The next ColARC meeting will be Monday, January 5th at 6:00 at the Quick Solutions office at 440 Polaris Parkway, Suite 500 in Westerville OH
As for a topic...
In a time of economic slowdown companies look for ways to reduce costs. Many companies look to IT as a department that can be trimmed down while other companies look to IT to help them find ways to reduce costs elsewhere. In some cases, as industries consolidate, IT spending is increasing as new integration projects are started. As an architect, what are your concerns about the current economic climate and how are you positioning yourself and your company to be competitive in the future?

New Architecture Portal
nPlus1 launches on Monday, October 27th!
What is nPlus1?
nPlus1 is going to be a great resource for Software Architects or aspiring architects who are looking to take their skills to the next level (hence the plus 1). Our goal is to have original articles that are relevant to software architects regardless of platform, with a few from time to time that are specific to one technology or another. We also plan on posting links to other sites and articles from sources that our staff feel are good resources to our readers.
The site officially launches on Monday, Oct. 27th. That's the first day of the Microsoft Professional Developer's Conference (PDC) and the senior staff will be there. If you're going to be at PDC keep an eye out for us. We'll be wearing white t-shirts with the nPlus1 logo on the back. If you want to learn more about nPlus1 make sure to stop and ask us about it.
Chris, Mike and myself are very excited about this. We hope you all find the site to be a great resource.
