A printer a telecommuter would love

To begin using the Pinnacle, users must first become comfortable with the Printer Control Panel, a smallish touchscreen that manage the functions of the machine.

Could your agency pay for your at once iPhone or Android upgrade? If Vivek Kundra has his way, it might. In March, Kundra recommended that CIOs and agency departments should throw away the "old-world" desktop configuration model and instead provide federal employees with a $2,000 stipend to purchase their own mobile devices. There is no doubt the government is going mobile. This April, the Army is expected to approve technical guidance for the Go Mobile app, providing civilian and military personnel mobile access to email, tasks, calendars, and contacts available on the Defense Knowledge Online portal. The new application will join 40 other apps on the DoD's online marketplace and work towards the Department's goal to provide soldiers with equipment and software they already know how to use. Mobility stands to fundamentally transform agency business processes. For instance, a new mobile app planned by the USDA's Natural Resources and Conservation Service is expected to cut paperwork for farmers by 60 to 70 percent. These projects, including new tools to extend the virtual desktop, underscore how federal agencies today are using real-world mobile applications to redefine mission success. Join Federal Computer Week for an informative discussion on how agencies are overcoming the budget, management, and security barriers to deliver game-changing results and preview the shape of mobility to come.
