Presence Systems Number One On Federal Wish List

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday June 25, 2007 @10:02AM from the you-know-where-i'm-at dept.

coondoggie writes to tell us that top among feature requests for any next-gen communications system among federal network managers is the ability to identify and notify employees in real time. "Federal interest in presence technologies 'may come from the fact that agencies want to know where their workforce is to be able to look at the effectiveness and the efficiency of what they're able to do,' says Aaron Heffron, vice president of Market Connections. 'They want to be in contact with them at all times.'"

We're talking about employees here, not (necessarily) citizens.

Anyway, I think gps combined with push messaging would pretty much fit the bill here, in simplistic terms. I'm not sure where the 'Presence Systems' buzzwords came from.
