The site has looked pretty much the same (with some minor changes) for about the last decade. Microsoft has revamped the site and wow--what a difference. What was so drab has turned into fab, take a look at the new TechNet.

More importantly, if you have a TechNet subscription your login should work fine with the new interface. The Download software area has been reorganized (no more scrolling though lists of download links). It's an excellent improvement.

The Harmony sidebar enables people to share a single, centralized copy of the document, instead of swapping e-mail attachments.

To put the power of this router (which will be used by service providers as part of the internet backbone) in perspective, it delivers 333 Tbps. This speed translates into the entire printed collection of the Library of Congress being downloaded in a second. It enables every single person in China to make a simultaneous video call and can deliver every movie ever made in 4 minutes (storage is another matter).

The CRS-3 is at the heart of this technology. This is the newest version of what is known as Carrier Routing System 1- which is one of the largest production routers.

Although you can't buy one for your home; this router will be used by service providers to bring you faster and hopefully, more fault-tolerant mobile broadband, video and cloud-based services. Cisco expects this to be available in final release in Q3 of this year.

There's an interesting piece in CNNMoney about smaller healthcare providers and their quest in converting to Electronic Medical Records systems (EMR).

Profiled is Doctor Bradley Block, a family physician with a private practice. When Dr. Block began shopping around for an EMR solution, many of the largest vendors in this space were not interested in servicing smaller healthcare providers. One even refused to adjust a six-figure startup fee---the same fee that's charged to large hospitals and facilities.

The EMR field is hot due to incentives from the federal government and the overall trend in making patient health information more accessible in real-time.

Although EMR technology is dominated by large vendors, smaller companies are out there offering more affordable EMR solutions for smaller providers. Some mentioned in the article include eClinicalWorks and Practice Fusion.

Avaya introduced the latest release of Avaya IP Office--- a unified communications solution targeted to small-and-mid-size businesses.

IP Office 6.0 has been developed for easier deployment and management for SMBs; particularly for those with less than 20 employees. Avaya has reduced price points on packages; the Essential Edition was reduced from $795 down to $50 (list price).  

Features include the enhanced one-X portal for IP office; a browser-based phone management system that allows users to manage their Avaya IP desktop phones. With the portal, users get IM, audio conferencing and videophone capabilities.

IP Office 6.0 allows scalability for up to 1000 users; voice messaging and auto attendant back-up.

Avaya provided us with a web demo of this product. It's a centralized way to graphically manage your office phone. Although the product looked polished and worked well during the demo, I was dubious about the value for SMBs in this day and age of Skype and social networking but Avaya has a litany of SMB clients, proving that many SMBs still want a traditional in-house phone system. Some of the Avaya SMB customers using IP Office are those who may not be in front of a PC all day; including a busy hair salon and a poultry producer.
