Web Services Moving Toward Federated Authentication (May 2002)
The major concern of online shoppers remains the security of e-commerce sites. While the number of consumers willing to provide credit card numbers or personal information online continues to rise, the lack of easily used security measures remains an impediment to more rapid growth in those numbers. Security requirements also extend to the necessity for nonrepudiation of transactions, so merchants can be assured that the online orders are valid and were made by the credit card owners.

Management Tools and IP Move Into Enterprise Storage (May 2002)
Enterprise storage remains a hot area for development and controversy.

Cash In Through B2B Exchanges (Jun 2001)
Many manufacturing companies are finding that because of business climate shifts their products are becoming a decreasing source of profits. Instead "soft" assets are becoming more important as companies evolve into content providers as well as being manufacturers. Content can be a major differentiator among competitors as customers come to value information and services that simplify their purchasing processes. Consequently, IT managers must recognize and buy into this trend. Fees for access to content can grow into a new channel for revenues. Computer Economics projects a rising trend in B2B revenues.
