Message From Our Sponsor
When a high-end apparel manufacturer wanted an e-commerce
presence that was easy for merchandisers to manage,
they turned to ATG. Online sales have grown consistently;
more than tripling in their first year.
Read the ATG Case Study to see how.

Podcast
The Mainframe Bridge to the Cloud (35:00 minutes)
How do developments in mainframe technology and automation relate to
cloud computing? Cloud computing is in a very basic sense virtualizing
resources within the data center. As enterprises seek to gain data
center efficiency, they're looking at bringing in a measure of
virtualization, optimizing operations in ways similar to what mainframes
have done for years.

Today's Story Highlights
The Mainframe Bridge to the Cloud
How can mainframes can help enterprises reach cloud-computing benefits
faster? Let's look at what defines cloud computing, with an emphasis on
private clouds or those computing models that enterprises can control
on-premises, but that also favor and provide cloud-like efficiency with
lower-end costs and a heightened ability to deliver services that
support agile business processes.

Outsource or Keep It Home? Q&A With Alpine Access' Chris Carrington
Not that long ago, the outsourcing of customer service to home-based
agents was a small niche category, viewed as not quite on par with a
bricks-and-mortar call center operation. For a number of reasons, that
perception is changing -- starting with the lower costs involved and
ending with the growing number of quality providers that have highly
qualified staffs on hand.

Qwest Halts Effort to Sell Off Long-Distance Unit
Qwest Communications International on Monday said it was calling off the
auction for its nationwide long-haul data and telephone network. The
Denver-based phone company said the network was more valuable than the
amount it would raise in a sale. Qwest did not say how much the bids it
received were worth.

The Power of the Bargain Blogger
When Melissa Garcia was frustrated by Old Navy's scanty coupon
offerings, she didn't just complain to the store. She vented on a
message board tied to her blog ConsumerQueen.com, which is read by at
least 30,000 people each month and now, increasingly, by corporate
America. Within weeks, chatter in the so-called mommy blogosphere led
Gap's Old Navy to begin issuing coupons several times a week.

The Burden in Pre's Hands
When Palm's and Sprint Nextel's latest bundle of smartphone joy, the
Pre, arrives Saturday, it will be entering an increasingly crowded
market backed by parents that have a lot riding on its success. The Pre
might be most important to Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Palm, the very
company that helped usher in the handheld computing era with the
original Palm Pilot in 1996.

FTC Pulls Plug on Vile ISP
The FTC has shut down an ISP that it painted as the worst of the worst
in cyberspace. Pricewert, which has done business under a variety of
names including "3FN" and "APS Telecom," sought out criminals seeking to
distribute illegal electronic content including child porn, violent porn
and bestiality, the agency alleged.
