Who needs that virus software?


Tags :


        A quick poll, who of you loads your anti-virus software AFTER you get the virus in your email infrastructure?  Most people it seems.  It always gets put off, but as soon as a virus hits the network, the executive chain demands some protection.  You kindly mention that it has been proposed to the company numerous times, but due to budget constraints (or someone had indigestion that afternoon from too much fried food at lunch) it was promptly denied.
        Well that hit a managed customer of ours.  We have mentioned the need for a multi-server virus software install, but it never quite made it through a final signed Statement of Work.  Let that be a lesson :-)

        I had an interesting call this morning with Cobra Technologies and Brian Rowe about their bot technology for Sametime.  Something we are looking into for a customer.

        Lotus Workplace Messaging (LWM) is on table this afternoon to be installed.  I am making this my internal test server, so I won't be performing a multi-server install, but instead linking it to an LDAP server from our existing domain so we can play with the directory extension and ability to reach those deskless workers.  We don't have any real deskless workers, but the theory and testing is a nice idea.

more after lunch....
