Business Process Outsourcing.
There are a number of companies whose IT shops are providing market
competitive, rock solid IT as a shared service within the company.
Some of those companies are wondering how they can turn that into a
profit center. To quote a recent analysts report from CIO magazine: [Windley's Enterprise Computing Weblog]
I've been working on a project with a management consulting company
that actually takes an IT organization through stage 1 and into stage
2. Their focus is not Business Process Outsourcing, but
rather to make an IT organization healthy and turn it into a business
driver. Very powerful stuff.
I believe there is a time coming when it will be the norm for IT
organizations to adopt more of an internal consulting model. In
addition to internal billing systems and organizational health it will
take a fundamental shift in how IT workers view their role and how
managers staff projects. IT workers must ask what they can do for
the business and IT managers must staff projects with appropriate
levels of talent. Why? Because I believe that will be the
way IT can show the maximum value to the business. After all,
isn't that why the business hires consultants?

Emacs Sources
tsql-indent.el
This is an indentation function for SQL mode. It was written with Transact SQL in mind.
user-add-sql-folding-marks
This is a simple function that adds folding-mode marks to SQL sources. It is quick and dirty, but is fairly useful for me.
remove-line-boundary-in-region
This function removes all the line boundaries in a region. This, in effect, collapses all the lines in the region onto one line.
convert-camel-to-underscore
This function converts all the text that is camel cased in a particular region to underscore separated text.
