Special Request - Need support letters from LTC to Congress by March 15th

Mark Lewis — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 19:48:04 GMT

Last year, the LTC submitted a 2010 Federal appropriations request for $250,000 to help us with our statewide technology initiatives. Several of our member companies provided letters for us and our request was at first approved. We were initially in Senator Landrieu's appropriations bill for 2010 but due to budget cuts, we were removed from the bill. We are initiating an even greater push for 2011. We have submitted our 2011 request once again to Senators Vitter and Landrieu and Congressmen Scalise and Cao. In order to improve our chances over and above last year, we need a heavy dose of support letters to each one of them and would ask for your help in making this happen. To make it very easy for you, I have put together letters for each Congressional rep so you can simply cut and paste onto your letterhead; and then you can either mail them to their office or email me each letter and I will make sure they are received. If you wish to help us, just send me an email and I will send you each of the (4) support letters. Our goal is to get 50 - 75 letters of support to each Senator and Congressman from LTC supporters across the State, which we are told will go a long way in helping to approve our request. We could really use your support. Again, please let me know and I will email each letter to you. It should not take very long to do and our deadline is March 15th. Thank you for your consideraiton in this matter.

Also, if you think someone else can support us, please forward this email to them. Thanks.

Baton Rouge Special Event Luncheon: IBM to show how your organization can break away from the competition!

Michelle Hansen — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 20:33:03 GMT

Baton Rouge Special Event Luncheon:
IBM to show how your organization can break away from competition!

Is your company primed to break away from the competition?

Please join the Louisiana Technology Council, IBM Corporation, and your peers at an Executive Luncheon on March 25, 2010 to learn how successful companies are:

Aligning their organization around an agreed upon set of performance measures
Integrating departments and trading partners in achievement of those measures
Applying business analytics to optimize business decisions
Using Tools and measures to optimize business performance

A recent study of nearly 400 business leaders by the IBM Institute for Business Value has found that top performing organizations rely on optimizing their use of business analytics, rather than relying on intuition, to win in the marketplace.

The huge explosion of data overwhelming companies today provides a tremendous opportunity for optimizing business performance. The challenges, although not only technical, can be addressed through wise deployment of technology. "Visibility" takes on a new definition in the minds of decision makers. It is no longer good enough to be able to have access to information. Actionable information needs to be provided, in context, to the decision maker in a manner that is understandable and can be shared with partners up and down the value chain. Collaboration around relevant facts strengthens relationships and makes value chains stronger and more reliable. Technology, along with a strong value chain, enables partners to not only work together to solve the problems of the day, but allows them to plan and more accurately predict the impact of their actions.
