-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Information_technology] Daily News 12/10/02 Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2002 08:44:22 -0600 From: "NIPC Watch" <nipcwatch@private> To: "Information Technology" <information_technology@private> December 5, Government Executive Integrated IT network in new agency worth expense. Technology industry representatives who met Thursday at a forum on technology's role in homeland security said the benefits of creating an integrated homeland security network will far outweigh the costs. Getting an integrated IT network up and running will be expensive, according to participant Christopher Baum, vice president and research area director for Gartner Research, an information technology consulting company. But once an integrated system is developed and implemented, it will actually help reduce IT costs. For instance, an integrated network would allow the department's 120,000 employees to communicate over long distances without having to set up face-to-face meetings. This would reduce travel expenses, save employees time and allow workers to escape the risks inherent in travel.
