Why Don't We Do It in the Road Ahead? —Part 3, Security Enhancement (concluded)

The key issues to which AEC/FM and plant/process technologists should direct this year's management attention and technology budget can be grouped into three clusters: Infrastructure Realignment; Application Integration; and Security Enhancement. We looked at Infrastructure Realignment in IssueTwentyOne, and Application Integration in IssueTwentyTwo and the Business Continuity Planning component of Security Enhancement in Issue TwentyThree. In this issue we conclude this series about the Top Twelve Tech Trends for 2003with a combined look at the interrelated issues of e-signatures, Identity management and Digital rights management (DRM).
