Massive Florida government HR outsourcing project
“……thousands of Florida employees currently write their timesheets by hand. Being able to transfer these activities to the web will make the process more efficient – and cheaper.”
An absolutely massive HR/e-government project in Florida, written up in Human Resources Magazine. (The site requires registration in order to read the article.)
The project is a good example of how government is realizing the business strategies available when technology can help to effectively re-engineer the civil service. It is also closely related to the trend in which business and government organizations are outsourcing much more than IT departments — we are now seeing entire departments such as HR, accounts payable, inventory management or other departments being outsourced.
A good read for anyone interested in e-government; the integration of human resources to the Web, and outsourcing.

Why is this man smiling?
Not a word of a lie — this picture appeared in an AP news article about SPAM — the Governor is smiling while he browses the spam is his mailbox…..is he looking at the porn spam or what?
The picture went out on the AP Newswire, and in the San Diego Tribune, the caption read: “Oregon Attorney General, Hardy Myers, looks through his e-mail for unsolicited commercial e-mail, known as “spam.” Internet users annoyed by having their inboxes clogged with unwanted e-mail would have the option of permanently putting their e-mail addresses off-limits to bulk mailers, under new laws proposed by attorneys general in Oregon and Missouri.”
“There’s nothing like a business scandal to show Americans the error of their ways.”
“For the last several years, we’ve obsessed about the rich, worshiped the corporate wheeler-dealers and worked overtime to accumulate the latest toys. Yes, we’ve been indulgent and self-involved. But we’ve learned our lesson. ”

Online advertising bozo strategy award of the week!
How can you market an Internet service that includes “anti-spam features to keep unwanted e-mail out,” and then have that very ad generate an annoying pop-up?
That’s what you’ll get when you link to my Profit article just posted here.
Just wondering.
Your weblog is a synaptic symphony!”
