Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission

http://www.massaeronautics.org

MAC works in partnership with federal, state and local government to manage financial resources necessary to maintain Massachusetts' airports. Twenty-eight airports are eligible to receive Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funds from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). A separate State program, the Airport Safety and Maintenance Program (ASMP) serves to leverage AIP funds and to fund safety and maintenance projects that are not eligible for AIP assistance. Since 1991 over $234 Million in airport improvement projects have been completed at Massachusetts' airports. The FAA contribution was approximately $158 Million, representing an overall impact to the Massachusetts economy of over $900 Million. This means that the Commonwealth and its airports invested nearly $76 Million to generate nearly 3 times as much direct economic benefit ($138 Million) and over 10 times ($900 Million) in indirect economic benefits for Massachusetts. Clearly, the Massachusetts Airport System represents a powerful "bang for the buck" for the Massachusetts economy, benefiting all the Commonwealth's citizens.

DFAT

http://www.dfat.gov.au

DFAT has rolled out sixteen Opengear Console Managers to eight international sites with over two hundred to be installed by 2009/2010. The new system provided by Opengear will be more cost-effective for the Department allowing them to remotely maintain their servers, networks and telecommunications as well as deal with IT incidents, rather than send individual technicians to each location where a problem is experienced. Opengear CEO, Bob Waldie, said Opengear was very pleased to be working with DFAT to provide the new network of console servers. "By providing a system where server, network and telecommunications issues can be dealt with remotely from one location systems administrators can now avoid much of the cost associated with sending technicians to individual sites", Mr Waldie said.
