cearley, vice president and fellow at Gartner. Gartner predicts that this market will reach $8.8 billion in 2010.

Cisco Launches A Business Focused Ipad: The Cius

Cius Networking giant Cisco just announced the Cius, an iPad-like device for business users that will run Android and allow HD videoconferencing.

The Cius will be available in the first quarter of 2011, and is designed to let users access business apps like Cisco's Webex and Telepresence videoconferencing. The 1.15 lb device will have Wifi, 3G, and both a front- and rear-facing camera. The one that faces forward will allow 30 frames a second of 720p HD video for face to face calls. The tablet will also have an optional dock that includes a traditional phone and USB ports.

Cisco hasn't announced pricing yet, though chief technology officer Padmasree Warrior just tweeted that it will cost less than $1,000.

E-mail That Self Destructs

Sending Internet messages that leave no trail.
David F. Carr

Many a lawsuit these days turns on the discovery of embarrassing e-mails and instant messaging records sent by executives or politicians. A conversation two people might once have had in the hallway, done and gone as soon as the words left their lips, these days become subject to legal discovery.

In some regulated industries, such as stock trading, there are requirements for e-mail and IM logs to be archived. But in the absence of such a requirement, it makes sense to think twice about what you keep and what you dispose of--or never store in the first place. Technology is available to make electronic communications more ephemeral.

VaporStream, a product for confidential electronic communications, caused a bit of a stir when it was unveiled. When the VaporStream software is installed on a computer or a smartphone, messages disappear from the sender's computing device the minute they are sent and disappear from the recipient's device the moment they are read or replied to. It's not really e-mail, or at least not standard e-mail, although the software is available as a plug-in to Outlook and other e-mail clients. The communication is peer-to-peer, so messages are never stored on any intermediary server the way they are with standard e-mail. The software also prevents messages from being printed or forwarded, and file attachments can be viewed but not saved. Or at least those are the company's claims.
