Real-Time Hits the Big Time: How LMI Will Never Be the Same
Imagine this... You work as an analyst for a government agency and your boss reports to the governor of your state every week about the trends that impact your quality of life. Your statistics and reports, with their wonderful bar graphs and tables, are all derived from labor market information that is, at best, a month or two old, and in a worst case scenario could be much older. Your goal is to forecast trends from this data and cross your fingers that your trends are correct. If your trends are not correct, well, that takes you down a road that few analysts wish to take. Does this sound familiar? If you're a state analyst, it probably does.
Silverlight Brings Statistics to Life
One of the major innovations in Virtual OneStop/Virtual LMI Version 10.05 is the inclusion of eye-catching, information-rich maps and graphs that display a wide variety of labor market information. These dynamic modes of presenting data are made possible using a small application called Microsoft Silverlight.
2010 Workforce Technology Conference, Back at the Beach
After giving the west coast a spin, we decided to return to sunny Clearwater Beach for the 7th Annual Workforce Technology Conference from June 7-10, 2010. Workforce Development without Boundaries, the 7th Annual Workforce Technology Conference, offers a comprehensive showcase of technology and solutions for enhancing workforce programs throughout the country. It provides a great opportunity for workforce development professionals, administrators, case managers, and LMI specialists to learn how the latest technology can improve their system performance and increase services. It's also the best place for representatives from state and local agencies to exchange ideas on re-employment strategies and best practices.
Security, it's Everyone's Business
Protecting the highly-sensitive individual, personal and financial information gathered and stored as a part of Virtual OneStop operations and activities is very high on the Geographic Solutions list of priorities. A variety of security tools at the application, database, and systems levels are used to protect this highly-important and sensitive information from unauthorized access and/or disclosure.
