Personal computer
The internet began as the ARPANET, a government program to connect computers even if some went down. Private companies then contributed innovations to develop the internet further, such as Ethernet connections, internet through phone lines, email, IP addressing, and microprocessors. While the internet was being created, computers were still primitive and mainly accessible at businesses and universities. Software in the 1990s, like Windows 95 and the iMac, helped make computers personal and the internet widely available.
Colonial Houses
The document discusses different styles of colonial houses in various regions of 18th century America. In New England, common styles included saltbox houses and Georgian houses, which were typically made of wood with central chimneys. The Mid-Atlantic states featured stone or brick Dutch colonials and German colonials. Southern plantation houses tended to be large with designs like the Georgian or Palladian styles, while poorer farmers lived in simple one or two room houses. Floor plans and characteristics of different house styles are provided for each region.

Merit Event - Customer Relationship Management - What are the benefits?
Microsoft CRM 1.2 was launched earlier this year and is being targeted at small to medium sized businesses (from 25 to 500 users) who have a need to develop more profitable customer relationships.
Microsoft say the product is innovative, easy to use and integrates well with existing software (Office, Outlook and SQL for example).
However, CRM as a business strategy is not always well understood by SME’s who may feel it is more appropriate for larger organisations.
Our event plans to explains the benefits and potential drawbacks of CRM and the features of Microsoft CRM product.
CRM technology – what is required
Microsoft CRM – they key benefits for SMEs
MS CRM – the key components
MS CRM – automated lead gathering
MS CRM – sales force automation
MS CRM – automating customer service
MS CRM – management reporting
The Rise of Open Source
This lecture looks at Open Source products as the shape of things to come. Open Source is completely changing the software industry and the same models are starting to be applied to hardware and creative works.
An Open Source Case Study
This case study examines the San Francisco Performing Arts Library & Museum's (SFPALM) decision to migrate from Windows to open source software. SFPALM needed to license its unlicensed Windows server, outsource some services, and save money. It decided to use Red Hat Linux for its operating system, Samba for file/print sharing, Astaro Security Linux for firewall/VPN, qMail for email, Apache for web hosting, and maintain its legacy database on a Linux server. This saved $2,800 compared to purchasing Windows licenses and keeping outsourced services. The presentation discusses open source strengths like lower costs, security, and stability, as well as challenges like difficulty of deployment and lack
Opensourceshift
The document discusses several paradigm shifts related to open source software and the internet:
1) The shift from proprietary hardware/software models to open commodity hardware and software decoupled from specific hardware, exemplified by Linux, Apache, and MySQL.
2) A further shift to internet platforms and customization, where value comes from services rather than standalone software/hardware.
3) The rise of collaboration and communities improving software through open participation and sharing of information.

- Linux is an open-source operating system started in the early 1990s by Linus Torvalds that runs on many computer architectures. It allows collaboration on software development worldwide under the GPL license.
- The Linux development model uses a community of contributors who develop, debug, and maintain code through peer review and integration by maintainers. This has led to high quality, secure software.
- The document discusses examples of government agencies and organizations that are using Linux, including the US Department of Energy, NASA, state governments, and the Oregon Department of Transportation. It notes that adoption of Linux in government has been slow.
Opensource
Richard Stallman developed the concept of free and open source software in the 1980s in response to proprietary software that forbade sharing and modification. He founded the Free Software Foundation and developed the GNU General Public License to ensure software remains freely available. Linux was developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991 and combined with software from the GNU project to create a fully functional open source operating system, now known as GNU/Linux. Open source software development involves volunteer contributions from around the world and has produced major programs and platforms like Linux, Apache, Firefox, and LAMP.

