Review Government IT Infrastructure Ripe for Improvement and Ready with Cash / Giga Information Group, Inc.:The U. S. Federal Government spends $38 billion on technology annually, a figure rising with demand for on-line functionality. Users want online services for everything from driver licenses to electronic voting. Although there are still widespread (and global) problems with government IT, there is also innovation. Along with increased outsourcing, governments are also moving away from old practices that can limit the benefits of IT in general, such as antiquated hiring and rewards systems and political “group-think” that often snuffed out change, alienated performers and held on to ineffective employees with velvet handcuffs. Government is now allowing vendors to circumvent rigid regulatory hurdles, replacing legacy systems and business processes, automating paper-driven processes and migrating to vendor-supported packages, achieving significant savings in support costs and dramatically improving the flow and quality of information.

Review Moving to Mobile / Giga Information Group, Inc.:The increasing popularity of wireless mobile devices is prompting organizations to examine when and how they’re going to make the transition to a wireless format for their Web applications. This batch of reports from popular Giga analyst Carl Zetie examines this transition from a variety of angles. He sets out to answer several questions, and comes up with some thought-provoking responses. With future developments leading down the WAP path, does this mean that existing applications written with present Web technologies (HTML, Java etc. ) will have to be completely rewritten? Presently (or in the near future), what are the methods for porting existing applications to a WAP platform? What are the dangers to WAP adopters in the Phone. com vs. Geoworks lawsuit? How can WAP adopters protect themselves? What are the possible approaches to integrating mobile clients with enterprise architectures? Is it possible to provide a single Web site for both mobile and desktop browsers? Can they both connect to the same URL? Even if it is possible, is it a reasonable idea to try to use the same content for both, or must the content be custom designed? What is IBM Transcoding Publisher, and how does it differ from other translation products?.

Review Making Intelligent Choices About User Interface / Giga Information Group, Inc.:Despite the recent push to Web-enable applications, end users still need support for legacy applications. Almost too frequently a trade-off is made between enhancing legacy applications and redeveloping them into Web application architecture. Web technologies can and should be used to extend legacy applications. There has been explosive growth in the use of Web and wireless technology, fueling demand for better access. A recent shift to Web-browser user interfaces in the packaged software industry has been led by the large enterprise resource planning (ERP) software vendors. For new application development, as opposed to legacy or packaged applications, the use of HTML and JavaScript and the browser will decline sharply during the next two years. Topics covered in this Giga Collaboration include:Making Intelligent Choices About the User Interface: Coping With Legacy ApplicationsMaking Intelligent Choices About the UI: Browser-Based Applications Will DeclineMaking Intelligent Choices About the UI: The Packaged Applications PerspectiveWhatever the User Interface, Layer Your ApplicationsThe Business Case for Using Web-to-Host Software and Criteria for User Interface Strategy (Wired Applications).

Review Lessons Learned on the Web / Giga Information Group, Inc.:Giga's Web Site ScoreCard teams recently assessed 100 well-known US sites on whether their design made it easy for a visitor to evaluate and use the site - and found that 53 percent of sites earned a failing grade. In Europe, sites belonging to the Financial Times' top 100 European companies had a staggering 87 percent failure rate. One of the key reasons for this sorry state of affairs is many organizations mistake the home page for a technology showcase, either by accident or in a misguided attempt to impart brand value and identity. Not only is the home page the first impression conveyed to visitors, it is also the page visitors will see most often, whether re-orienting themselves during a single visit or returning for repeat visits. Getting the home page right is a critical element in the pursuit of repeat visitors, whether the target is the end consumer or other businesses. Read this IdeaBundle to learn about:The two key factors that should dominate home page design - which users visit the Web site, and what are their goals? The biggest roadblocks to home page design - pointless animated introductions, long download times and required plug-ins that the user may not haveThe surprising fact that good design tools, which help disabled users, may be legally required Is your home page design “purpose-driven?” - People have little patience for Web sites that are poorly designed, hard to figure out and difficult to use Is the home page the online equivalent of the Tower of Babel? Consider whether your multilingual site either mixes languages, or changes languages without warning. Because the home page often draws significant resources and effort out of the enterprise, it makes sense to consider whether it is being used wisely. Read this IdeaBundle to find out where your home page does and does not fit the bill.
