ITS sets Webcast on CMS 7.0: Grand Rapids-based ITS Communications will sponsor a Webcast, "What Is New In CMS 7.0," on Tuesday, Aug. 10 at 11 a.m. Eastern time. It used to be that security was as simple as using antivirus and firewall software. Now that workforces are becoming more mobile, it's about getting your arms around the complexity of endpoints. And since the most secure endpoint is a well-managed endpoint, Symantec endpoint management products work with the security tools you trust to make your computing environment faster, more stable, and more secure. Join us for a special Webcast to see how Client Management Suite 7.0 makes it easy to manage, deploy, secure, and troubleshoot all of your client systems throughout their entire lifecycles. In addition, see how the new Client Management Suite integrates with industry-leading management and security technology to go beyond client management into server management, asset management, security, backup and recovery, and even data-loss prevention. Symantec brings all these solutions together on a single unified platform. To register, visit  http://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/603113265.

NextEnergy to host delegation from Singapore: NextEnergy will host a Singapore Delegation Town Hall & Reception  Monday, Aug. 2 from 4 to 7 p.m. at NextEnergy Center, 461 Burroughs, Detroit. The event will host an academic and business development team from the National University of Singapore, who will share how Singapore could be a business partner. European companies like Vestas, Renewable Energy Corp. and others are already doing business in this vibrant, centrally located, English speaking, and economically viable region. This delegation has chosen to visit Michigan because of our dedication and growth within the emerging advanced energy industry. Strong trade, commitment to clean energy development, close proximity to 3 billion people, and investment makes Singapore the most competitive Asian country, and the World Bank ranks Singapore as the world's easiest place to do business. Since Singapore identified the Clean Energy industry as a strategic growth area for its economy last year, the city-state began to implement a comprehensive blueprint to grow the industry, starting with an initial funding support of S$350 million from the government.
To grow the industry, the Clean Energy Programme Office was formed. CEPO is an inter-agency workgroup comprising of different governmental agencies and is responsible for planning and executing strategies to develop Singapore into a global clean energy hub.
