Tax and Revenue Management: A government’s lifeblood
IT has provided the opportunities for governments to remodel the entire process of tax collection over the last decade. It is, however, a continuously evolving process and governments the world over need to constantly upgrade their tax systems to optimise their revenue workflows.

Swine flu calls for tougher IT security for home workers
With the threat of a global swine flu pandemic looming, IT consolidation and virtualization initiatives may be the solution to enable workers to work from home, an IT infrastructure performance company has suggested.
Homes may need to be treated as remote or branch offices that can be connected through a unique virtualised environment secured by centrally managed security measures.
Such measures would include firewall protection, intrusion prevention, antivirus, anti-spyware, URL filtering, web security, and anti-spam technologies.
Public sector end-users should be looking to use virtualised platforms carefully, insists IT infrastructure performance company Riverbed. Its Steelhead appliance, that comes with Check Point’s security features, consolidates and streamlines IT resources while lowering operational and capital costs, without compromising the performance or security of IT infrastructure, claims the vendor.
A declaration that the world has entered Phase 6 would signal a full-scale global pandemic – a situation that may lead to a lot of workers being required to stay at home.
The Influenza A (H1N1) pandemic alert level is at Phase 5 of a six-point warning scale. According to World Health Organisation figures, 43 countries have officially reported 12,022 cases of H1N1 infection, including 86 deaths.
