The Workspace Wire Question
Vista Upgrade
When do you plan to upgrade to Vista?
Upgrade? We’re already on Vista!
New operating systems rock — we’ll make the move in the next 6 months.
We like to play it cool — we’ll switch in 6 months to a year.
More than a year from now … or whenever I unbury myself from my workload enough to think about it.
Never! We’re on Windows 97 and we like it just fine, thank you.
Vista? What’s Vista?

Funding Strategic Initiatives for 2008
Sunil Misra, Vice President, Consulting and Transformation Services

It’s no secret that funding important business initiatives and innovation is a challenge. What is not widely known is that your existing core infrastructure can be your best latent source of capital — as well as a catalyst for improving worker productivity. Our consultants here at Getronics have identified five prospective gold mines to help you improve your operations in 2008.

Finding the ROI in Office 2007
Nicholas Brigman, Director, Marketing

Trying to determine whether Microsoft Office 2007 is right for you? Perhaps my experience will help you. As Getronics' marketing director for the U.S., I am responsible for producing collateral materials for prospects and clients. While everyone talks about infrastructure optimization and ribbons and clicks, the real ROI for us is in the business process improvements Office 2007 enabled.

Live From Your Desktop … Your Next Meeting!
Christine Carr, Manager, Marketing Communications

Getronics has used Microsoft Live Meeting for several years now, so I was ecstatic to be asked to test the new Live Meeting 2007. I’ve moderated, attended, and presented at more than 200 web conferences and was anxious to see if the integrated video/audio capabilities touted in the new edition lived up to the hype. They did.

The Business of Unified Communications
Tim Welsh, Practice Director, Unified Communications

Jack Welch knows something about globalization. In business, “globalization” refers, in part, to maximizing the free movement of people, capital, and services. During his tenure at General Electric, Welch observed that, “globalization has changed us into a company that searches the world, not just to sell or to source, but to find intellectual capital — the world's best talents and greatest ideas.” [1] Perhaps no challenge facing Chief Information Officers (CIOs) today is more daunting than how to bring the best ideas and talent together.

Welcome

Welcome to your third installment of The Workspace Wire. If your business runs on the calendar year, you've likely been busy with budgets — balancing the things you have to keep doing while looking to prioritize your discretionary spend into new projects and innovations. We devote this issue to creating foundations for innovation.

Experience shows us, and business experts remind us, that innovation comes in all shapes and sizes. It's not only the new business venture or the biggest project. More often, innovation is linked to the very things we do every day. In many cases, the greatest amount of untapped potential resides in the daily activities that roll-up to our ongoing operations — the largest portion of our budgets.

This issue focuses on finding opportunities to innovate and creating a culture for positive change along the themes of identifying opportunities, thinking differently, and communicating better.

Feel free to write me with your comments at WWeditor@getronics.com.
