The Prince of the Sky

Phase 1 of our system upgrade for our business process outsourcing or BPO company means that we are changing our switches with gigabit poe or power over Ethernet which allows gigabytes of internet data and electrical power to flow from switch to Ethernet cable which translates to low down time and high savings and for a business process outsourcing company and after a week of the change, I can already feel the speed and the savings that we are getting for the change. This upgrade is quite exciting for me and the rest of the executive committee so now we are talking about phase 2 of our energy and resource saving strategy which we started when the worldwide crisis hit late of year 2008, and that is, using Ubuntu instead of Windows for our workstations because we are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for technical upgrade and support for our systems and moving from enterprise system to an open source system means a lot of saved money even if we become sponsors of some of these open source community. When we make that switch from enterprise system to an open source system we will be able to operate with a larger savings which translates to hiring more people and getting more clients but one of the mitigation plans that we have is the intensive training that our staff will undergo to switch from enterprise to open source mindset because open source means more work for our system administrators and more internal support for our IT employees. The success of this project depends largely on the readiness of our employees to accept change.
