It seems very invasive, and reminds me of the new ideas that Google has talked about. One of those ideas is for Google to be able to listen directly into your home and if a dog is heard barking, then a dog food ad would pop up on your screen. This is not right in any way. Regardless of whether they utilize a robotic-natural algorithm, many corporations are labeling these invasive activities as personalization. I see no reason for Google to make specific advertisements for me, when I don't click them anyway. I think this is just one more step closer to the total loss of privacy.Dell 1320c tonerhttp://www.inktechnologies.com/dell-1320c-toner-cartridges.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734830559796197063.post-61153852133504013882009-04-05T07:54:00.000-05:002009-04-05T07:54:00.000-05:00Maybe it's not out vs in sourcing.

Technology will replace us all one day, but for the time being the value proposition of MPS is to outsource the burden of managing the thing an IT guy hates the most: printing devices.<BR/><BR/>BI, for the record is bigger than "knowing before they know about it themselves," although predictive logic is certainly playing into this. However, be careful when treading here because many BI models are based around using past statistics to predict future certainty. BI's real power is in adaptive algorithms to anticipate uncertain futures given multiple facets of data...<BR/><BR/>Let's face it - printing just isn't that important. With the cost of printers cheaper than ever before - I design failover strategies based around best effort redirection during a device outage. This allows me to have a lower cost in my service levels because I have on-site, and instant failover reducing the need for escalated on-site service.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to burst your bubble.Ken Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07253119051236940476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734830559796197063.post-15881273242864462042009-04-02T20:50:00.000-05:002009-04-02T20:50:00.000-05:00ah yes...Business Intelligence.Very good.I underst...ah yes...Business Intelligence.<BR/><BR/>Very good.<BR/><BR/>I understand and concur although, if MPS providers can adopt into Business Intelligence...Greg_Waltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10110815199532873459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734830559796197063.post-60087428118824290962009-04-02T08:53:00.000-05:002009-04-02T08:53:00.000-05:00Konica Minolta has a similar offering.
