This months meeting will be at the Microsoft office at 8800 Lyra Dr. in Columbus (across from the Polaris Mall). It will be a fishbowl discussion.

March ColARC Meeting: Lightening Talks!
The next meeting of ColARC will be on Monday March 2nd at the usual place (Quick Solutions Office, 400 Polaris Pkwy Suite 500, Westerville)
In March we will be doing lightening talks. According to Wikipedia:
A Lightning Talk is a short presentation given at a conference or similar forum. Unlike other presentations, lightning talks last only a few minutes and several will usually be delivered in a single period by different speakers.
We are looking for lightening talks in the 10-20 minutes range. If you would like to deliver a talk at the next ColARC meeting, please send a short abstract and an estimation of how long the talk will be to col.arc@live.com

Next Meeting Monday January 5th
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?
