Management Task Force Releases Final CIM Schema v2.5
San Jose, Calif. - June 12, 2001
http://www.dmtf.org/about/press/releases/2001_06_12.php
In association with the announcement of CIM v2.5, DMTF unveiled its new Web site, which has been revamped to respond to DMTF member feedback for improved navigation, content organization and design. This article is from the Press Release section of the DMTF web site and cleverly includes information to attract visitors to the web site. Including this kind of section in an organizations' web site dramatically increases the chances for their inclusion in print publications. Notice the layout and links on the left hand side for news reporters.

Industry executives expect more casualties in the lower end of the Web hosting industry. Those that cannot provide a one-stop shop for everything from collocation to managed services probably won't survive. The big players in the field -- notably Electronic Data Systems and IBM Global Services -- will benefit, while small specialists will struggle to remain independent. The source of this article is the451.com and it is authored by Dawn Hayes (30 Aug 2001). This company charges for its services, however TechTarget has made it available at the above link.