ICE2009 - An Architecture for a Extended/Virtual Enterprise
TechIDEAS presents SIRONTA at ICE 2009 Conference, as an extensible application that support the creation of extended/virtual enterprises, based on three simple concepts: rooms, people and documents.
Architecture for a Extended/Virtual Enterprise
The document discusses SIRONTA, a collaboration application that allows users to work together online or offline. It has a distributed network architecture using XMPP for scalability and extensibility. Features include support for large files and networks behind firewalls/NATs through peer-to-peer synchronization and UDP hole punching. Competitors in the collaboration space include Google, Apple, IBM, and Microsoft. The software architecture is based on plug-ins for extensibility.
LTR: Open Source Public Workstations
The document discusses open source software alternatives that libraries can use instead of proprietary software like Windows. It provides examples of open source operating systems like Ubuntu Linux, applications like OpenOffice and Firefox, and case studies of libraries that have successfully implemented open source solutions. The libraries realized benefits such as reducing maintenance costs, increasing reliability and security, and efficiently utilizing funding to add infrastructure instead of leasing software. Some challenges included ensuring compatibility with all websites and applications and providing enough support resources.
LTR: Open Source Public Workstations
The document discusses open source software and its use in libraries. It provides examples of popular open source applications like Ubuntu Linux, OpenOffice, Firefox, and Wine. It also shares case studies of two libraries that implemented open source solutions. Crawford County Library used open source to save $35,000 by not upgrading Windows and had positive user feedback. Howard County Library connected all branches efficiently and avoided leasing costs by using open source. The University of North Carolina also used open source terminals to create low-maintenance kiosks and avoid Windows security issues.
Merit Event - Introducing Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 and Visual Stu...
With the launch of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Microsoft is delivering powerful new tools that will help transform the way developers build applications and IT professionals support IT systems. Together, they will open the door to a new era where companies build systems and applications that help advance business goals by aligning computing resources with strategic objectives.
More than ever Managers need to understand what these new products deliver and what if anything they can do for their organisations. All the pieces are in place to allow organisations to build and deploy solutions that offer more control and functionality than ever before.
At our next FREE event Gary Duffield, Chief Learning Architect for Xpertise will guide you through the 8 versions of Windows Server 2008 helping you to understand what is available and which version is right for your organisation.
One of the challenges facing IT professionals and developers today is the time spent on managing existing systems, which prevents them from investing as much in technologies and innovations that would help their businesses be more competitive.
Although the primary focus of this seminar will be a review of the key capabilities of Server 2008, we will also look at how the line is blurred between Windows Server and Visual Studio 2008, discussing how together they will impact your business from a technology and skills perspective.
Merit Event - E-Mail Marketing - How to do it Right!!!
Email marketing is one of the most misunderstood and misused forms of marketing available to any business. Used right it can be a great benefit, linking you to your consumer in a personal, interesting and involving way. Used wrong it can be a complete pain in the neck, alienating your target audience, and causing annoyance and frustration.
Most emails never arrive in the inbox, look wrong if they do arrive and are deleted quickly by the majority of people. Over 80% of all emails received in your inbox are probably spam, some are irritating, some are offensive, some are dangerous, and some are trying to steal your money.
So how can you avoid, or at least minimise this for your emails? How can you make your work stand out and support your objectives?
This presentation covers how to create emails which will generate results, what pitfalls to avoid and how to make sure you get the most from your efforts. It is not a masterclass in email technology, there will be no email systems presented or suppliers recommended. It is a review of how to ensure that you maximise the opportunity through, getting the right data, designing the right email, to putting in the right copy, directing customers to the right place and what to do with them when they get there.
The intention is to allow you to take a critical look at your email marketing and make changes straight away which will improve your results.
Martin Corlett-Moss is the MD of Mobious, a digital and direct agency based in Cheshire and Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The agency runs email campaigns for businesses varying from Lloyds TSB Autolease, Sage and Carling, to Newcastle Race Course and Cholmondeley Estates. The agency was voted in the Top 100 outside of London this year and as the best agency in the North East for the 2nd year running.

Merit Event - Does "Technology Mean Business" Mean Business
A recent DTI survey confirmed that most managers understand the importance of utilising information and communication technologies (ICT) within their organisation. This same report indicated, however, that many of these businesses were unable to identify advisors who could demonstrate expertise that combined technical knowledge with business understanding.
To overcome this concern the Institute of Management, in association with many of the leading industry providers including Microsoft, Intel, BT, and Compaq have developed their own accreditation standard.
The Technology Means Business standard indicates that the advisor can demonstrate their understanding of both the technical and the business processes required to fully exploit ICT within a business setting. These advisors will also have confirmed their ability to deliver advice in a manner that can be understood by the non-technical business manager.
Technology Means Business has already been adopted by organisations, such as Business Link, as the minimum qualification for their ICT advisors. Similarly, many organisations that provide other ICT products and services to the business community are also adopting this standard.
In an effort to better understand this process MERIT has invited Gary Ridgway - Manager of the Liverpool Technology Means Business Accreditation Centre – to come and discuss this topic in more depth. This informal presentation will include:
•An introduction to Technology Means Business;
•The accreditation process;
•Time and cost implications; and
•The potential benefits
Who should attend:
If you or your business provides business or ICT based advice to the business community and/or you sell ICT products or services then you need to attend this event.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
