7/25/05 Outage

Enterprise Information Technology Architecture version 3

I'd like to hear what people honestly think.

EU's GOCC Counterpart

I was browsing around for an Open tool to allow for automated software inventorying yesterday and I came up the EU's equivalent to the GOCC EUROPA - IDABC. I dont know if this has been posted before, but it is definitely of note.

Update: I haven't heard anything back so I plan on writing the application myself if you have questions, requests, or comments please contact me directly.
